Today is a good day... I finally managed to make a plan for my new PC case.
I should hopefully get it early next week, but I just paid for a second hand Corsair Graphite 600T White (with mesh and window sidepanels, all accessories, original packaging and in mint condition) for a mere R1300 (ZAR). I'd say that's quite a bargain..
Oh yeah, I'll definitely post pics when I get it... It's probably one of the most awesome "upgrades" I've given my PC in a long time. Besides, my current case has become somewhat cramped over the last few years.
That I have, but most of the places I found this case were closer to R2000 or shipping was a problem. Originally I actually had my sights set on a CM Cosmos (either the RC1000 or RC1100), but that would probably still set me back something like R3000 or R3500 these days in this country.
However, when I first saw the original 600T middle of last year (plain black, no window), I decided that was going to be my next case. I'll be honest, I really didn't think I'd get a white one, but it does have numerous improvements in design over the previous models. Heck, I plan to mod it, so who knows, maybe one day it suddenly won't be white anymore....
Edit: Speaking of modding. My first plan when the case arrives is to strip it completely and check how it's put together, I want to see if I can design and make a case handle that compliments the rest of the case and doesn't get in the way of the fan spaces on top... It will be my first major mod.
Ok guys, some new exciting changes for penguin. My SSD and Case have come in. I did a initial case transfer and put in my new Crucial M4 256gb SSD. I have some pics. I am not done installing WIN7 on the SSD. I did the initial install, but I was rather tired so I left it vanilla. The drivers and all the goodies will be installed this weekend or after the holidays. Here are some initial pics. By the way, the case is called Akasa Venom Toxic Gaming Big tower, and let me tell you...it's HUGE. It came with 3 fans installed..1 120mm fan and 2 200mm fans ( I think )..they are HUGE. I have also upgraded to a 650 watt Chieftec modular PSU.
