My HP has many names. None are repeatable on the forum.

Sorry to butt in fellas but my personal favourites and have no probs at all are the Coolermasters and Arctics - quiet as and they are going into my beasty which is taking shape - case on the way - Coolermaster HAF XM - just my size - metaphorically speaking of course LOL!!

Sorry to butt in fellas

You are forgiven... This time. :devil:

 

[bassfisher6522]

Anyone know anything about this case?
Newegg.com - BitFenix Shinobi XL Window Black Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case

I like it...the only thing I don't see is the intake fans. I see plenty of exhaust fans/ports...only intake that I can for see is the bottom mount PSU - but then again that's cooling for the PSU and not the case.

just read the specs...there are two big monster fans....230mm fans - front and top.

230mm front mounted fan blowing over hard drive cage.

There's a 230mm front intake and places to add fans in the floor. It's a nice looking case, but there seems to be some spacing problems for the radiators if you're thinking water. I've asked this several times in this thread. Do these people actually use these cases they make?

Nice case, John. I just built in one. You'll like it. But don't expect your normal small mid tower.

BTW, to give you some perspective, that's an 11.4" Graphics card in there, and a Noctua NH-D14

Yeah the side door sold me as I had my sights on the Sniper and left it too long but actually did myself a favour.

Oh you fellas don't forget the filter the top exhaust fans if you are dustiaphobic like me - if you are wondering why just screw up some paper and throw it up into the air and watch what happens and I think you may get he drift

 

[essenbe]

They sell a windowed side door for it at Cooler Master. Still has the handle though. That's my favorite part. Don't know why they didn't put one on the back side.

 

[Britton30]

The HAF XM "mid tower" case is bigger than my Inwin full tower. HAs no place for any 3.5" front accessories, like a card reader though.

 

[essenbe]

They do make 3.5 to 5.25 adaptors. Plus, I believe you can buy the front covers from cooler Master

I did some cable management, and noticed an open cpu cable spot, now I have been getting a few black screens at start up with only the white dash blinking in the corner, So every time I have to switch back my oc settings to normal,and it will start fine, turns out the board needs 3x4pin cpu cables, I had the 8pin cable in, but never added the nother 4 pin, did that now,redone cables and now I can oc with ease. I feal kinda stupid for not thinking the board needed more power...

The board I'm getting is the same way. I've just been trying to figure where I am going to come with 2 8 pin cables. But, that's the least of my problems. I have figured pretty much what I want. I'm now trying to convince myself that I really need to spend the money.

Haha, I am glad it didn't oc right, made me put some more effort into the cable management.

That's funny. Same thing my Wife said.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Alsisgevat, That is a very nice re-do on the cables, hoses and all. Excellent call on the 2nd 8 pin power connector. Your rig is a monster and that's for sure !

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Steve, A card inside a display case at a high end mounting biking establishment I frequented said "Give Into Temptation !" I believe these words will ring in your ear and heart ! Just wish I was closer so I could watch and help build it!
