puntoMX Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Chieftech<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Okay, put Casetek and ThermalTake too, they are using the same ones as Chieftech does with 1mm steel (or aluminium).Only problem is that it only has 8cm fans (double in the back)...

keytotime Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I have a green chieftech matrix full tower. It stays cool, even though i haven't turned it off for more than 5 seconds in 6 months. One word of advice, no clear side windows and no chief material. Steel or thick Aluminum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horsecharles Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Everyday non-budget busters: Scorpio fans front, side, rear...see-thru a plus..... this one i wouldn't mind, but i'd have to drill all kinds of extra exhaust & fan vents..... http://www.xoxide.com/xopacl2.htmlOr you can do what this guy did: http://www.dansdata.com/hx45fan.htmI also usually remove 1 or 2 unused front ide covers, ditto rear unused expansion slots-- why not???????http://www.koolance.com/ to be or not to be--perchance to dream....interesting as a project, but kind of irrelevant overkill esp re athlon64?? Unless if it would allow quadruple overclocking of the processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horsecharles Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Ja, even with a lot of money it makes no sense to get it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 i own an Antec Super Lanboy, its a very well made case. I like the front panel connectors, the 120mm fan in front and in back (quiet & cool)), and the hard drive rack, plus its made of aluminum (light & cool).Im probably going to build SFF PC's in the future though, so im looking at the Shuttle XPC and Biostar IDEQ case series.

puntoMX Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Only problem I have with those lanboys is that it´s only 0.8mm aluminium wich makes is not a stronge case, also the ABS (plastic) used for doors is thin, but stong, no one killed one of the doors in 15 months. I have 6 Lanboy "I" cases here in my cyber and those ones only use 8cm fans. It´s good that they moved to 12cm fans.http://www.anandtech.com/casecooling/showdoc.aspx?i=2346Also a good case, tested by Anandtech, from Antec...
