I like it. I just bought a Dell 8100. It looks very similar.

[Hawkeye178]

I've seen that, it's pretty expensive. Do you like it?

[Mr.Goodbytes]

I would say it's well worth it. You've got a full-featured case there. I would check on a couple of things first though; just ask the seller. Get the brand of the PSU, it's recommended to have an AMD approved one. Also I'd ask how easy it is to drop in the motherboard. I hate cases that make your life miserable trying to put in components.

I have the case hear I bought it awhile ago http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif.

It says it's a turbolink psu.

Yeah I think I'm going to respray my drives, but is it safe to respray a CD-Rom drive?

Only if you are comfortable with taking it apart and carefully masking the interior.

Just spraying without doing that will just ruin it.

[Hawkeye178]

That's what I thought, what about on a floppy drive?

[SPEEDO]

The floppy comes apart rather easily, The front just pulls off after you depress a couple of tabs, They are all a little different but basically simple.
Just watch out for a little coil spring that some of the have to keep the door shut!!

[Hawkeye178]

I'll do that, thanks SPEEDO.

All the drives I've owned came apart quite easily usually the front just clips off the floppy and its quite similar for my DVD drive, except for the tray which would require masking, I would use some sort of Plastic with a hole cut in it, much like a surgeon does when operating.

i think this case is pretty cool.

[Imperion1]

Face plates on cdroms come off pretty easily too. They're held in by either a clip on each side or screws. As for the plate on the tray, this is a little more tricky.
Some plates slide straight up, some have a couple of small pegs on the bottom that needs to be pulled away from the tray (by moving the plate forward) to give clearance for the plate to slide upward.
Don't remember about the eject button though.

[hallam2003]

it appears that the mobo tray is removable? is it, sorry if it said that somewhere, I'm too tired to readd right now. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Yeah, that's a nice looking case. Silver and black are definately hardcore. Who puts it out?

[Hawkeye178]

Thanks all, the name on the box says Turbo Case, and the last computer show I went to has it in two different colors for 60 bucks.

[Mr.Goodbytes]

<smacks forehead> Duh, I should have known better when I saw the eBay site say the the "Auction has ended." Anyway, I checked AMD's cross reference for compatible PSU's and did not see turbolink. Is that the brand name, or the model name? In any regard, we're all aware that 320W will be enough for ya. Hope the motherboard you put in there has extra USB headers. That way you'll be able to make use of the front ports.

[gfunkmartin]

That's pretty snazzy looking. You should reply back when you get it and let everyone know how you like it

[Mr.Goodbytes]

Hey, gfunk! He does have it. I would have thought my blunder would have opened up everyone's eyes on that issue. Guess not. HAHA http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

[wahrez]

That is a seriously nice case...do you intend to re-spray your drives?

Nice style and good functionality!

[Hawkeye178]

LOL, Mr. Goodbytes, I'm glad that you guys like it too, someone told me it wasn't worth but I thought so, I think this guys still selling the same case anyways, thanks for your opinions http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif.

[club_med]

[jkac123]

Cool, Very coooooool!!!!!!!1

[daverme]

I think you got an extremely good deal there, dude!

[Hawkeye178]

Thanks everyone I like it to, and the motherboard tray is removeable http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif.

[Hawkeye178]

The PSU also has a sticker that says :CTW Pentium IV," I'm not sure if that's the brand of the PSU or not http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif.
