QUOTE(diaBoliQu3 @ Feb 4 2013, 06:39 PM) Don't poison me wo... Haha... Shinobi XL is really good at this price point  For nzxt switch 810 it cost almost RM600 if not mistaken. You can search around in the worklog name Balrog project, he's using nzxt switch 810 for his build  |

QUOTE(zhihao4456 @ Feb 8 2013, 05:46 PM) budget <500~ for a small case that fits my current rig I dun think will be more than that tough... Any recommendations? Silverstone SG09 RM389Fit the GTX550 Ti [9.05 " x 5.12 " Inch], comes with 2x USB3.0 port at front I/O, fit ATX PSU. However, only slim optical drive can fit in this casing. Official Link Some add-on: Cooler Master HAF XB is great and it can fit anything you have, but the casing is quite big  The price is cheaper than Silverstone too.

QUOTE(djlah @ Feb 22 2013, 10:44 AM) as I know, A.P.E.S have BitFenix casing only (correct me if I'm wrong). I was looking for various brand casing dealer for more choice (CM, SilverStone, etc). any other casing LYN dealers available here with modding service? Actually to ease the problem, you can just simply buy the casing you wanted and sent to them for modding. Even the dealers sell casing + modding service he will still charge u separately most of the time i think. |

QUOTE(unequalteck @ Feb 25 2013, 12:00 AM) i would choose 300R. Not sure if the 300R HDD cage can be removed cause i cant find the thumbscrews or screws on it 1. the shinobi window a little bit weird, position at the bottom and u can only look at ur PSU 2. 300R got removable HDD tray to support longer GPU 3. 300R got front intake fan for air flow, shinobi is consider as silent casing IMO  .Interior design 300R still looks betetr than shinobi IMO. |

QUOTE(kueckcinx @ Mar 12 2013, 03:44 PM) For my GPU that HAF 912 Advanced need remove HDD cage rite? So what should I do with the removed HDD Cage? (Currently have 2 HDD and 1 SSD) There's nothing much can do with a removed HDD cage. Just keep it I suppose.Else You may consider other cases that wont block your gpu. |

QUOTE(Cable707 @ Apr 1 2013, 04:03 PM) 900D already in the market,meh? 900D still a prototype in last CES. It somehow not amaze me because I don't see much improvement and it just go giant in size to enable more 480 rads to accommodate. Anyway,TJ11 seems interesting.. Silverstone TJ series famous of aluminum built quality, but the problem of finger touching it directly will leave stains. Again the cable management system still not as good as other brand, so might have a hard time to route and hide those cables . |

QUOTE(sw1314 @ Apr 10 2013, 08:11 PM) corsair 600t vs shinobi xl.. If you are more toward water cooling, shinobi xl will be better since more size of rads for mounting are available.which better? 600t white user here, you can only mount 240mm, 200m or 120m rad inside the case. Both casings are heavy, and do check the 600t twice before buying as the latches/fittings may not be that aligned properly. It wont be noticed unless u observe it near. |
