[Ultimate Gamer]

no it was like that i dont know why we have them so spread apart but a giveaway is a giveaway but heres the thing i think it has something to do with the sponsors higher gas prices higher everything more money to ship it. so maybe thats why we havent had one in a while!

I'm also on the fence about getting a new CPU cooler the Noctua NH-U12P. I want it, but not sure if I want to get it yet.

I hope NZXT or Rodney gets the case shipped soon, since I'm going to be away the end of July then all of August, because I don't feel like chasing shipping companies around. But hey it was free I can't complain. :D

[evil_gusgus]

Yes, I know some of them aren't that good, poor lighting, the flash, I couldn't be bothered to take a ton of pictures, plus I'm sure using MS Paint didn't help much either.
I'll get some better pictures of everything when I put my stuff together.

[warrenh]

Gah, I mooked posting the pictures the first time, this should work now, delete my other picture post that doesn't have pictures please!

[Race234]

oh hey if your camera has a macro feature I would recommend turning it on, it will make pictures like the heatsink and such less fuzzy.

But ya congrats and enjoy ^_^


oh and for the love of everything good do some cable management, you have a window now =p

[Salavat23]

Now you just need to tackle the cable mess. ;)

[Patron]

Looks great man..:thumb

[Davis]

Just bought this case and arrived today. Its a very nice case and the cable management is pretty good. Im working on it right now and running the cables behind the hdd tray adn then under the motherboard tray so you can hardly see them.

Only trouble is removing the front panel and putting in drives. Would just have been easier if you could take out the front mesh without removing the whole panel.

Still gotta test the fan noise. Praying :hail that it will be quiet and im only using one top exhaust and maybe only one intake fan depending on the noise factor but i doubt it.

[nelcito523]

I need a new case count me in

[JustinEss]

This giveaway ended almost 3 months ago.


On another note, I really should get a picture of the case after I attempted some cable management.

[Race234]
