opinion on Titan Robela Water Case

I have no first hand experience.

I've read that it cools "acceptably." Definitely better than stock coolers, possibly as good as a quality heat pipe, and no noise.

The biggest complaint seems to be that the harddrive area heats up a lot. You need an extra fan stuck in there somewhere to cool the drives.

cause I was like for 89.00 it seems like it is worth a toss. Guess i will buy it and try it out. Sure I can sell it for what I buy it for.

90 bucks... more people pay for the case ALONE.

i just read a review on it. its only a couple of degrees better than a high end air cooling solution. not really worth it.

if you want water cooling you have to spend a bit more in my opinion.

edit: that thing was going for 350!!!

get the case. now!

i just realized this. for a good decent case. but still cheap. its 40-50 bucks. + high end air = 100 already.

so actualy, its a pretty damn decent deal. but be warned. it could spring a leak.


but yea, keep in mind the hard-drives get a little hot, so get an extra fan on them (just ziptie/ghetto rig it on)

fans I have enough of.
I kinda already have a high end air cooler so I am wondering, aaaaaa what the hell I am sure I can launch it for 90.00 if I dont like.

i've heard that it cools barely better than high end air, but as people have said, it's certainly worth it for a mere 90. I bet you could sell the whole setup for more than a 100 any way. Get it, and than sell it if it's not performing up to par.
