Nice looking case!
I got a Enermax case thats basically the same thing as well but with a Enermax powersupply included. Its black, and I happen to like the color of it much more than the charcoal grey looking antec cases. Also the paint seems to give the front cover some texture, making it look better than cheap plastic usually does.

Is the cheiftec blue case painted on the front, or is the plastic blue?

It's the first one of those 4. I'm really liking it now, finally got the entire room reorganised because of it heh.

Still gotta find USB hub... This motherboard has only 2 slots...

[Dragonbud]

No just a local shop in Finland. Pretty expensive one though, 222 euro's if I remember correctly.

Does the case cover draw enough air into the case? It seems like the slits in the front doesn't get a lot of air.

I only have 1 intake fan in it currently, it's on the side.
Planning to get couple Papst's in it. Maybe 3, 1 more to intake, 1 to HD and 1 to exhaust.

cool case dude.:D

Nice case, but its HUGE! :-P

I just bought an Antec SX830 Saturday and at compusa the price is $99.99 although I was able to get it for $85.00. The front is almost not there that is how much air it flows. My case has Three fans up front (optional) and two in the rear (comes with the case). It also has an Antec PP-303XP power supply that costs around $45.00 by itself and is ATX12V compliant. I got long winded but yes all those cases flow beautifully threw the front bezel.

[crazyman]

yup! jetmech is right,I have the sx840 and it has killer air flow,and this one has the antec 400 w ps.
and here are the 5 cooling fans it has.

You are correct!

Cheiftec does not make their own PSU.

That is why Antec & Enermax are much more expensive!

Same box, just an awsome PSU!

Crazyman - Can you measure for me the inside bottom of the case to the bottom side of the hard drive mount. I want to make sure i have clearance for my H2O setup.
