QUOTE(revolution @ Jul 3 2012, 10:43 PM) so i guess aerocool is 1 step ahead... i saw there is up to 8 fans can be installed on the case... which position fans is more crucial to help the airflow? Yup, it use internal USB3.0. http://hardware-academy.org/reviews/36-geh...ed.html?start=2 if i have extra bucks i might install 1 or 2 more fans within the 6 (8-2 preinstalled) free slot left... and also are the 2 of the 3.0 usb port both using internal?  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

QUOTE(donavan1986 @ Jul 13 2012, 01:26 PM) Sifu Hilmax, I don't know who the sxxxtaxx that suggest glued the PSU filter. "Given the fact that the filter is not exposed on the underside of the case, users will have to resort to compressed air in order to clean it, an unnecessarily inconvenient design choice. If you don't mind puncturing the PSU filter, there is the option to mount a 140mm fan on the bottom of the case." From http://pro-clockers.com/cases/2215-aerocoo...er.html?start=3 and http://www.tech-kings.net/home/index.php?o...es&limitstart=2 .AEROCOOL STRIKE-X GT BLACK EDITION /USB3.0 not better than the aerocool strike-x one advance meh? this one got hdd socket one isn't it? Oh, you can buy silent fan if you cannot stand the fan noise. This post has been edited by Hilmax: Jul 13 2012, 03:26 PM |

QUOTE(AlOnE89 @ Jul 29 2012, 12:01 PM) cm690 and corsair looks kinda same eh, but dunno why i prefer CM design more XD No, cuz the cost adding those USB3.0 adapter+case can buy you a good casing such as Bitfenix Shinobi window,Xigmatek Midgard II, Corsair 300R window etc. There are many user of CM 690 II Advance here as far i can tell. For budget user Aerocool Strike X One Advance is quite good but no match to Xigmatek Asgard Pro window.What about Aerocool and NZXT? Are they too flimsy so no one recommend them? ._. |

QUOTE(teddy90 @ Apr 26 2013, 10:18 AM) Hi just want to know, is thermaltake casing good? Seldom see their casing being recommended I think because in TT lower tier case, design are not into taste of many users. Middle and upper have good design but a bit pricier than other brand. Most lower tier don't have big window option and i personally dislike fan mounting on the side. |
