Right, I'm so jealous.

Did I mention it comes with 64MB Ram, a 6.4GB HDD and a 14" Monitor! I didn't want to show off but you know how it is with new toys :)

While on the subject of cases, I love mine but it is very big. I saw this one recently and I really love the look of it.

H440 - NZXT


Edit: It comes in a variety of colors too.

That case has a lot of nice features. Here is a better video of it. I pretty much agree with what Linus has to say about it so I won't bother to do much rehashing (most of the time, Linus is spot on with his evaluations and doesn't waste any time with mindless chatter). The "stealth" HDD cages seem to becoming one of the latest trends. It's a great idea in some ways but I would like to see them come with a backplane so one wouldn't have to deal with a cable jungle in the way of pulling drives. The metal HDD trays with the captive thumbscrews are brilliant when compared to the plastic ones. I scarfed up a boat load of spare trays for my 650D since I know darned well the plastic ones will break someday. Personally, I would like to see trayless cages. I'm surprised the manufacturers don't offer them since they could be cheaper to make. Making the cages reversible would also be nice in case someone had better access to the left side of the case instead of the right side.

The slotted fan mounting holes are another new trend. The idea of being able to move the fans around is good but I feel it could be done just as well with multiple mounting holes. Those wouldn't weaken a case like the slots do and would be easier to seal without looking junky.

Looks fine...i saw that on post #196

But i'm still an old fashioned with my Combo Bd/Dvd bay!

Same here but that is primarily a gamers' case and very few gamers use optical drives in their builds anymore, preferring to keep an external one knocking about for the rare occasions they need one.

You mean you still use a DVD drive in your PC! Oh man, this forum is going downhill haha.

It gets worse. My new case will have two!

Finally after saving for a very long time I managed to grab my dream rig. The case is awesome. I challenge anyone to find a nicer case than this! It runs real sweet (I won't list the components cos I don't want to show off!) and the screen is a real joy for multitasking. Gaming on it is out of this world!

I just wish I could have afforded it 20 years ago.

Damn Paul that's nice! Imagine dual 5 1/4" drives, you can do anything. And only 10 minutes to boot it up.

Yeah well actually it only takes 15 mins to boot to desktop. And then only a further 8 mins before I can click something! Pretty cool right :)

One thing nice about the Commodore 64s were they were pretty much instant on. My old 64C could run circles around my SSD equipped machines when it comes to boot times.

I post websites or videos thinking that some might like them.
Case Labs is new to me and maybe new to other members also.

I have no way of knowing who likes or dislikes the person in the video and don't care to investigate such things.
My post was intended to be about the case not the person in the video.

Is the case perfect? I don't think so but it is a hellofa great idea.
My ENTHOO PRIMO is a great case but as usual their are some things I would like to see them change. I have change a few things myself.
If Case Labs just made a Full Tower with proper methods of air filters it would be on my list of next case to buy.

Paul, I've been looking at the H440 in white recently........it's such a sexy case!

You guys have been on the Evil side lately!!

$666,66 was showing off components! The Apple 1

@Paul, keep that one safe, you end-up loaded one day for a bigger case!

I can't afford CaseLabs though, but wouldn't mind that Phantek Enthoo Primo!

I believe Jack and I could both recommend the Primo. The good and the bad.

Beside good & bad when i saw the preview of that case i stumble on its righteous beauty...

I use it most for musics & watching movies, which i'm doing a lot, more than gaming which i love too!

I watch videos reviews but do not care if the guy is standing right or not, i'll go through him...more onto the tech specs i can find.

You guy, lucky unperfectly made P. Enthoo Primo!:)

I have a DVD/R/RW and a BD/RE drive too. That's a BluRay burner, used it once with the free BD disk that came with it.
