Is this case any good? I found a picture of it at http://135.145.31.89/product/cases/perfo.html

 

[CoolTechie]

yeah do a search here for sx1030... this case is great... 3 spaces for fans... it COMES with 2.. addd the 3rd ... you got a full decked out case..

 

[vspt]

Actually Cooltechie, it has space for 4 fans, comes with 2. I'm using it right now with 2 more fans I bought from outpost.com. One of the fan slots is hidden by the 3 1/2 in slide out tray box. Also check out the black ibm p96 monitor at onvia, if you need a decent 19in black monitor.

 

[CoolTechie]

sweet.. this i did not know.. even better

Edit: yeah Kemical... from the looks its very large.. i heard its heavy too...

 

[kemical]

I take it this is a fairly LARGE case? How tall is it?

I am currently using an Enlight 7237, but the front bezel doesn't stay on very well anymore. I am looking to replace it, but don't want something too huge to carry around. I transport my computer once a week.

I just picked up this case for my new system. Much more portable than my current SC750. I now carry it with my to a weekly lan party.

Plus:
Can lock out my three year old who likes to take a screwdriver and "fix" my computers.
5.25" bays are on cheap rails, 3.5" bays pull out. Roomy enough, light enough, nice Athlon approved 300W PS.

Minus:
Still 30+ lbs
Front panel looks cheap

BTW, can take 4 fans, 2 come with it. The fan "bays" are stylish puple plastic jobbies. I prefer them over the SC750 style "cage". 2 fans come with it exhausting out the back, an empty bay in the bottom front, and an empty bay in front of the lower 3.5" drive bay.

Onvia's free shipping had the case to me for like $91 delivered, took less than a week.

Just to throw my 2 cents in. I picked up this case about a month ago (paid a bit more for it and its not black). Its the first 'real' case I ever bought, usually I go for cheapy cases at the computer show or something. Anyways, this blows away any other case I ever had. Its very easy to get into, easy to change stuff around, has lots of fans, and is very roomy. My only complaint is the rails they provide to anchor in 5.25 drives and the slots for floppy drives didn't line up properly with my equipment. My CD-rom hangs out of the slot a LOT, and the floppy drive hangs out a little bit as well. I MUST be doing something wrong, but don't know what it is... the cd-rom looks really stupid hanging out as much as it does.

Aside from that I'd recommend the case highly.

I don't see open bays on the front panel!!!!!sx1030b

 

[abracadabra1]

[eyor]

Grass: you are probably looking at the server, not the workstation. scroll down

 

[CoolTechie]

yeah this is the 1030B not 1030.. the 1030 is out of stock.. im assuming the 1030b isnt cuz it aint easy to find on their site

 

[rebuilder]

Thanks Cooltechie,

I've been waiting for a nice case that I've never had!

 

[grass]

[rebuilder]

What's the possibility of installing a second power supply? Will it fit into this bad boy?

Grass,
Look on the right side of page at the list of coupons.

 

[PochiePooh]

Grass, the bays are behind the panel above which you can open up, or lock up.

 

[SUOrangeman]

Comparison to the KS180?

-SUO

 

[Strych9]

Antec is starting to sell these with 400 watt power supplies also.

 

[grass]

out of stock

 

[CaptainDank]

nice deal! i took advantage. thanks.

 

[tigger80]

yea i had a problem with the putting my cd-roms and dvd, just make sure you screw everything evenly like make sure its align properly then everything should fit like a glove with out the cd-rom sticking out. Also if you don't screw in the support for the 5.25" bays it will be hard to put in and take out the cd-roms. just take your time and it will fit almost perfectly

 

[barebottoms]
