no problem wan la.....i got the microfly in Sim Lim and i drove thru the customs in Tuas (the new causeway).

PC hardware no tax one ler.....when i drove thru they just asked me to open the box and remove all contents... they check got nuttin and all kow tim.

even my GT PC-7 case oso i bought from singpore...brought back thru sepang airport...lagi syiok..they just asked whats in the box... i said PC case and they let me thru...didnt even check oso.

PC stuff in UK is expensive ler....

but one thing though...u can get the Akasa Eclipse-62 there. almost all online shops have it.

how i wish i could get one though...my closest to perfect case

gee.....now im wondering 2 things....

1/ When is ur Eclipse 62 coming back to KL with u??
2/ Best price how much ???

u have an 8800 with a CM Extreme Power 430W???

get the PSU first man...seriously

can get from ATE in LYP....the price is around +/- RM1k if im not mistaken.

the thing on the front panel is not a filter... its a sound dampener.

brand is Akasa model is Paxmate... aka Akasa Paxmate.

n u ask sniper on the roof oso no point ler... hes in taiwan

here i dunno where can get liao... mebbe rlhh might have some extra stocks left.

the G7 is out of stock if im not mistaken....been out of stock for quite awhile.

if i were u id pick up the PC-A07 like gmails case. similar to G7 only the front design different. internals look exactly the same to me. or can also get the 007 which i think has a better intake flow than the G7 or A07 due to the exra holes on the front.

the A05.....to me, it may look alright (just alright, dont really fancy it) but it has one of the most ridiculous thermal designs in a case ive seen.

reading that quickie from the old man just reminds me how imperfect lian lis are.

really dont understand why they make ALMOST perfect cases but never a perfect case.

haih

actually im kinda glad they put the A10 in that price range..

i wouldnt say its affordable, but the price is still considered not that bad.. especially since its still below the 4digit mark.

its a damn good case with hell of alot of potential. get it to BTX style and fuiyoh! i just wished they made a version without a door

and yeah...the HDD cage IS stupid. but i can understand why though...utilizing the space. at least can still fit somemore HDDs instead of just the horizontal cage. i think if they push the wall back to make the 2nd cage horizontal, they have no space for the PSU(s) cables to roam around down there.

other than all the holes and the LED jotting out...its not bad.

@sniper69
since u have the case, i was wondering do u think its possible to mod the case to BTX style? easy or not?

Added on August 28, 2007, 1:24 pmabout the vertical drive bay, one thing im sure of...its bad for airflow. if there are HDDs in those cages confirm the HDDs will be blocking airflow from the front fan to the PSU

@sniper on the roof
i think it makes good business sense to make minute differences in the same price range. itll tailor to alot of people's taste.... basically something for everybody. but thats interms of sales la...in terms of manufacturing costs, me dunno.

if making the A10 involes just drilling out the rails and riveting it to the other side, then i guess it aint THAT hard like the TJ09 (i remember uglyvamp doing it on the TJ09 and he said it was hell)

all i need to do is just throw the case to ianho (or bombman if i was in penang) and im sure it can be done with precision.

IF i decide to buy the case, the only problem i can see now, is buying the case itself....i have to go through TWO financial controllers that and also the door is a real turn off for me.

but one thing though.... if i get the case, ill turn it to BTX style and the top fan will be turned into top exhaust blowhole). and together with that side patent cooling kit...itll be superb to exhaust all the hot air from my 2x8800s. the SLI bridge area is friggin hot. just put ur hand in that area and u can feel how hot the air is there without even touching anything.

also the top 3 5.25" bays will be used to fit a 120mm intake fan to supply the GC fans with cool air....aaaaahhh...this would be real good for cooling them 8800s

and i think ur refering to sniper about making the case longer. i think the dimensions of the case is just fine for me.

@sniper69
can the door be mounted the other way?? i mean at stock it opens to the left right? can it be mounted to open to the right?

OI! OI!! CURI IDEA!!! ROYALTY MUST PAY!!!

actually not too worried about the LEDs and the lock hole. i dont really look at them anyway

one more thing that just occured to me... by doing the BTX style mod, the HDD cage no need to mod like u did sniper69. automatically the hdd cables will be on the hidden side

ive never been a fan of any case that has a door. transparent or not.

find it leceh to xs the roms. worst if u wanna turn on the PC. have to open the door if theres a power button ON the door or outside of the door then not so bad la...can still accept ...alittle bit.

but thats just me being anal

so the BTX Style mod IS possible for the A10 eh? interesting....

sniper69....watcha waiting for man??

now i wish my wallet was thick enough to have picked up the A10 during the offer

Added on August 29, 2007, 1:48 amsupernb build quality yes....

but like u said...almost perfect... ALMOST being the key word

TJ07:
rear 90mm fans??
and that mesh HDD cage....

TJ09:
superb cooling but DUST!!!
ive been eyeing the case for so long...read so many reviews...look at all the pictures...but i just cant think of a way to filter out the dust in a way itll be easy to clean. especially since i have to clean off my dust filter every 3-4 days. even 7 days the thing will be clogged

one of the closest to perfect case ive found would be the Chenbro Gaming Bomb II but even then it has its flaws that just cant be overlooked...like the weird mobo standoff...

but i think the one that comes closed to perfect is the A10 with BTX style mod. and some other mods that i have in mind as well...but of course still have flaws like the door....

sheesh!!! i really need to stop being anal

eh??? if ur talking about me grabbing snipers A10....no thanks...its silver lucky this forum doesnt have the puke emoticon....no offence yah sniper69 lol

wat rear fan u using?? not noisy ah??? somehow i cant stand anything below 12cm man..even my top 8cm blowhole oso (CM silent) i run it at 7v

the higher the voltage the the faster the fan speed the louder the noise...

the lower the voltage the lower the fan speed the lower the noise...

fan cables typically got 2... + & -... theres theres also the RPM la...but thats a different thing...not involved...

then ur typical molex got 4... yellow (12v) black (ground) x2 and red (5v)

for 12v: + into yellow and - into black.
for 5v: + into red and - into black.
for 7v: + into yellow and - into red.

in my room....it would be hell.....almost zero ventilation...dust accumulation is mad

id much rather pay for an a10 even if it costs more than this b25...

i guess for people who has shitloads of HDDs would find the case ideal...perhaps for a file server or something...other than that, i dont see a reason why that case should exist. its fugly and none of the features attract me...i also find none of the features actually useable. that case doesnt even come close to meeting my criterias for a case.

also, whats up with the removable mobo tray??? those kinda mobo trays are the most ridiculous ive seen. might as well make it NOT removable. a removable mobo ttray to me should be the kind that slides out the back...like the a10 and the tj09/07

actuallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy............... of all the sites ive gone to...review sites, manufacturer's site etc etc etc....

ive found that only lian li uses the term "slidable" mobo tray. no other sites uses the term "slidable". everywhere else is "removable"....for BOTH types of mobo trays...
