CF-2029 Black Plexi Medium Tower

Just got this case for my XP2200+ noisemaker, cause I was running out place to put things

bought this fine looking Metal! (heavy) case.

the pics:







Pro:
- extreme nice finishing on the exterior of the case, the black is really very shiny and smooth
- thumbscrews
- 80mm casefan
- prefab holes for 120mm fan at the front + 2nd 80mm in the back
- 300Watt PSU
- good accessible CDrom drivebays + lots of room for hard disks
- blue ON light
- Sound / USB / Firewire connections @ the front of the case

Contra:
- no removable motherboard tray
- pretty heavy
- airflow with 1 casefan = pretty lousy


Before I installed the system , I had it laying on top of the motherboard's box, no fans expect the CPU fan spinning near it:

XP2200+@2010Mhz - 1.85v
CPU load temp: 41°C

I then installed it in the case
CPU load temp: 49°C

With the sidepanel removed
CPU load temp: 41°C



To have the sidepanel closed & still retain good temps I'll have to cut out a blowhole:
- in the sidepanel at the height of the CPU
- cut out 120mm blowhole in the front

for now It's running open and wide
cause the PC crashed as soon as the CPU temp passes 49.5°C

I hope those two bottles of wine came with the case, otherwise it's not worth your money. :p

Not my kind of taste, but looks pretty sturdy and has lot's of room for fans & drives. :o

6 HD's + 4 CDROM drives in a midi case = awesome

but looks don't matter over here, performance does :)

upping the vcore, max @ 1.92v

looks pretty cool (figuratively only)

like another remake of the ttgi/superflower case

but it does look like its got a lot of potential to go on, even if a bit pricey for a steel case
