Pics of my new CoolView case!
First off, I'd like to thank AeroCool and Legit Reviews for the CoolView case that I won in the April forum contest.
So, here are the pics you've all been waiting for!
The box that the case arrived in:

The case is out of the box:
Here, I'm comparing my old and new cases:
Here's my messy work area:
I'm almost done:

that thing is pretty sweet. i kinda like how it has everything mounted backwards.
comp specs- too lazy to make a cool looking sig... MB:GIGABYTE GA-MA790XT-UD4P, AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition 2.8Ghz, CORSAIR TW3X4G1333C9DHX 4GB PC3-10666, ASUS Radeon HD 4870 512MB, SB audigy gamer, WESTERN DIGITAL Caviar Black 500GB, antec P180 case (extra 120mm fan and 80mm fan), Corsair HX Series 620W: ASSEMBLED June 2009
Yeah it is deep, esp. for a mid tower. The problem I ran into with everything being upside down is I had to run the 20-pin mobo power cable through a hole in front of the HDD. Otherwise it couldn't reach the mobo, so I have to unplug that everytime I want to get out the HDD. Other than that this is a GREAT case. It's quieter with 4 fans (1x120mm, and 3x80mm) than my other case with 2 fans. (2x80mm)
It's awesome!

Yeah it is a little big... but I think I'll keep it!KnightRid wrote:VERY nice! Is it good at cooling? cable management? making breakfast?

Booo stock AMD CPU cooler Heheh your system is still great nonethless
I didn't know Aerocool made such cool cases. I probably thought Aerocool cases were strange because of the image of their case with the huge side fan was still printed in my mind... Cool system, very bright LEDS, hope that they aren't too blinding What are your temps?

My idle temps are about 34'-35'C and that's with folding running at 33%.Zenphic wrote:What are your temps?
lol I can imagine, the panels of the case looks pretty thickpcrobot wrote:The light is not bad... the nice thing is the silence!
By the way, the front door looks really big and squary. Would you have prefered if if was maybe a bit smaller?
Nice! And that's without any overclocking? If so, wonderful. Push that baby up a bit!pcrobot wrote:My idle temps are about 34'-35'C and that's with folding running at 33%.
No, I like it actually. I like big cases!Zenphic wrote:lol I can imagine, the panels of the case looks pretty thick

With the AMD 3200+ Venice, you can do a nice mild OC using the OEM AMD heat-sink.
