Haven't tried Xtraflow yet , but if you have a V6GT you know thats an Xtraflow fan.

Sickleflow too noisy meh , i've used it after 3 months , 2 LED already died...

It's a Cosmo with 2KG Steroid...

From my observation , it's kinda like a Thermaltake armor and Corsair obsidian mixed up...

I don't think people move to Lan party with full tower case , the scout and sniper was perfect.


Meh... Looks like CM is making an effort to make all their new case , cable management friendly..

Looks like a plus... but really can't tell if it's an Advance as well since can't see the top part

Cooling is a bit restricted , you only have a 200mm front intake , and the outtake is only at the top 200mm/2X120mm and the I/O 120mm

Budget....?

IMHO , if you can top up a little more bit. you can get a CM690 II Advance which is around RM369.

But if your budget is fixed there , you can take the option for a HAF 912 Advance @ RM299.

I was refering to C-zones pricing FYI btw.

Theres a lot on both cases.


CM690 II Advance :


Pros
- Good cable management (spacings on the hole for cable to pass through is bigger)
- Water cooling friendly (Option for 2 X 240mm at the top and at the bottom of the HDD Cage)
- Option for 10 fans (Non window version btw)
- Hot swap HDD ! (Easy access to your HDD)

Cons
- No PSU Filter (Which is a bit of a letdown , but you could face the fan upwards but you sucked in hot air for the psu)
- Cpu retaining hole sometimes doesn't fit against some heatsink cooler
- Doesn't support for really long graphic card like the HD6990 or GTX590


CM HAF 912 Plus

Pros
- Really good air flow (Especially from the fron intake 200mm and 230mm at the top for exhaust)
- Good support for the longest graphic card (you need to remove the HDD Cage though for cable clearance)
- PSU Area has filter! (Good air for your filter!)
- You can change the orientation of the HDD! (For cable clearance problems)
- Support for new generation USB 3 for the front panel.

Cons
- Cable mangement spacing is a bit small(IMHO)
- not really watercool friendly (you can only put a 140mm rad at the top)

I've heard about the Elite 311 Plus , pretty basic cable management , but seems okay for a budget case.

If your not in a rush , sure.

Better go for 200mm , better air flow and more silent

Just connect your molex connecter that came with the power supply...

SATA is for the data connection , Molex is to power your hard drive.
Yes , you can use it.

Hyper212 + Xtraflow = V6GT already

Just add in a 120mm fan at the back as exhaust for the CPU area is already okay , and less noisy.

Haven't yet i think

Here's the budget V6

It looks like a floppy (?) connecter ? Lol?

mm.... weird ...

Is the fan connected to your motherboard or PSU?

Enforcer more LAN Friendly , got storm guard , and the ODD cover is really good.

Yup , you need to buy the 200mm separately , the ODD Cover , feels kinda plasticky , but can be assured that it's really tough plastic.

Really unknown for now...

Cause it really fits the budget case and little improvement could be made.
