Stacker 810?

[ExodusC]

Hi guys, for Christmas I'm thinking about buying myself a new case. I've been looking and looking, but I can't find anything that fits just what I want. The closest thing I've found seems like it would be the Stacker 810. It's cheap, has a window (with no vents), looks very roomy, has a bottom mounted power supply, and lots of drive bays. It also seems like it wouldn't be hard to put watercooling in for the future, but this isn't a big concern as I have a great air cooling setup.

There's only a few things I'm concerned of:

No wire routing holes on the motherboard tray
Appears to only fit a few hard drives with the stock mounting
Appears to lack good frontal air intake

I'm sure of lot of people have this case. How do you like it? I'll really need something to fit two 4850s in when I get my next one. If anyone has another case that would meet my criteria, I'd love to hear about it.

1) you can cut the tray for holes but there isn't a whole lot of space back there. most people don't use the cross flow fan and run em through there (the large opening to the right of the mobo)

2) stock box can hold 4 HDs, you can by more adapters or any of the various hd coolers that work in a 5.25 adapter, or you could probably manage to work in som MM 120mm HD adapters on there (hold 3)

3) ....have you not looked at this case? the entire front is mesh & can hold 3 front 120mm intakes (if you dont want any optical drives) standard out of the box setup has 1 front 120 intake (for the HD cage) but they are easy to drop in


As for the case i don't mind it, its got plenty of room and is solid. It is however heavy, wheels help a bit but not for taking it up/down 4 flights of stairs for a lan.

Ah, yeah, wire management would be a fairly high priority for me, as it has a window and I'd like it to look nice. Four HDDs stock isn't enough for me, however, I need at least six. I suppose I'll have to buy a cage to hold the others. Oh, and I saw the one fan mounted, I just wasn't sure if you could easily mount more in there.

This might be the case for me, I'm seriously considering it.

Just needs a couple holes drilled and it's perfect

This is about the best I could do right now for cable management. The 810's USB and audio cables are too short for this mobo, and the PSU's cables aren't real long either. But most everything is out of the way as much as possible for decent air flow.

Might cut some holes and paint it later, some longer cables, but overall a very good case.

As aztec write the worst thing in this case are the standard usb and audio cables. This cables are to short i have the same problem with them. you can't hidden it behind the MB. This is the only not good think in this case. Everything else i think is ok. Big case, place for 2 psu, much of hdd nad in standard you have atx and btx :]
