Those of you with PC007's Would you guys happen to know if a single 8800GTx would Fit in one?

It would certainly fit if the GTX is located at the top 3 slots.

It could fit just be careful with where u secure the HDD.. .

Beside it's all about the layout of the PCI-E slot on ur mobo against the Hdd Cage,,,

That also depend the heat level of the gc used ... if the case fit with extra hot producing gc ... a side patent fan is a big help that doesn't cost anything for 5 degrees straight out from the box ..

of course for aesthetic look it would be better without the side fan ,,,,

still prefer to buy a whole transparent side panel & ask modders to mod it --> blow a 120mm fan hole on the acrylic, nicer & i still able to see my hardware (if i don't use a non-transparent side case fan like aluminum fan biggrin.gif )

but the modding is in da process la, not straight out the box smile.gif

I would prefer to have side fan attached to the case rather the side panel ...

coz the fan cable have to be removed each time removing the side panel. ...

just my cents .. .. .

if fan attached to the side panel, it would be troublesome when wanna open it..and need to be careful with the fan's cable..

the trick to this is to make a long fan cable biggrin.gif
make it long enough so that when u open ur side panel u can disattach the 3-pin cable easily, if it's too short then it would be a problem la

bro....a good 500w power supply oso would cost u around 300+. not much left for ur case...

i suggest getting a the silverstone strider 560W power supply for RM350.

then just use whatever casing u have now and save up for a new case.

just get a decent psu (i.e silverstone strider 560W for RM350)..
and then top up a little bit, after that ask for transparent side panel mod from uncle smile.gif

hmmm both case might get into problem when fitting with 8800GTX due to the extended length of the card....

So it would be recommended to grab Lian Li PC A-16 .. the Hdd cage is relocatable .. so it won't block the gc ,,,

but one could just ask ATE staff to try a test fit of the case with the graphic for better view before decide to purchase the case or not..

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..

those interested with fancy/contra color, Soldam is a good choice, for people like who likes sleek, black/white/silver... Lian Li icon_idea.gif

Soldam is one of aluminium (or aluminum?) casing... too bad, it's very rare...
