My Brand New HAF-X

pparks1 Has a point though in stating that this case is overkill for some. Especialy with one of these rigs he quoted. all of that could have fit fine in a mid size case for less than half the price and cooled just as well. Thats all im sure he was trying to point out. But like in real life, Some like it big and baller!

Yeah, you pretty much understood what I was saying. I'm all for nice cases, and dropping money on things is sometimes well worth it. And like you said, I think a lot of people are drawn to these massive cases just because they are that...massive. However, after a while, sometimes dedicating all of this personal space to a case that large becomes something people don't want to do. And you can often find many of the advanced features of a large case in a smaller footprint. Because honestly, most of us will never use that much space. So rather than just go for "full tower" because that seems like what everybody else wants, I encourage people to not limit themselves to a huge case. You can get features, good airflow, and nice cabling options in a mid tower as well.

Nice job, Archie!

You did a darn nice job with your case too.

We will have a review of the new Corsair H70 coming up pretty quick. Which you might find interesting.

I also did a review of the ECO 120 and when its outfitted with some nice Scythe fans in push pull it does a great job cooling my i7 at 3.8

I have a few really sweet cases coming in for review in the next couple weeks; the new one from Lian Li looks to be special.

Here is a sneak preview for you guys.

Since I gave you a peak at the Lian Li; here is a new chassis from a newer company "Sentey" that will be delivered on Monday for me to review. This thing is going to be fun to review.

Good thing the wife likes the Red so she will have a couple of choices for her next case. LOL

The Sentey Arvina GS6400R

It looks like Red is the 'new blue'.

Interesting side window pattern on the Lian Li.

Nice looking cases but I'm not sure I'm really a red case kinda guy.
Sure it will be all the rage for younger builders though.Fabe

Matte black for me please....

But the side panel looks cool.
