Really!!!!?? That's odd. My friend is using the normal Aurora and the airflow is fine. I thought the internal for both Auroras is similar.

This case is priced at RM499 in All IT and also ATE. It was priced at RM699 during last year's PC fair. I guess this case is not selling and most of the shops are clearing stocks.

I had a chance to "molest" this case during my trip to All IT. The internal construction is quite solid (thick aluminum), but the exterior is mostly made out of plastic. One can easily get a full aluminum lian li case at much lower price.

Only 110 units in the market? you sure about that?

Anyway, design is kinda cool if you ask me, but too much plastic turns me off.

I think if you want the design, raidmax ninja is not a bad choice and in addition it is much cheaper than the Asus case, although the Ninja is made of SECC and not aluminum.

Vento is way overprice. If it is cheaper (RM300), then i would recommend it to people.

Get Shuttle XPC, smaller but more expensive.

This is a piece of crazy casing man. Awesome art work.

If you wanna pop in a high end graphic card into your new rig, i would advise against Shuttle. I have a shuttle and the temperature is really bad, even with mid range graphic card like 7600GT and a stronger cooling fan for the CPU.

I own a Tsunami Dream. I advise against buying this casing, as the internal is really out of date. You should try Lian Li.

I love the exterior design, but internal is seriously bad. Cable management for this casing can be quite challenging.
Anyway, would like to own a Lian Li v600

Forgot to mention, the cooling for this casing is superb, especially if you convert the top USB panel into fan blow hole.

Can do like what Uncle did in one of his worklog.

Question:
Between CM690 and TJ04, which one should i take?
Both also SECC case, but CM690 has better internal design while TJ04 is more modable and and has a nice aluminum bezel.
Headache

I know, just wanna see what are the opinions of the majority forumers

Actually, what you said is true. TJ04 has nothing special to shout about except the fact that the front bezel is carved out by diamond cutter (not sure though)
And 690 has superior airflow and better cable management, not to forget it's cheaper too.
Think i'll go for CM690 then. Thanks for your opinion.

i think is RM200 plus.
TJ04 has better build quality, but it's an old design.

It's that your rig??

But the cooling is superb with such a big fan.

I think you better get a small ATX size casing eg Lian Li PC-05. Cooling is definitely good, and more room for expansion.

Other options:
CS238 FULL ALUMINIUM HTPC CHASSIS Link
Can fit 4 hdd (5 if you can find the converter), also the cooling is superb, as well as the built quality (4mm thick aluminum)

There are hardly any MATX casing which suits your need. I think your best bet is the casing i recommended above.

He's very busy with his work right now. You guys must understand that he's not a full time modder. He does have his own proper job.

Lian li is the real enthusiat's choice. Go for Lian Li.
