[Computex 2010] EVGA Classified SR-2 Case

[Blacky]

Weird from Jacob's twitter the case doesn't have those blue brackets and stuff, looks more CM like...

[lkiller123]

I hope that they will get rid of the blue.

[Metric]

They should have bought Metric's design for the SR-2. This case looks cheap and does not exactly live up to the boards standards of awesomeness.

You mean Mick's?

Unless I know something that...I don't know?...

[Corporate Thug]

Clearly a CM design. It looks like a 840 "XL"

[cstkl1]

hmm dunno y but looks like atsc 840 to me

[Baron_Davis]

Their new PS is an Antec, and I believe their new case is an 840. Haha I'm sure they'll do some tweaking on this case tho, makin it black/red and adding a few things.

Hm.. CM ATCS 840 with a new mobo tray and faceplate.

[STEvil]

looks taller than an 840.

[lkiller123]

Holy crap, did they just power all those hardware with only ONE psu?

[=[PULSAR]=]

A 1200W PSU should run that fine They were probably trying to showcase their upcoming SR-2 PSU too.

Exactly, Thats the one flaw I see, needs spots for 2 PSU's AND a BIG radiator.

Yeah, that would be nice. I wish cases actually got taller so they could fit a radiator in the bottom and the top.

I don't like MM cases because they take up to room nor do I like their look. My dream case would be an expanded lian li v2000 with more room on the top for a radiator and perhaps a few more pci slots for mega motherboards. The bottom of the case can already fit two power supplies and two 240mm radiators. With a triple radiator at the top, you would just have enough cooling for any setup.

blehh

Looks the same height to me. The ATCS is a huge case I bet they just made it a little longer to fit that motherboard.

[STEvil]

I'm assuming the pictured case with system is an 840.

Pictured case: Single PSU, motherboard, maybe 40mm extra room at the bottom.

SR2 case: Motherboard, PSU, 80-120mm fan at top, 10-15mm left over.

thats quite a bit of height difference to be the "same" case.

edit - also an extra HDD bay for the SR2 case.

This looks much better already. Colors looks much better now, they need to get rid of the gray. Only back and red!

PSU on top is a good move, and now there is room for one more just behind it, if they move that huge fan a bit. Then we can use 2x1000W.

With PSU(s) on top, they should/can clean up everything at the bottom (including the drive bay) to make room for 2 veridically mounted 4x120 RAD. Rather in it's own closed chamber with filters in both side, something like ST tj07.

These mods may make the case a bit taller, but this thingy is out of proportion already. In my opinion it will add a good value.

Well yeah the one with the cheap looking blue plastic is definitely not the same case. I was talking about the one with the system.

No dude, dual hexacores + 4xGTX480. That's insane power right there.

That system has been shown to use only 1350W peak so a 1200W continuous PSU should be able to maintain that...I hope

[H2O]

The EVGA PSU can supply 1600W peak, so it should have no problems running that setup.
