Hello all,

I have searched these forums and I could not find alot of information on the stacker 832. I have read some places that you can not use all 4 side mounted 120mm fans if you also just the thermalright 120 extreme. Does any one have any idea of this is true? And if so could you recommend a case for me?

I do not like side window panels, I think they are stupid. I want something with great airflow and space inside. For now I am only going yo be using air cooling, but if it had enough space for water cooling in the future that would be great.

I really did like the look and the supposed great air flow that the 832 has but it is just sad it does not have enough room to have a fan plus the 120 extreme cpu cooler on at the same time.

Thank you for your time.
 
I have the Stacker 832 with a Thermalright 120 Extreme. You only have to remove the fan and its bracket adaptor that is directly above the cooler. It is purposely made removable so it can be returned to factory spec easily if necessary. The other 3 side fans operate just fine. I love this case and cooler! I'm at 3.6 gHz on my Q6600 and it's stable as hell! :D
 
Thanks for the reply. Did you replace any of the stock fans with better fans at all? If so which one and how many did you use?

Thank you
 
I replaced them all with Scythe S-Flex F fans. One in back, one on top, three on the side, one on the Thermalright, and one in front. I have another one that I'm going to put up front using the bracket taken out from the side to clear the cooler. Cooler Master made it modular so that it snaps in place both on the side or in the front bays. Excellent design! The only problem I have with the case is a rattle I get once in awhile. If I press on the case in a certain spot, it goes away. I have yet to investigate what is causing the rattle, but I intend to eliminate it soon.
