I wasn't planning on getting the Gladiator 600, actually thought of getting a cheapo casing since this rig is basically a NAS rig that will be loaded with HDs (4 now, another 4 later), and placed in my store room next to my main switch. But I wasn't impressed my the cheap RM100 casings and so I went back to checking out CM casings, and found this for just over RM200. I liked the interior layout, and the fact I could put in 4x 140mm fans. Don't need a window for this rig, and I figured the fans will go a long way to keeping 8 HDs cool in a non-aircon tiny room thats likely to be quite warm in daytime.

I know its overkill but I bought 4x 140mm and 1x 120mm Xigmatek XLFs for this casing. Now all I gotta do is find 140mm air filters to keep dust out.

wah~ 4x140mm fans?
ohya bro...the side panel can put 2 140mm fans..rite?
but don buy too big geh hsf
otherwise wil block a 140mm fan de lo
do u get wat i mean???

@onn

or just 4x120mm fan
no 140mm fan size at the side panel

doing cable management with sniper just now...

now pening pening dunno how to do..

try to post it here
i also a sniper user

i do it half way...
then give up..
then just plug in back everything without thinking...

Yeah I know what you mean. I am using the NT06 sink which is not too high, so it should fit just fine.

The Gladiator 600 can mount:
1x 120mm at the back behind CPU
1x 140mm on top (140mm fan included)
2x 140mm on the side panel
1x 140mm at the bottom front for the HD cage (120mm fan included, but can mount 140mm).

After disassembling the casing, I found that the bundled 120mm fan for the HD cage is actually a LED on/off fan (according to manual, it's blue, I haven't tested) and it is connected to an on/off switch on the front panel next to the power & reset switches. I recall seeing a few LED on/off fans in LYP, so now I will have to go back and look for a 140mm LED on/off, so I can have 4x 140mm fans and not waste the LED on/off switch.

One nice thing about it is that CM provided a dust filter to place underneath the PSU intake fan, so as to keep your PSU internals cleaner.

mmm...not bad not bad
the most important is picture!!! hehe

aiyo how come so inactive already one ar?
