I just don't understand why Jack felt the need to remove the video because 1 person didn't like it. I mean if the whole forum ran like that then most of the posts would be removed each day lol.
I am not getting at you Lady F, you have your opinion on him and that is fine, but there is no need to delete posts because of one persons opinion is there and I am sure you agree. I am glad Tony managed to quote it and get the vid back in so it wasn't lost as I wanted to watch it myself tomorrow.
The joys of forums I guess. :)
Folks it's no big deal.
My photos were wrong and the video was wrong so I just removed them.
Now back to the CaseLabs STH10.
It's huge and can even be made bigger. Its adaptable to just about any desire except one.
NO FILTERS. No normal way of adding filters in any normal fashion.
How can a company design such a case and leave out a way to filter incoming air.
You can stick a couple dozen fans or so in that case and can't filter any of them.
It's a all aluminum case so that leaves out magnetic filters.
To me that verifies that fact that one must put on their thinking cap and view many reviews to make sure they get a case that suites them. Even when a case cost that much it could be a major mistake to use it. A dust bunny hotel.
This is just my opinion.
Jack, DEMCifilter SA pre made or custom order, magnetic filters w/ metallic tape

The lack of easy filtration is one of three problems I have with the Case Labs cases. The other two are the rinkydink HDD cages and the width of the cases. Other than that, they are very well engineered. I took a long look at them before deciding on the corsair 600D. The Phantek Enthoo Pro is even better engineered but I would miss the fourth 5.25" bay (it has only three). The odd bass-ackwards HDD trays would be a lot better if they turned the HDDs back around and put in a backplane for them to plug into. I could have probably gotten by with two less HDDs.
Face it, no one has yet to make the perfect case for me. Someday (if I live long enough), I might get a feral follicle shaft up my onager and scratch build a case.
The problem I have with case labs case is the sheer cost. I would never be able to sneak $800+ for a case past her who must be obeyed. I'll stick to Lian-Li Global
There is no way I could justify that expense, it is like spending $1000 on a CPU. Beyond the laws of diminishing returns. That is my thoughts of course some of you have more disposable income and your choices may vary.
The only reason the cost of a Case Labs case didn't deter me is I was looking at one of the "not quite so expensive" ones. One of the joys of being single is not having to justify an expense to anyone but myownself. I am the only one who has to eat mustard sandwiches (without the bread) for however long it takes to pay for something.
So is most of mine. Most of my income gets shunted to a bill paying account where most payments are automatically withdrawn.
