    had a bit of a rage on with my PC this morning, wanted to install 3 new fans (2 were replacements 1 was new) first one i had to take off the side panel, front panel and take out all the hard dives to fit, second the rear i had to twist out the frame to fit (despite having the holes drilled for a 120mm fan) and third the holes were about 3mm out of alignment.

    so anyway in a rage i went and bought a new one Xclio Windtunnel (http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Xcli...ck-Tower-case-with-2-x-25cm-Side-Fans-w-o-PSU)

    took everything out of my old case and fitted it into this, finished and thought i must have forgotten something cos it was way to easy. done in about 30-45 minutes. the noise level....well there is none i cant hear it right now. the cooling has my internal temps at 20'C on load.

    i cannot say how impressed i am with it :) and for £40 on the high street. das goo shi

    Not at all :p Its been around for awhile I think, I've seen it a couple of times. They also do this and this (the second one has a 36cm fan!!!)

    Was always curious about them. Whats the case like? Build quility? Design? Can you take some more pics of it?

    wow that case with the uber fan (36cm) is only £25 here.

    Just looking at the side with the 1million mm fans, is that a solid part of the case that you can lift it up from, or do you have to cleverly choose places to put your fingers so you don't break the case when you move it?
