yeah, like what uncle done to his ultimate sponsored casing.very2 nice!!!!

a few month back there's some forum discussing regarding this aurora casing (forgot the name's of the forum ).most of the user not satisfy with the casing for same reason: bad thermal dissipation and airflow is not good at all....

doing it on your own is more challenging actually... as for me, i like to improve my cable management skill. at the end, u will be satisfied with ur work.
and moreover, there will be something u can proud of with something in ur casing. don't just manage to buy those highend hardware only...

maybe V300???

haha...i mean the V600...
but dont like the position of the PSU...really annoying if u wanna put tower cooler inside..

yeah. A05. been collecting money, still not enough la...
(the money always vanished from my sight...and goes to my gf sight... )

too cheap?? then try soldam....

u can even fit in 8800gtx SLI inside this casing. so no worry about insufficient space...

yeah, its depends on the HDD setup. coz last time i browse through pics at hardforum, there are one forumer fitting 8800gtx SLi inside this casing. but forgot to look at the HDD lo....

yeah, it wont be smooth to work in it. have to re-assemble the gc b4 do any other things...
about the 6-pin pcie connector, the GTX's located at the side of the gc, so no prob there....

A07 also got prob with its intake. 007 intake is better than A07. no restriction, the cool air is free to get inside the casing...

just go grab pc007. no need to think anymore...

between smilodon and cm690, cm is better. good airflow, can accomodate many 120mm fans. just the turn down is its sidepanel...

anyway, cm690 is still good..

with rm200-350, hard to find a good full tower casing. u may try midtower casing which IMHO not bad too..
with ur budget, maybe u can try too look at cm690, lian-li PCA07, Pc007, smilodon, etc2...
but if u ask me, i'll grab either pc007B or PcA05B...

shuttle pc?? or xq-box??

yup, they are lian-li's....

anyway, mine not full tower la, it is super midtower. only slightly higher than normal mid-tower..

with rm1K, there are a lot of casing with good airflow u can choose. try to look around threads here as u can see many casing with good airflow within ur budget...

edit: with rm1000, u may want to look for branded and highend casing. Cm690 not suitable la for ur "nice" budget.
may try to look for:

stacker 830/32
Lian-li's
Silverstone TJ-09/10

or any other highend casing. of course with good airflow.
actually not all expensive casing got good airflow. some of them are good for watercooling setup, while some are better with air-cooling.
have to do some research 1st b4 buying...
