  1. The only AZZA chassis I ever had was the Genesis; while I really like the inverted option, I felt the overall quality to a bit on the low side - especially for the cash spent. But as you say; onward...the only reason manufacturers include molex only fans is because they're cheap (the fans, well okay maybe the manufacturer too). That doesn't pass with me; not in this day and age when 3 pin fans are quite inexpensive, may as well not include fans at all IMO.

  3. Well; Mother's Day is coming up, it'll be the 1st time that I can't wish Mum " Happy Mother's Day"...indeed a sad time time this year

  4. Current setup as described in "Album Description", will add more pics as I get things torn down and start rebuilding ( for the 5th? ) time.

    My 700D

    I tried my 1st attempt at water cooling my CPU in April of 2011; since then I have been bitten (rather badly) by the water bug that resides in many of us. Currently; I have my AMD Phenom II cooled with an XSPC Raystorm waterblock, and 3 Triebwerk fans in a "pull configuration. Shortly; I'll be changing out my XSPC bay reservoir for an EKWB tube reservoir, and (hopefully), installing the Triebwerk fans internally...pics to follow. Brechan
  6. I have to agree with the reviewer; to say that this case lacks originality and function, is an understatement. I was quite disappointed to see that for a case of this price (and size); you still had "knock-outs" for the front 5.25 inch bays , heck even the Siverstone Raven (@ $ 195 US), has regular front bezels...no having to permanently remove the metal bezels. If I'm paying $200 + for a PC case (especially to water cool in), it better be ready "out-of-the-box" for whatever I want to throw inside. Also; I'm not impressed with having almost the entire left side occupied with fan mounts, it would be near impossible (without much modding) to have a clear view of your components/ water cooling loop...pretty much all of us that water cool our rigs, want to be able to show off the innards. Sorry people; I'll save some cash, stick with my 700D for now, and look elsewhere for something better....perhaps the NZXT Switch 810 (a mere $40 less) , and a lot more potential for water cooling your components NZXT Switch 810
  7. I totally agree with BluePanda, though I've only had a couple of so-called "full towers". Currently I own the corsair 700D (with a few modifications to allow better airflow for water cooling); I have found the airflow within the case worse than my (much) cheaper Zalman GS1000, I'm about ready to swap out my (6) Cooler Master r4's for 3 Triebwerk fans. I'd give both cases back in a heartbeat for a Cooler Master HAF-X anytime. Curent Rig:
