QUOTE(Par@dox @ Feb 5 2006, 11:44 PM) Was out hunting for a casing for my bro's rig the other day.. His budget was around RM150-250.. and one of his choices was the Atrix.. However, when we looked closely at the paintjob of the black one.. noticed that "rusty" dots seemed to have developed on the surface.. this problem was apparent on units in several other shops.. The paintjob doesn't look like it would last.. In the end, settled for an Enlight 4108.. not flashy.. but elegant looking.. got it for RM175.. came up with a 300w PSU.. Installation was a breeze.. quality of the innards was pretty good and plenty of space.. Those r not "rusty" dots on the paint lar. The paint texture is lidat 1. BUT I found out 1 thing from modding an Atrix case. The metal they use is terrible. Extremely soft type of metal that I've never seen on any other cases. It bends so easily it's like melted plastic. Terrible, terrible quality.  Another thing is the toolless design like bOoEsT mentioned. Very flimsy. |

PC Depot is really a problematic place, IMHO, try getting ur C5's from Gadget Zone or Swisspac, good price about Rm270 with Side Panel and PSU if Im not mistaken

C5 is a good case, I should say the airflow is one of the best however I would have prefered if they have used 120mm fan as the intake compared to 80mm where I would need a really high rpm 80mm fan to push enough air into the case which resulted a noisy cpu Also notice there's no hole for you to push your unused PSU cable to the back of the mobo, a hole have to be cut opened in order to push the cables back. +_+"" |

@incinerate
do not expect too much....you are already paying a cheap price for such a well built and sleek casing.

I modded the intake from 80mm to 120mm for my fren's C5. Now the airflow shuang shuang no nid filter coz the casing meshed up so nice edi. I still like having one C5 if i have the chance later.

I still reckon that the Centurion5 is the best low-end case a person can afford. Good built, nice designs, quite spacious, what more can a person ask.

i bought atrix for RM 165 in PC Fair...after adding side panel... the processor and the mobo risen up to 49 C... the HDD rise up to 44C coz no front air intake... considering dis prob...sell dis atrix for rm 130...  change to CM AMMO 533...same as heavy as atrix but good airflow  |
