I have had my thermaltake armor for what seems like forever now. Its definitely old and beat up looking, and it tends to rattle here and there...decided recently to switch to a new case but wanted a mid-tower that didnt cost me an arm and leg. did quite a bit of research and came across this case...the placement of everything seems to work perfectly for what i had in mind.
i ordered the case off newegg 1 1/2 weeks ago for $60 with a $20 MIR. so, a little over $40 for the final cost of this case. i figured what the hell, its only $40! if it doesnt work, i could just sell the case...
got the case and figured out id have to downsize my watercooling just a tad. i ordered 2 rads, one dual 92mm black ice gtx rad for the top of the case and a single 92mm gtx rad for the rear. for now, this will be cooling an i5-750 o/ced to 3.8ghz. i MIGHT add a gpu to the loop later depending on fitment of everything.
yesterday i was able to do a rough fitment of the rads and reservoir, seems like its gonna work!
here are some pics for now. i will update this thread as i get further along with the build.
comments and suggestions are welcome, negative or positive of course.
