Height & width no problem ... but depth?

Bosw8er · 12th May 2003, 22:32

As i've moved, my pc and desk is moved into a wardrobe closet/chest/furniture from IKEA. Yeah, yeah, ... very funny. I bet you don't have kids running around that will actually demolish everything in their path. And besides, i adjusted everything myself and it's actually a good workplace.
Problem is that the "free" depth of the closet is max 55cm. I now have a Chieftec of 47cm and it only fits sideways because i need about 10cm for the cords that stick out (for example: ati 8500dv + adapter + monitor connector).
I need a new case and i was looking for the "undeepest" case. After some looking around i found this absolutely breathtaking beauty. Only 42cm deep ! And just look at it: plenty of room, great looks (if you choose aquamarine), removeable mobo tray, stunning airflow, ... and all that for less then 100 EUR, 300W PSU incl. !

Might have to paint it ... a little.
Might have to make a blowhole ... small one ... here and there.
Might as well install a decent watercooling in it as i have soooo much space to play with.
Might take some time to finish.

Maybe you know some "undeep" cases as well and spare me some precious time

I think you overlooked the main issue here.

Dimensions: 18.7"(D)x7.87"(W)x24.61"(H) / 475mm(D)x200mm(W)x625mm(H)

Bosw8er how about the trade?

Bosw8er · 13th May 2003, 20:55

This thread is not about trading, it's about undeep cases

... Duron, where the hell are you ?

The chieftec is going to be used for my workbox, currently housed in a HX45.

... and that HX45 is going to house all the leftovers i have for yet another folder.

thanks for the response

if you are going to take the HQ/HX08 then be prepared for some dremel-action between the moterboard compartement and the 5"25 bays, as the default space is too narrow to allow ANY air to pass, even without the IDE cables
