    Well I got to say after owning all the massive coolermaster cases ranging from the stacker 832 all the way to the Cosmos ll. I can officially say i have fallen in love with a smaller case.

    Going to start on Tuesday next week putting in Carbon fiber sheeting on the inside of the case and install my new motherboard and so forth. This is one nice little case. Will take pics of the case once I have the carbon fiber sheets inside.

    Will do just a small log.

    Think the only problem I will have with the sheeting is on the bottom of the case

    That's a lovely machine, I especially like how tidy it is and the black and white colours look awesome

    Ooh, watching with interest, Mark.

    I really like the look of that case, but I'm thinking it might be a bit noisy. What are your impressions?

    I don't find mine noisy and it's right next to my ear. That is having switched all the stock fans (including those on my H100i) to the quiet edition ones. I also use my Sabertooth's fan control function to keep things quieter at idle and then ramp stuff up when gaming etc.

    Dave honestly with these fans remembering the card fans which in total is 8 fans very very quiet. Compared to my Cosmos ll the times quieter.

    Awesome stuff there.

    There are very few cases that make me get the itch to stray from my Alienware, but this is one. I love cube cases I had one of the originals back in 1999.

    Thinking of taking the HDD holders off then at the bottom of the case putting carbon fiber sheeting right across as there is not really any air coming from the bottom of the case.
