Well, I just don't need a spare case now I have the HAF 932, and I need the money for the cruise I'm going on April 12th.. Mexican Riviera

The case is in great shape. they are $89.99 New. But I've added the 12x12 Window, and did a great job doing it. Very sturdy and professional feeling. I also painted the inside Black. So it looks pretty good. If someone wanted to finally go to the custom look, or wanted a nice case, without having to mod it. This would be great for them.. Here is a link. the first link in the picture is a good picture of the paint.

So I'll break it down. It's $89.99 New, the Window was $20 dollars + Man hours, the paint was 3 can's total. 2 paint, 1 primer, and man hours. Plus I've replaced most of the ghetto stock fans with better ones. It has a Antec 3 speed blue LED in front, a SilverStone FM121 ($15 Value) fan on rear WITH fan controller inside the system so it's not visible. It also has Yate Loon Medium speed 33 dba, 70 CFM (Great airflow) fan on top exhaust spot. and there is room up top to add another 120mm fan. This case also has a spot for bottom fan. you can put like 7 in it. It has some great airflow, and great holes pre drilled out for Wire Management. It's tool-less. check out CM's site.

Here are some pics from a CM 690 club I was in when I used this case.

here's another good shot of the window I added.


and stat's for it on the CM site. Click on Features, and click on Gallery

Under Features, that 3rd picture down of the drive bay's that are tool-less. see all the holes to the left of them.. ALL of those holes, on both sides of the case are full of Motherboard, and PCI slot screws as well. you'll NEVER need another screw for a comptuer again. It's an amazing design idea others should incorporate.

hey guys i posted my rig a few weeks back, with my new i7 system, the thing is i was using my old antec p190 case which i modded ( removed some internal metal dividers to make more space) and its nice and all , but i decided to go with a newer case..so i ordered the Coolermaster Storm SNiper case, looks really nice..and im going to be adding some extra fans when i get it to help with more cooling..i'll be posting as soon as i rebuild my system..

heres a recap of the new system in the old case..as soon as the new one is built, ill take new pics with better angles as well

^ and better lightning ones! :D

Hello Gunther.


D***, I just bought another CM 690 (I gave the first one to my brother) two days ago from Newegg; I sure wish I'd have known you were selling this one.

Man Gunther, you went crazy with your pc case . Mine is like some 8 year old silver case my dad gave me...

 

[xguntherc]

Nice emulator, the Sniper is a great case. I've worked with them. you will be very happy.

and barefoot. it's only been 2 days, cancel the newegg.com order and take mine bro, it's sweet, and painted. All the things you want. and better fans. Can't go wrong. or evil, you can take it.

If i were to buy it, how much would you let me have it for?

But i doubt my dad will let me get it...

Hey Gunther, they shipped it the same day, it'll be here 7 April. I'm sure you'll be able to sell such an awesome case with so many mods.

not bad there lukas, cool system you got there. Don't ya just love the SLI. I know I do.

The only thing I'd suggest there. is that with SLI, any decent GPU, and you have 2 decent ones. Any decent GPU will do better with a faster CPU. If you took that E8400 from 3.0 to something very easy to reach like 3.6 Ghz or so.. you'd get better performance out of the SLI. a decent chunk. more than a few FPS. that chip could probably do 4.0 Ghz. but I'd say 3.6 would be the sweet spot.

Other than that, all good. Nice case, I love those 1200's

OH, and to everyone here at Vista64.. Amplid, everlong, accord, any of you guys.. If you want to buy my old Cooler Master CM690 case, that I've only had for like 8 months.. It's for sale, Remember I painted the inside black, and added a window. It's a great case. I'm selling it if anyone wants it.

Accord, it would go AMAZING with your new 750i board.. that is what went in there originally anyways, since that is what I have.. You got the FTW edition right? PM me for info, or pics if anyone wants it...

Thats what i'm working on now actually...oc'ing the e8400...trying to hit 4.00Ghz stable....right now i've managed to run it at 3.75Ghz stable....and you are right, definitely see a boost of performance!

thanks, here's a preview of how it will look actually, my good friend and I, have pretty much both purchased very similiar, practically identical systems down to the "T", core i7 920 which we have mimicked our bios settings as well to OC the 920 to 3.69ghz, sniper case, coolermaster v8 hsf, asus rampage 2 extreme, the only different things we have are the HDD's, Opticals, PSU.and GFX card, the ram is different but we both have 6gb of ddr3 1600mhz, but other than that its the same.here's his finished system, as soon as mine is complete you better believe ill post it lol:

Ya they are awesome cases.. Enjoy it.

and evil.. I duno, make me an offer of what you might be able to pull

Nice luk, 3.75 Ghz is probably enough to get the most out of the GPU.. now the higher you go is strickly for CPU performance, but still nice work. Keep it going. but 4.0 Ghz is not really needed. it's just braggin rights. lol nothing special.

Hey...i still want to have the fastest rig on my block for the next couple years ....so an OC'd 4.00Ghz will do just that :D lolz

hey there, i have a core i 7 920, and although i can get it up to 4ghz stable, i like to keep it at 3.7ghz, just for peace of mind, that the slightly lower clock, might help the lifespan, AND i dont feel like im unnecessarily cooking it up lol

but i do understand that the numbers look better when you see "4" ghz

Nice! Well i am not worried about cooking it lolz, i have a pretty good cooling setup. As for running it at 4.00Ghz, i probably won't end up running it like that always...but i'd still like to hit the target and make it stable! ...i'll probably end up running it at 3.75Ghz always ...but i want the 4.00 :D

 

[evilhugbear]

My dad won't let me get your case gunther... Which I really wanted, because in my case there is a cord that won't reach to the rear fan and I have to keep the case open so it doesn't get too hot :eek: lol. Oh well...

 

[xguntherc]

Danger. That's no good. lol. get a new fan instead.

It's ok.
