All u guys looking for new cases n recommendations, pls post here.

The previous thread sumhow got screwed up when I merged it with a new 1. So here's the new Casings Recommendations thread.

Power Logic Modena 1200X

Market price : RM110 bundle with 250 true power PSU and transparent side panel.

i'm kinnda interested with elite cm..
where do u think in LYP i can "molest" this casing?? coz went to all it, i cant find it there at the rack... i want to take a look first the casing ...
and roughly how much it gonna cost??

Looking for a nice, spacious BTX casing. Might be running 2 SLi and PhysX. Able to fit in 6 hard disk spaciously + 2 optical drive. Most importantly, must have good airflow.

Budget max RM1k without PSU. Hope it's not too little.

If it's a workhorse ur lookin for --> the old Stacker (not the new sh1t)

You can whack everything but the kitchen sink inside.

TJ07. Should b good for all that you need.

what are the main diferences of the old and new stacker?

anyway, rm1k can get pretty top end stuff....

my bad....... read wrongly

Hello~~

Mind if i ask, can 8800gts be fitted into TJ04??

Of course can. The GTS is very short oni.

guys,

i have some problems choosing some casings...
i have narrow down my scope down to
CM stacker 810 and
TT Shark
both are tower casing and around the same price. i'm still at lost at which is better compare to the other...

pls don't tell me lian li is better... i know it's good but i can't get lian li in penang!

so guys, in terms of peformance and price ratio...please enlighten me.
other suggestion of other case are welcome.

regards,
point blanc

gigabyte aurora 570!!! up 2 u actually. wat u like then just get it.

Highly suggest that u get a TJ09, it can fit 6 drives, dedicated mid section air duct just for the display cards but it's not BTX

BTX can be done 1. No problemo.

yeah, like what uncle done to his ultimate sponsored casing.very2 nice!!!!

It's going to be tougher than TJ07 since not all of the TJ09 internals are removable

moderno = rm130 (+rm10 get transparent side panel!)
cycom = rm140
c-zone = rm269 wit 380w psu
which model u prefer? i'd go for 330..

guys,

actually what do you look into when planning on a casing?
besides:
air flow, amount of fans it can support, weight, space (expansion of ROMS and HDD).. is there anything i left out?

regards,
point blanc

ehmm.. thanks..
owh. moderno also got.. later can go to the shop..

any comment about this casing?? compare to C5 CM???
wut the diff bet 330 and 331???
as far as i can see from the picture.. this is the nearly perfect casing within it budget.. any model can beat this??
12cm front and back..


i thnk all.. depends on user..
me.. prefer not too big casing like TJ from silverstone.. coz i need to carry my cpu travelling back to my hometown

moderno got it on their website, still, better call them b4 u go there. just in case..
here's some camparison btw 330 and 331. cm5 got more reviews and recommendation tho..
why not add few more bucks for LL pc-g7 (if the promotion still got stock la )

edit: hey, fo33il's selling his cm5!


owh i'd go anywhere with TJ-07!! haha!

No, no more PC-G7 from ATE computers.
Stock finished, and promotion also no more.

how much roughly is the g7???

if buy expensive casing.. cant mod leh... sayang.. haahaha

ya lo... more to gamer looks when carrying that TJ.. hahhaa
like cfmc did..

is the gigabyte 3d aurora 570 good?
planning to buy the case.

As a previous owner & the first user of that casing in this forum [or maybe in malaysia ] i would say no.

I used that casing for only 3 month, then sell it back.

The reason?
bad airflow + bad thermal performance.

fantagero : aw man, that's my dream case so far. but soooo not cheap! ayyak!

sHawTY : really? it got such sweeeeet design!

yellow_label2207 : hey how bout TT big armor then? hehee..

i thinking between stacker 810 @ stacker 830.
but i really like the 3d aurora 570.

Really!!!!?? That's odd. My friend is using the normal Aurora and the airflow is fine. I thought the internal for both Auroras is similar.

a few month back there's some forum discussing regarding this aurora casing (forgot the name's of the forum ).most of the user not satisfy with the casing for same reason: bad thermal dissipation and airflow is not good at all....

haha, memang la, the case comes with a few 1200rpm 12cm fanz rite? but then rm4xx rm5xx , therez alot other better choice.

I can't comment much on the 3D aurora 570, but my bro using the original 3D aurora, it has not good ventilation bcoz his graphic card was blowing the hot air towards the HDD, this makes his 3 HDD warm up and the front intake not strong enuf to get it cool sufficiently, but the 2x 120mm exhaust fan does it's job coz with the Zalman CPU cooler, his Pentium D 930 can be cooled to 20C in an airconditioned room, only thing the bottom part of the casing is hot due to the 7800GT blowing all the hot air in.

I think of using the Vizo cooler like the one in Uncle ianho's King Kong II, it should solve some issues with it, or make sure the VGA cooler is blowing the hot air towards the back of the casing.

The main problem about Gaygaybyte 3D Aurora [New model or Old model, it's the same] is about the intake fan.

There's a lot of problem on the intake area.

1) The HDD Bay are facing the sidepanel, which means the direct airflow is blocked by the HDD bay.
2) The HDD bay does have holes in it's wall, but the holes are too small to compare with my LL PC-G7 hdd bay.
3) The airflow is also blocked by the honeycomb as the fan is outside of the honeycomb, not inside. This, creates a turbulence where the air can't go straight into the casing which creates bad airflow.
4) One intake and two exhaust? Bad idea don't you think?

Gaygaybyte should think of a way dealing with this kind of problem.
To those 3D Aurora users, there is a way, you can send your aurora's to ianho and ask him to mod the HDD bay to face the PCI slots so that the airflow could go directly to the GFX and this will result to better airflow. If you want better result, ask the modder to cut a blowhole on that honeycomb, with this, the intake will be much much better as more air can go directly into the casing. To create a better airflow, i suggest putting another 120mm intake blowhole into the casing.
Maybe on the top of the casing?

Just my suggestion though.

Need suggestion for casing with nice air flow.
Budget around rm200 ~300 (max).

any suggestion for getting casing without PSU

Still thinking of getting a balanced case (quiet and silent). Have been searching all over the net, and SPCR seems to write the most thorough review about silent computers. However, they 'seemed' a bit biased in their recommendations, or are they not?

Recommendations!

What case should I get?

Wah! U really dat unhappy with the V1200 kar? Haf u tried using just 1 fan, the rear fan as exhaust? Like how I used for my old rig?

in KL? of course at LYP..

the review does not even covers any lian li case ????

what a waste .. they should review the silent case series men .. it's definitely quiet enough ...

buy from vassalle, he is selling it. LOL
