U3 done better: Jonsbo C3

[theGryphon]

Proper GPU support, PSU at the bottom, filter, perforations on the side... beats U3 any day, including the looks department. Still, temps will not be ideal especially for SLI. They should've doubled the perforation size and added fan locations to help cool GPUs...

What do you guys think?

21.5l. A bit chunky, and still very lacking in ventilation. Even with the HDD 'slab' removed, that's not much area with which to supply the entire case. and no intake fan mounts unless you go for reverse flow (intake at the rear, exhaust out the side).

Yeah, apparently it grew in volume. Beyond 20L, no SFF!

I know, cooling is a disappointment still. I don't know what these designers are thinking really...

All the more reason to look at Nova: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1816110

I liked U3 for its short depth and near itx size case that supported an matx motherboard. U3 looks better than C3 imo hopefully they wont discontinue U3 for this.

not sure C3 has any major thermal benefits compared to U3.

I wish the Nova supported full ATX like the U3 and C3.

huh c3 doesnt support full atx

This is ugly compared to my U3. Wish they would have made the U3 slightly larger just to accommodate 11" GPU's.

Why would you need full ATX over mATX? And why would you even bother going with ATX in a SFF build?

ATX PSU, not ATX mobo.

ATX PSU, not ATX mobo.

Ah, that makes sense

Yep, forgot to add PSU in there. Thanks
