This is the mATX version..

hmm.. nice designs...

i wondering how would it be priced? along lian-li's pricing range?

Dood...it's a Soldam.

Comparing Soldam and Lian Li are like comparing a Bugatti Veyron and a 3 series coupe respectively.

the design give me some idea in my mod..

the thing is this... the item IS $$$$ the shipping can buy a lian li liaoz hahahahaha

this baby is about S$500+ total ridiculous ...

whaa cool..can i kn ow who much the price is iz?

lol lots of fans for a micro ATX But still there are rooms for everything that anyone might need, good design indeed.

As for pricing, I normally don't bother to ask lol Even if I have the money, I rather get an Athlon FX CPU than spending on this

Well...some ppl like 1000hp skylines while some ppl like Bentley GT's.

To each their own..

This chasis is more suited towards an older audience...paired with a pentium-m or core duo.

lol i thought it's 56G.. open up the thread realized me it's a warn for 56k dial-up user..

How much ?

Same here, i thought the casing was RM56,000 just to realize that its a warning for 56k

IMO, this casing looks plain and normal from the outside. I prefer something more "fanciful"

Here you go...

Ppl already say Singapore Dollar $500

the concept of this casing is amazing.. 2 layer Alu panel to channel air tot he correct location AND for sound dampening.. I am looking into a Core Duo system with a mATX mb and wacking the drive bays with 500GBs HDs and replace my Full tower Lian Li..

but now i see presler i also itchy liaoz... looking into getting Asus 975 Mb with presler 930

design so so, or it is the material that does matter? and its not even a tower casing

Design's not just about having a flashy look dood... the design of this chassis is much more interesting than the Antec P180.

Instead of taking airs from the front (noisy and ugly) like other casings or from the sides like the P180...this fella has 2 layers of side panel so it channels fresh air from behind to the intake fan in front.

This means no direct path for sound to travel and having double layer side panel means double the sound insulation (something like double glazing window)

That's the interesting part.

why come to Case Mod forum? this items is casing but not modding lah..
modding this will be too painful.

The design of this casing.. please do "study" it a bit more. very interesting one as SOTR has pointed out. What I do not understand is why leave the space between the PSU and Optical drive un-used

their older casing they had 3 x HDs pay installed.. which iwas way cool. But cooling them means more fans.

cool casing... looks are ok but the build is nice... too bad i cut my acrylic d arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Yeah I've also been thinking that the main forum Casing Modification is just not right. Not all topics are modding stuffs. Maybe can change the name to Chassis/Case/Enclosures, just to name a few.

Actually I think ur right.... how about Case & Mods?

just remain in HW lor...
it IS a HW... so i post there initially

If it was a case mod I would have posted it here

anyway, I give to soldam to come up with such

nice case... but too pricy > <

Aiyar...space limitation mar...so throw all casing related stuff here lor.

The design is damn interesting lar..if it works...this one you have to report later ler.

On the downside, its not very space efficient hence the rather cramp interior and the minimalist approach...only 2 x 5" bays which is really enough except for the 5" bay bling bling crowd and lotsa HDD bays.

the way the hdd is stacked up...possible to make a mini server?

in terms of airflow wise, should be alright..with all the fans...agree? wont overheat right with that cramped interior..

well it is after all a mATX Casing...
I believe 5.25" bays too many also messy. but it is a design preference i believe for this designer.

IF you look into the URL I posted you will find that THEY have a Test report on this system cooling.. knowing Japanese helps

but google is always very friendly


That is my objective... 2TB in this mATX rig fit for a HTPC and Leech machine for a LanParty

ooo...hehe....can see the electirc bill going up when you switch that thing on..hehe...5 hdd..imagine.. hahaha

bill go up also not that much la. me using 7 HD but separate PSU. will cost a bit more in electric bill. but not till sky rocket.

anyway nice casing, but lousy air flow. the cramp environment, the IDE cables and all the other power cables will intefere with the flow of air. not to mention the noisy fan since they need to push the air harder.

it is indeed the sexiest casing for PC...

but the sleekiest design goes to G5... even after nearly 3 yrs, it's still an eye catcher...

the air-flow for G5 was also quite ingenius i may say. but it's not designed for PC...

so, should i assume that this casing is made-in-japan by the writings in the ad?

but this one has to use mATX mobo, normal 1 cant fit

On the contrary...if you look at it properly....I think this is gonna be one of the quietest casing around. They really paid a lot of considerations into the airflow and accoustic. It's much more complicated than the average case but damn its cool.

These japs are nuts!!

Nice design, but my hardware will not fit into it

There is a Alcadia X1 (Super Mid Tower) and X2 (Standard Mid Tower) for ATX form factor

Yeah "Case and Mods" sounds good. It's more general than "Casing Modification".

i'm the designer lor..wiNdy mah

your wind is different ........CHEE "Wind" hahahahahaha

its design is very interestng and i think quality of the casing is good. no wonder the price is >.< . Hope tat design one casing for normal one de.

normal as in for ATX? which they already do...
the ATX ones are Alcadia X1 and X2


OR

Normal as in same design but not alu... using steel and cheaper materials?

500SGD!? Freaking expensive casing. But quality casing i must say.

design is good, but only one setback from what I can see, lack of 5.25 drive bays, only 2??? definitelt not enough for those ppl with a lot of optical drives

How many optical drives does one needs?

Got the mid tower...of course more ex lor.

If you say it that way.. then everyone will NEED to buy a CM Stacker already
right?

somebody called me???
