Here's (http://www.servercase.com/ImageFiles/SC01F.html) a link to some pictures if you don't know what I'm talking about.

I love this thing. It's HUGE, and it didn't cost that much either. Forty bucks for mine. I've seen this in one of the guides on the main page, but I was curious as to how many people on this forum use this case.

Hey what do you know. I thought I would just come and check out this thread and it turns out. I have it too. The side panels are extremely hard to get off though; so I put handles on them. It made me like the case so much more. I would suggest you guys do the same if you haven't already unless you don't have this problem.:)

Hehe. I guess if you had an aluminum case and >1000cfm of airflow you could make it hover, too :D

Wow, that thing must be like twice the height of my Lian Li PC31! It's a mini-tower, booyah! Very nice cases, though, I think I'll look into getting one for my self contained job...

No it dosen't move on it's own power just yet. I did add another 120mm fan though! I have the wheels, but the case was too tall to fit under my desk with the wheels attached. I also have small children so I put it up "out of reach" on top of the desk and up there the wheels don't really seem neccessary. I take it appart too aften also so this way I'm not having to lift it up, it's pretty darn heavy fully loaded!

Here's the new front.

A view of the front. It's changed a little, and I have the top back on it, but it's pretty much the same.

I used a wire mesh from the hardware store for my big fan four
grill. The mesh is used with stucco, is that what you used for your top two 80mm fan grills too?

O The stuff's called Gutter Guard. It's about 5 bucks fora 20-foot roll. It's used for keeping leaves and stuff out of rain gutters, and it makes excellent fan grills. Personally, I think it's more stylish than the standard metal grills like you have on your front 120's. :p

I usually call it chicken wire though. :D

I like the chrome front grills but the gutter guard sounds better than the stuff I am currently using. What is the gasket looking stuff around the grills?

O Car door molding. It's about 3 bucks for 54" at AutoZone. The stuff I got has a C-shaped cross section and you simply press it onto the edges of the hole. It takes a bit of work to get the ends to match up though.

Thanks! I'll look for some this weekend while I'm looking for some parts for a new waterblock idea I have.

See those little tabs at the bottom and top of the side. The ones that fit into the slots on the frame, then you slide it shut? Bend them out away from the side, and that thing will slide shut slicker than snot on a doorknob.

Well just looked at the pic and said by golly that's my case. Cept mines black now. Finishing up on my first mod ever and if I can figure out how the heck to post pics on here then I might put it up. Might be a while though. I'm somewhat of a perfectionist and I'm repainting one of my side panels because I can't get it just right. That and everytime I try to sand it with 2000 grit paper I still manage to hit a corner and take paint off. It does have alot of room in it but I still can't seem to get all the wires out of the way. I'm a little hesitant about rounding or stacking my cables but I've managed to move them pretty well. It's all the power cables that are in the way. That Enermax PS I got has a crap load of connectors.

Supercase's rule. There isn't a case out there that is anywhere near this good for the price. I mean, I picked mine up with wheels and a 300W PSU for $60!

You've seen it before, here it is again.
