What's wrong with m-ATX? I think it's a great form factor. Not everybody need big towers for extreme overclocking, water cooling etc and I'm sure 95% of the population won't have more than 2 expansion card.

I dont mean M-ATX is bad. It is good in some ways but for me, i rather get those ATX form factor. As for one, i have more than 1 PCI card which makes me kinda hard to choose MATX..Anyway, as i said, if i am going to setup those HTPC, i am surely going to get those MATX form factor..

Not sure about the GTX but my 8800GTS fit in without any problem at all. Still plenty of space left..

i found one Soldam Casing in the Garage Sale Section...

Model = Soldam XR3
Cost = RM1350 rclxub.gif

better i upgrade my graphic card or SLIing biggrin.gif

LOL..I think those are the high end ones..I was wondering is there any budgeted one. Love the color combination in Soldam casing..

Anyway, i have seen from their website, converted the price and its roughly around RM700. Problem is taking it back from there, tax etc...Besides, i dont have that much to spend on a casing. Anywhere around RM500 would be the MAX if i would really want to spend it..

hye guys, im quite new here.. im considering on buying a new case, done sum surveing n im considering for either..

CM Elite 331 or
Centurion 5 Aluminum Front Midtower (White) or
Centurion 5 Aluminum Front Midtower with Sidepanel

which one is better it terms of its air flow, sounds dampening, size n weight? considering it large enough for multiple GPUs?  smile.gif

I would agree with Doom that you could top up more and get the LL casing. Very nice indeed. But if you could not do it, the i would take Centurion 5 Aluminum Front Midtower with Sidepanel .

The reason :

Having a side panel would give you the ability to show off your internals tongue.gif and might even save some cost even if you do not need the panel now. In the future, you might decide to get a panel which might cost alot..

White for C5 is indeed nice. But, dust is a MAJOR problem for C5 due to the mesh front of the casing. With it being white, it will be very noticeable and might get dirty easily.

About the C5, you can get them in plenty of shops in LYP. LL is at ATE.

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

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....

Wondering here Doom, the A16 comes with the EX-33?

Given that it has so many holes, will it cause dust accumulation? Interested with this case as well as the B25 though..LOL..

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 .....

Yea, thats one thing i am worried about the B25. The price point is going to be huge and at that price, i will have more choice than that..

Anyway, regarding the A16, does this mean all of the holes there will have a layer of filter? My room is filled with dust seriously. I was worried that the cleaning job might be hard with so many holes around like what happened to my old, trusty CM C5..Cleaning those "filters" are crazy. cry.gif

Regarding the noise, is it easily noticeable or i would need to put hard concerntration to hear it? I am not too worried as my SS fans are going to be crazy noisy by that time.. tongue.gif
