I know that from ur watercooling thread post...

So the thing is u want a ready made wc case or u want to mod it urself ..

Aurora has average airflow ... just slightly suffered at the HDD zone. .

If not mistaken it depend on where u buy the case, some shops sells it with transparent side panel.

You could probably ask few shops to clarify.

Anyway I deal with Elite series before and it comes with side window ..

but there's another version that doesn't as well ..

how do u specify cheap is dude ??

Join me with LL PC-A16 lah.. .

It's about RM478 or RM487 .... at ATE ,,,

It's a nice one that comes with water cooling pass through holes at the rear side ..

but mounting it is as challenging as mounting it on any other case ...

Make sure u get radiator that align with the case hole as close as possible ..

btw ... I don't like the noise generated by the HDD cage because of the design of rom slots that got tons of holes..

so be aware, it would be slightly noisy but not too bad .. . However I can't really take it ..coz I'm hyper sensitive to noise .. most people should be able to live with it....

Yah ...it comes with EX-33 but it doesn't accumulate too much of dust because there's a filter although I removed it .. coz my room isn't dusty ..

It's the slight noise produced by the cage that bothered me gao gao ..

This case is a cheaper bargain compared to B25 that might hit the retail at RM700 .....

Nope .. only EX-33 comes with the dust filer ... the rom cover got no dust filter but those won't accumulate dust in the holes coz the holes are very thin ...

wash it with water and it would be like brand new...

the noise is only very slight about 32dba from my experience which SS fan definitely goes beyond that ....

for me ... anything about 27dba consider noisy already ...

No problem my friend ... happy modding and enjoy it gao gao ..

I'm still looking to get 3870 and probably revert back to air cooling if that babe is really cool as itself ... still too much of consideration .. arrr !!

use a HDD that produced less noise .. I have good experience with Samsung Spin Point series ..

then add cushion pad to the side of the HDD before mount it to the cage ...

that would do a bit more in absorbing the noise ..

If u can find one at the price u have given .. .

I think all others case manufacturer could close down business...

hahah .. joke joke bro ...

Really with that budget there's nothing fall under the lightweight category..

Compensate between budget and requirement my friend ,,,

get the best bang out of look and functionality ..

Watch out .. .some one gonna get flamed .. .

Anyway Zangetsu, u gonna build a water cooling with this full tower babe ???

If u are then it would be really cool ...

Then it's personal preference issue ..

Every case has its own up and down side .........

it's up to your need to judge which one is more suitable ....

remember even a near perfect case could be ruined by single issue that doesn't meet the need...

so keep the thought open as both are great cases in their own way ,,,,,

mod the case or get TT case that with RaptorX HDD cage ...

there are many cases out there ..

the best would be start visiting manufacturer website and check it out ..

after that only look into price ...

coz 'looks nice' is a very subjective criteria to determine which case to recommend. Everyone has their own taste ....

ohh .yah .... forgotten about it ..

Gigabyte and Cooler Master has offer around Rm250 with ur requirement of window ..

others usually a bit more expensive with window...

whahah .. cheapest amplifier design .... hmmm

I don't think got any candidate apart from Silverstone and Lian Li .. .

Silverstone would have better design but cost quite some money ...

Soldam case ....

Just got to their official site and do the conversion ...

They list out the price pretty clear .. .as long as u see their currency sign with lots of ,000....

that's the cost .... do some exchange rate conversion .. there u go ..

must be gao gao modding his GT40 since he said he pretty much got all the goodies he need...

or

he is working on another project secretly ...

few people asked this question but no one has answer for it ....

really need lots of luck for it ...
