Intel Core 2 Duo E6300(OC to 2.4g - ONLY WITH THE SIDE PANNEL LEFT OFF) I had planned on going to a H20 set up later so I'm not totally put out. I really love the case, but the heat buildup is baffling. No front E-SATA hook up, but there's Fire wire (go figure) I still can't explain the heat build up and have resigned to just leave the side off. I even installed a Zalman 9700 heat sink/fan and temps were still pretty hot. I hadn't even attempted to OC any of my components and was only reading temps for a base to measure against - for when I did try to goose the system. I kept my rig running and took off the panel to see if I could feel the direction of the air flow and then noticed an immediate drop in temps. But for some unknown reason, all device temps read about 20c higher with the solid side, and 10 to 15c higher with the mesh screen. Wide swing out feet give great stability/tractionĬons: You would think that with the solid window installed in the side panel, that optimum air, flow front to back, would be created. Rock solid and sturdy.very little plastic. Internal storage bin for tools/cables/whatever Pre-cut/rubber-lined holes for H20 cooling tubesįront mounted fan pulls cool air over the HDD rack and has a removable dust filter. Includes both a clear acrylic window and aluminum mesh side panel - chose whichever you like - you're not tied to one style (Why don't other case makers do this?)
Toolless design for expansion cards, HDDs actually work - unlike some "toolless" cases I've worked with in the past. Pros: Ordered this case after reading very positive customer and industry reviews. Overall Review: 6 out of 5 stars, this chassis is simply incredible. Also, the power button on the front doesn't feel nearly as quality as the rest of the chassis, it feels kind of wobbily. But it will last you for years as long as mobo mounting standards don't change. Hidden clamps make for easy cable dressing.Ĭons: Expensive, and doesn't include a PSU. Mesh window is very attractive and helps air flow. Tool-less mounting systems are wonderful and easy. The 3 fans push lots of air, yet NEVER become too noisy. There is a corner bracket mounted on the inside of the lower left corner for added stability in the weakest point. It supports ATX, MicroATX, Express ATX, and other types that are rarely ever heard of. There is so much room in this case - more than any case I've ever seen outside a server box. Fingerprints show up rather easily, but Gigabyte includes a microfiber cloth for taking care of these. The front door is made out of thicker, heavier metal. The beautiful brushed-aluminum finish is looks very sharp, and it's extremely durable. Pros: If you're considering ANY other chassis for your PC, disregard it now and buy this one.
