Only thing I didn't like right away was the finned holes but I got used to them.
 
Are you the same guy that got banned at aoa for putting this all over the forums there? :rolleyes:

And you cant have any links in your sig here.
Only ones that are allowed that have to do with the forums (Seti, F@H, 3dmark team, etc) and you can have your heatware in yoru sig but thats it.
 
anyone got a pic of one of these with a HDD, CD-ROM and floppy? I'd like to see how tidy you can get it....Next time I can build a computer for someone i'm gonna show em, should look impressive!
 
If you are going to get a clear case get one made of lexan.

It weighs about as much as a steel case does but it doesnt scratch as easily as acrylic.
 
Did a water cool system with this case , not finished just adding things grills and such. www.teamgod.net/tgnwatercool.htm no problems as of yet with scratches I haven't really abused it. Although it seems pretty strong slip of a screwdriver and it showed no blemishes.
 
Thank you overclockers.com, once again I could not stop myself, and i had to order 200 bucks worth of new gear, and that wont stop there since i just ordered a new CLEAR case and case accessories, i have to order a new motherboard and cpu(switching to intel, cant stand AMD heat issues, especially with summer coming) man now i need new ram, lets see what newegg has:D what can i say, computers make me feel better about myself, heres what i got so far...

Any problems with EMI interference with the plastic cases???
Unless your listening to the radio or watching airbroadcast TV in the same room as the computer you shouldnt have anything to worry about from EMI.
 
My cooling was the same from my steel case to this case, I don't know how much lower it would get with an aluminum case, I usually go by my own experiences I figured this case would boost the temps somewhat but nothing at all. Plus i went back to air cooling.
 
you can find this same case for a buck cheaper at http://www.svc.com/clearaccasat.html .

I've been eyeing this for a long, long time..but I want to place a 120 mm fan in there. For those that have the case, is there room to either enlarge one of the holes to for a 120 mm fan..or can i just drill a new hole next to that top fan to place my 120mm fan and radiator? (from DTEK)

please..let me know
 
I've been eyeing the uv blue one from svc.com, but i can't get anyone to answer me if the acrylic is painted to be uv reactive or if it is a characteristic of the acrylic. Does anyone know about this?

i think the UV is a dye that is added into the acrylic of the case. Such as during the manufacturing process they just add the UV dye and make the whole piece UV reactive. So, if that's true, if scratched then it will still be UV reactive, since it would be embedded in the plastic.

Either way, i wouldn't go for the UV case. It'll block any lighted fans or your cc lights would look funny. I suggest doing what i did and buy the completely clear one, along with a clear PSU mod, and some either lighted fans or UV fans. It makes it look a lot neater with a clear case and UV fans, UV wires, UV water dye, and UV whatever else (such as highlighter written ontop of computer chips). I'll try to get a photo of what i have and post it sometime, but i don't have a digital camera and so therefore have to develop film first..etc...
