Nemo Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 And now for something a little bit different OCC takes a look at the Microcool Banchetto 101 - http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/mi..._banchetto_101/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 I do not understand the price these things go for. Raidmax or some other cheapo brand REALLY needs to come out with one these for like $45... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 If the price was lower it would not be a bad case but man $260 ouch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulie111 Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Nice review, I have the 101 and totally love it, by far its bigest letdown is that stupid 92mm fan bracket. Broke one corner first time attached a fan to it by overtightening the screw. My 101 is now a 24/7 pc I like it that much, although it must be quite hot this time of year where you are as my p2 965 doesnt get anywhere near those temps with a zalman 10x extreme.

jlqrb Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Thanks! It is actually just that the particular 955 that was shipped to me runs excessively hot. I was going to RMA it, but I just didn't have the time and now I am stuck with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onion Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Nice case for our members with deep pockets, but I'd go for either one of the two other cases it was compared to in the review, they run a bit cooler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooling wasn't really an issue with the 890GX chipset, but once I got my X58 board on the 101, my NB cooked.

jlqrb Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 I don't care about fancy when benching, its all about the results. Check out my first "bench station." Magazines and as many fans as I could find. Nice! Did you finish the Sudoku book before you used it Hardnrg has you beat though with this setup! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulktreg Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Nice use of boxes instead of magazines, definately better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
