SFF usually = m-ATX or smaller.
BUT...someone did manage to mod an ATX board in the the XQBOX long time ago... with the PCI Slots etc facing the side instead of the back. anyway, u wan small case with atx board u should take a look at Lian Li V600 or Lian Li A05. u could also check the XQBOX ATX HTPC cases HERE |

Dun think CM690 can fit that in as well... should need sumthing much bigger (deeper) Hmm..i will wait for 5950!!! lets hope its shorter!! |

then we shall wait for gt300.. since all prices WILL DROP Eventually! but i read in some sites its around 600USD which equals to just RM2k.. give and take all the middleman cuts it should be around 2.4 - 2.5k? just worried about case space.. im sure RV01 RV02 and FT02 will not have a prob fitting this monster as your mobo is vertically mounted.
Added on November 23, 2009, 4:34 pmwei 2.5k can buy i7 920 with p6t and performance tri channel 6gb ddr3 ram X.X.. dam expensive wei!! This post has been edited by burner: Nov 23 2009, 04:34 PM |

hahaha tot this is a casing thread...
but some how it become a pricing discussion thread... anyway...to install this card i think u really need a giant casing... expect the casing to be over 400 bucks... reason?? again....take a 12 inch ruler out... and u can feel how is 13.5 inch "even if i won a competition and get the card for free... i believe i will sell it off...and get an 5870 (2gb version maybe) |

i thought that LL Full Tower, CM HAF932, Cosmos & Cosmos S also can be fitted by this giant GC.
Wonder how come the title is about casing support then ppl talk about pricing discussion. Please talk only based on the TS question. |

But then again ur running WC so ... ur temps is going to be low anyway |

 Hi, I'm looking for a new casing, the casing I am using now is a mini atx casing. I just bought a silverstone ST50F and I don't think it would fit in that casing. So I was wondering if it could fit in this Cooler Master Elite 360 Dual Tower / Desktop Casing? If there's any other casing that you guys can recommend, my budget is below 200? thanks |

well it depends on ur budget. if u hav an extra cash to burn, cosmos would be better. otherwise than that, cm690 should be fine. n since a lot of forumer here said cm690, it must be true.

in term of space, K-62
in term of airflow, Cm690 in term of balance, Midgard do note that CM690 have little space opening for high end graphic card. HD5870 just barely fit and HD5970 just going to screw the case airflow like a total idiot. K-62 is better in both term, unless you are mentioning K-58 which more suited into those category of pricing (RM 250-300). but Lancool's casing got a problem with it screw-less mechanism but still a good choices. Midgard is mediocre and the build is somehow not as tough as it looks. But in the end, its all about your preferences, whether you into airflows, spacing or just sheer looks. |

i am not pretty sure myself whether my friend encounter unluckiness or what, but the back extension panel and the HDD panel seems a bit too fragile for a little rough handling.
That is what i'm encounter on one of the K-62/K58 that i play around. |

storm scout would win in term of beauty, and the airflow is quite fair in performance. The problem with scout is spacing. it can't even fit 5870 and 5850 just barely fit in... this will disturbed the airflow.
if you have to choose between those, i would say a solid K-62 |

k62 la bro..agree with mADmAN. cm690 is over rated. im also use 690 before this. then i saw the painting finishing,it really makes me frustrated. i sold it and bought a Lian Li.
but since Lian Li is not in ur choice, go for k62. |

Yup. It's better to use MAtx than trying to mod ATX to fit into SFF.

I have a powerlogic allegra casing that might be considered SFF (it has almost ATX sized length and width, the thickness is shorter than full ATX). It can fit a full ATX mobo inside.

to TS,
I have this casing i bought 2 days ago, it can fit my PSU nicely since CM make the PSU fit in vertical mode in those casing, but make sure it will not fit with high end GC because the psu will block the big size of the GC, i use MSI Nvidia 250GTS and i need to take out the PSU braket( the psu braket come with the casing) and only 3mm width available between the PSU and GC. basically the air ventilation in the casing not so good if you use big GC(mid end~high end gc) because the size of the GC will block the air ventilation in the GC site and the ventilation in the CPU.RAM should be nice. i use silerstone 500w modular( forgot the product name) price rm267, check it at Garage sale for more info for the PSU. cheers, Taka. |

I own a CM690 and K-62.
CM690 looks better on the outside but feature-wise, nothing comes close to K-62 in that price range. I love both cases but if I had to choose, I'd go for the Lancool. You'll also notice Midgard's interior design is nearly identical to a CM690, but not as good-looking outside. This post has been edited by bottomcoughs: Dec 6 2009, 02:03 PM |

I would not say in a few days time, i clean my casing once per month on average (or twice or thrice when i am dead bored). and there are not so many dust to wipe actually. but i got a good tendency to see dust here and there stuck on the mesh grill, especially on the larger holes. Get a smaller mosquito net like mesh grill and install it between the fan and the large mesh grill and you are good to go.

Ask about new casings and casings you're thinking of buying here. Do not post all over the place about what case to buy, where to buy, which is better, which is nicer. Post it all in here.

Just asking, what is the best casing under RM 300?
Some preferences: (Just agak-agak nia...) - ATX board - No need water cooling - Emphasis on good air flow - Prefer PSU at botton - Got some removable air filters - Can fit at least 160mm tall heatsink and HD5870 Thanks! |

Dunno about that casing, but I can say for sure that the 5850 can barely, very barely just fit inside my sagitta. It's hard to put in the 6-pins though, had to bend the wires to 90 degrees.
Anyway, make sure you have about 270mm+ clearing from opening to hdd to be really safe. |

I need a casing recommendation. I'm planning on getting a brand new system built for me (budget: approx 5k for the CPU system (ie excluding monitor, speaker etc)) I was hoping to get the Silverstone Fortress 2, but no one seems to have it available locally. So I need alternatives.
My priorities are as follows (from highest to lowest): Minimal dust - ie, must have filters in place on all intakes Size - no bigger than the FT02 (212 x 497 x 616 mm) Silent (not stealthy, reasonable noise is OK) Cool (again reasonable, I'm planning on purchasing better heatsinks/ cooler rather than relying on stock functionality) Budget - really dunno, I know what I'm gonna spend for the whole thing but not so much the individual breakdown. I was gonna ask the individual builders here to give me quotes as I can't build my own system from ground up. But I'll say approx RM800? Feedback appreciated, thx! |

have u tried taking a look at what lian li has to offer?
i prefer them over silverstone's steel cases the PC-P50 has been catching my attention lately and is being sold for RM699 HERE u can also use that thread to check out prices....though unfortunately theyre a lil expensive as theyre the new distributor prices... the old distro which was ATE was actually cheaper....u might still be able to get from ATE in lowyat plaza...but itll most likely be last stocks...theyre still the place to go for Lian Li though This post has been edited by mADmAN: Feb 4 2010, 01:39 AM |

dont limit urself to the PC-P50 (though i find it to be a good case, especially with the 100% tool-less installation)
go to the thread i linked and see the cases within ur budget and google them for reviews and judge for urself... there are other lian li sellers in garage sales...u can use their threads to check out prices and models as well oh....n check out lancool k-62 as well....based on the P50 but with a better HDD cage....and about half the price....unfortunately, its steel. |

Due to lots of traveling, now thinking of getting a smaller atx casing, actually i am a fan of ah lian a05 until i read about the casing having air flow(heat) prob. However, they said the prob can be corrected by modifications with i am not going to do cos lack of skills and tools.
so now some most important criteria for my casing is the dimension (not bigger than a05 in term of volume), then the net weight must be less than 5.5kgs. after searching around, i found some alternatives using A05 dimension as my guideline (39,200cm3 ) 1) xigmatek asgard (35,830cm3) 2) thermaltake v3 (38,640cm3) 3) CM elite 335 (37,132cm3) can anyone comment about the quality of the trio? besides, feel free to recommend other casing that might suits my needs |

I found my current HTPC fan noise level are pretty annouying. hence 1st step i did is changed the CPU heatsink and fan to fanless CPU heatsink (CM gemini II). Now CPU temp ~ 35C and MOBO~45C.
im no expert and need some recommendation to choose a casing for my HTPC considering silent is priority and running with typical temp for both CPU and MOBO. Some shop had recommended me to go for CM sileo 500 for dead silent and silverstone KL01 for cooling. Please advice ... my budget limited to 500rm.

Hello everyone, i'm looking for a casing for my new setup, want it to be either a medium or mini tower, with a removable motherboard tray. Is that possible? I'm considering the Lian Li V351 also, but not sure the internal space is big enough or not. Can give me some suggestions?
(Would like to have black interior and window side panel if possible, thanks.) |

Any recommendation for a decent mid tower casing under rm 200? Budget able to stretch to 250 if really necessary. Has to be able to fit 5850 at least.

Mates, I'm collecting votes here. Either CM 690 II Advance or CM Storm Scout I'll be laying my hands on. Their price are kind of similar. Lotsa people asked me to go for the 690 II Advance. Hmm
Still haven't decided whether it's m-ATX or normal ATX instead. Wanna assemble a new desktop =) |

Better air flow system? The storm scout front panel there features 4 usb ports, yet the casing looks attractive. That's why it gave me a headache issue there.
690 II Advance. Hmm Too bad it doesn't come with side window. Haih. Don't feel like doing the modification |

cm storm scout kinda lesser space compare to cm 690 II advance which will affect a little in air flow system. CM 690 II advance has Sata Docking some more. kinda worth the price compare to cm storm scout.

Anybody knows if the CoolerMaster HAF X is out in Malaysia yet? My first choice would be the Corsair Obsidian 800D. Which is the most elegant casing out there without all those lala LEDs and lala-ish design but it's SO DAMN EXPENSIVE. I think CZONE has it in its pricelist at RM1.5k

Thanks for the recommendation. FT02 is not bad but I'm kinda sold on a full tower case =S and having USB3 ports is a must too so actually that rules out the Obsidian 800D. I hope the hideous monster that is HAF X will be brought in soon =) along with GTX 460.Actually the more I read and watch youtube videos about the Obsidian 800D, the more willing I get to buy it. -.- ..... Stupid lust for inanimate objects. Please donate to me so I can seek treatment from CZONE or Viewnet to be cured. Amazon lists the Obsidian 800D for USD270 which is about RM900. That's about RM600 cheaper than in Malaysia. ZOMG. Anyway I could import this case for cheaps? =) This post has been edited by User61: Jul 20 2010, 03:31 AM |

QUOTE(fisherman10 @ Aug 8 2010, 09:36 PM) all right!. thanks a lot man. it is better tat u place ur psu's fan facing downwards so tat the fan will intake the cool air from the bottom of ur casing into ur psu. if u place the psu's fan facing upward then the fan will intake all the heat from ur casing into the psu which is not really a good thing. any of u guys know how is the cable management like for this case? is there enough space for the excess cables to run on the other side behind the mobo? i only have 2 hdd and 2 cd drives. so there's like kinda a lot of excess cables. another question, since the psu is at the bottom, which way should i place the psu? should the psu fan be sucking air from the bottom hole of turned upside down and suck air from within the case? Thank you. |

Hi guys, need some advice here. Now I've been using Gigaybyte Aurora casing (not 570) for quite sometime. I can say that the air flow inside the casing is not very good especially the front intake. First there is grill that IMO actually block the air, and then there is the HDD cage, with just holes to allow intake air to flow. Now I'm considering several options:
a) modding, to cut off the grill and some part of the HDD cage to allow more air (perhaps this can reduce noise too) - disadvantage is I don't have the equipment b) buy a new casing; I'm looking at CM690 2 Advanced. Seems good to me, though I would like to look at cable management too. c) get a water cooling set instead; expensive, but investment will surely last in the long run. which option should I take? Thanks |

I've considered to do the BTX mod too, but in the end I think watercooling is much more fun to play After I'm done setting up the watercooling set, maybe I can start working on modding, especially on the fan grill |

I planned to get a new chassis but this new CM690 II Plus has been in my mind for quite sometimes, and 1 thing that make me think really hard is... the front fan is not capable of cooling all the 6 hard disk cage.
Thus, I was wondering if any of CM690 II owner here ever thought of mod a 200mm fan at the front? Is the space enough to fit in a 200mm fan? From the specifications the width is 214mm, making the 230mm fan out of question. So can anyone verify this for me? And any other suggestion to make it capable of cooling all the 6 hard disk cage? 2 x 120mm? Please do post any useful suggestion. |

From what i see on the picture, it has an optional HDD 120mm fan to cool the top portion while the front 140mm blue LED fan is used to cool the bottom.
 Maybe you could add a 200mm fan but most of it comes like 200 x 200 x 30 - and the stock front fan is 140 x 140 x 25. Im not sure if 5mm would make a big diff Or if you're not running large GPU's then add the 200mm fan at the back of the HDD cage? one 140mm on the front and 200mm on the back, hehehe..push and pull config |

K62 is a TRUE tool less case...even mobo screws oso tool less...
and the PCI slot tool less design is so far the only one that TRULY works. the rest all as for handle...even if i move the case around alot...i still wouldnt be bothered with the handle.. and all black=win |

IMO CM690 II Advance is very good already. (with 6 vibration dump hdd slot)
3 7200 RPM HDD run MAX 42C at afternoon without aircon. Later will try 6 1TB 7200RPM see how it goes. BTW, you can remove the big front fan and install 2 smaller ones to get a full cover for all 6 HDD. |

Can anyone recommends a nice minitower case?
Actually I want to get NZXT Vulcan, but due to budget limit, has to find a cheap one... Price range not exceeding RM130 (40USD), good airflow, can support SLI build and monster card... Right know I'm thinking of CM Elite 341, is this a right choice? |

QUOTE(Pis @ Sep 21 2010, 12:50 PM) I know, that is why I recommend CM Elite 360 (RC-360), a mini-tower that accommodates micro-ATX and ATX motherboards. I thought it can accommodate atx mobo it is a mid tower, my bad. Thanks for the recommendation! This one sure will be in my list. |

TT v4 i dont know got how many fan, but Elite 430 come with only 1 fan. U should consider that also unless u already have fans to fill them in.
they have the same layout, but 430 i know dont have enough space at the back mobo to hide your cables. i hid the cables behind the hdd rack |

The 912 casing that we gonna get is with window ! The window design itself is not very nice ! Other like interior black, fan filter , hdd Easy slot in ans out and usb3.0 is quite a plus ! The pricing Also a plus as it is slightly cheaper than 922! Anyone know the release date for 912 case in Malaysia? Or anyone had already brought it from online ? I wish I could get. A 912 advance without window version |

Hey guys, TTV3 or Xigmatek Asgard in terms of thermal performance? I'm favouring Asgard because of cable management and pci clips. Am I making the right decision?

Hi guys, thinking of getting a mid tower. Either HAF 922, cm 690 2 advanced(cool hard disk dock but dont think ill be using it alot) or thermaltake element S. which one has better airflow? from what i have checked in reviews HAF 922 has best airflow among all three? but have no dust filters..anywhere I can get dust filters for all the intake fans? for the haf 922, for the one with the transparent side window, can i install a fan there? just want to ask also, will a bigger fan take in more air into the casing?
or any other recommendations for other casings? am looking for a case which has the external esata port, external usb 3.0 (optional but would love it if the case has it), dust filters for all the intake fans which are easily removable and a transparent side window where a side fan can be put. Am looking at the specs below. Will the 3 casings above fit all these? CORE I5 760 ASUS P7P55D-E LX P55 A-D3 SGLRF CORSAIR PC1333 gaming ASUS GTX460 TOP 1GB D5 / GTX465 DVD-RW 24X SATA CORSAIR 650W TX Thank you for the recommendations sifus here!

I am going to buy a new casing, HAF X, sometime at the end of this year. However I do notice that the intake part for the PSU does not have any dust filter (based on some reviews I read and user feedback) unlike some other cases e.g: Corsair 600T. I am very concerned about dust, so my questions are:
1. Will I be able to install a dust filter without any modding? If it is possible can someone guide/link me to where I could buy said item? 2. Or is it OK for me to leave it like that? Won't the PSU be damaged since it could collect a lot of dust in there? ATM I am using USP100 and the interior is somewhat dusty considering it is less than 1 month old. I don't even know how it could accumulate that much dust in 2 weeks time. It really feels like living in the middle of desert where sand is everywhere and rushing to get into my casing, or someone purposely threw a bag of dust in there. EDIT: 3. With all the fans, do I need to upgrade my PSU? Currently using i5 and 5770 and probably going to upgrade to 6870. Sounds like a stupid question but I'm really new to this kind of thing.

My budget is tight so my options are either TT v3 or CM 430 which I heard have a nice air flow but bad cable management. But the problem is I heard lots of people talking the top fan can't fit because of the cpu cooler. I'm using hyper 212 atm. So any recommendation for <150rm case?

but the selling price for the shop tat providing warranty is not attractive.
so i wanna make sure whether local distributor is giving any warranty or not. if distri do provide warranty then i will juz get the cheapest, if anything happen then i will straight away look for distributor instead. so the warranty only covers buttons, fans, IO port and cables rite? they didnt cover for metal chasis rite? |

Hello guys. Need your opinions.
I want to buy a full tower casing. Currently using CM690 II Advance. I've read reviews on NZXT Phantom. To bad the side 200mm fan cannot be installed because I'm using Noctua NH-D14. Got any suggestions for which full tower casing have good air flow? Prefer more to artistic gaming casing and my rig would be using only air cooling. Thanks. |

To all experts, i heard you need a special mounting kit for the ceiling fan. Normal screws will do the job? Anyway to put more fans in it?

AFAIK there's no special mounting kit for ceiling fan. can use normal screws or if want to reduce vibration can use rubber screws.QUOTE(ketapang @ May 2 2011, 09:04 AM) Any1 can recommend budget casing with good cable management? let's say my budget rm200. if add a bit for better casing then no prob. add a bit you could get either xigmatek utgard, cm690 or cm690II basic. these have decent cable management IMHO. |

QUOTE(wansirpunk @ May 2 2011, 02:52 PM) XIGMATEK UTGARD im using xigmatek utgard, just having problem with the hdd rack, quite difficult to take out, and the fans controller panel going damn hot after a while of using, so i refuse to use it, but it can control up to 6 fans in 2 channel. After than this the design is so cool, orange theme, it comes with 3 orange led fans, still luv it.CM STORM SCOUT Between this two, which one is better buy? the price almost the same and i like both of the design... |

midtowers are midtower size. if you want big case, haf 932 is just over rm400. i have worked with the case a few times. it is huge and cable management is easy.
best midtower in my opinion would be cm690 II. |

i don't think cosmos is a low profile case. i don't think any full tower is low profile. with RM850 you can get lian li pc-A77.
cosmos is ok for a full tower, but too much plastic for me. can also consider corsair mid tower 650D. coming soon locally. |

I think I'll have CM HAF 932.
Cheaper, larger & seems better cooling capacity. I like the huge side fan for my crossfire cooling. |

hi, which casing has the best bang for the buck? Planning to do Air-cooling only, budget maybe around RM350... prefer to have those come with dust filters.

Cm 690 II plus/advance is good for that price range. Hit google up and find reviews on it.
