The honeymoon is over...
Fan Grills:
The fans are much louder due to grills. A dremel would solve the problem, but then I'd have a very exposed pc to the elements...not so good for the LAN party.
Also, they don't throw nearly as much air w/ this restriction.
HDD Cages:
Tho quiet and a definite improvement the Raptors can still be heard, so a mod for elastic bands will eventually be what happens for them.
Power Button:
The power button is located in the most inconvenient place...I suppose the back of the system might be worse.
Needs Window:
I feel completely helpless wo/ the ability to see that all fans are running and no cables have snuck out to cross the fans.
Size:
I miss my big inconvenient case already
Top Mounted Fans:
There's no way the case is going under my desk w/ the 2 top 120's. And this makes it difficult to reach w/ cables. Also, I cannot aim it at the corner where a fan exists to push the air up and out of the room.
Bottomline:
Not a bad CM, but some of us just need biga$$ cases.
