btw, i'm using elite 331 casing, and i plan to do sli soon. the problem is, 8800GT cards are quite long, and might be clashing with the hard disk cables. now to accomodate my current card i already have to move my 2 hdds to the 2nd and 3rd hdd bays. once i add in another gc it will be quite packed already. so what do you guys suggest? is it possible move my hdds up to the cdrom bays by getting the cm 4in3 module? or get a bigger casing straight away?

if need to change case then i'm thinking of cm590. any opinions?

have to see my budget how first le. besides the case probably i wanna add led fans, might be another rm100 extra. cm590 and cm690 is basically the same only rite? what are the differences?

for those using cm690, all the fans that you guys are using are connected to the mobo fan header and molex power? or you have a seperate fan controller to control?
true also, cm590 does look a bit too squarish..cm590 hdd bays are facing front while cm690 facing sideways rite? sideways easier for removal and cable management?
and yeah, i heard cm590 also doesnt have reset button.

rm20 difference? i just checked with someone at garage sales, the difference is more than that le.
lyp selling for how much?

lol..boring looks but pretty ok for budget users. i think the elite series has been selling quite well. see them coming up with quite a number of mdels for the elite line. i myself am using one too

why do you say it's a pain managing cables inside this casing? i thought the interior should be same like cm690? cm690 quite ok for cable management wat...hehe

elite series quite hard to do cable management, i'm also having some problems with my elite 331. the placement of the atx power connector on your motherboard makes it even harder. mine i just stuff everything at the back, behind the 5.25 drive bays. then i tie the cables to the drive bays to minimize cacings

maybe soon gonna wrap them with uv spiral wraps to make the cacings look nicer

i don't think the top is able to fit the 30cm ccfl. unless you put it slightly diagonally. coz got the drive bays blocking. i put mine one at the bottom, and another tied to the back of the 5.25 drive bay, which is slightly to the left of the motherboard position.

i use wires to tie my ccfl to the 5.25 drive bay. still quite visible for me though. hard to explain. will take some pics when i get back to hostel next week. the adhesive tape that comes with my ccfl is lousy, stick for some time then come out already. yeah the plastisine-like tact should do fine.

sooner or later you sure gonna peel it already. if not cannot see your ccfl and uv stuff clearly.. last time i also keep the protective sheet on, then later i peel it off. as long as you take care it wont get scratched

nope, normal ccfl and uv ccfl is different from each other. for uv effect get the uv ccfl. but it won't be as bright as the normal ccfl.

i would like to have a cmm690 too. but cm690 is bigger and heavier than elite casings. and now with my already heavy casing, i dunno how if i were to carry the cm690 back to my hometown every term break

i also have a 120mm fan at the optical bay there, i tie the sides of the fan to the bays using wires, so it won't move. i don't have much cables hidden inside my dirve bay, so it isn't really a problem for me

thank goodness i did not buy it. was planning to buy already
aluminium casings are much lighter right?

got any pics of cable management inside elite casing? then can curi some ideas from there

i like the smooth and shiny black kind of finish. damn classy
what's the cheapest lian-li with sidepanel? it's around rm300+ rite?

it'll be hell for me to carry such weight, even though i'm using the lan party casing bag. coz i move my pc back to hometown and back to my hostel again, every semester break

in ipoh i find that pc depot have good price, but for certain items only. i might be wrong, but i find that hardware prices here in ipoh can consider as killing le. sometimes buy from forummer + postage also might be cheaper

maybe you can go ask around first, who knows you can find a better deal.
if there's no other choice then i guess you can go for pcdepot. but RM290 is still quite expensive.

IMHO no need to get nvidia edition leh...just endorsement from the brand only. everything the same, just green transparent window and green lines around the casing only and for that you have to pay rm150 extra

sri computer, i never buy anything from them, unless i'm forced to. i don't like the staff there, the face like want to eat you only. ask them anything and they'll answer as if you're asking them to do something impossible like that. good luck then in nego-ing your cm690 at pcdepot.
