    Nice job, actually seems like a nice case.. Get the internals Powder coated and put a 120.2 RAD in the roof and a 120.1 in the rear you'd have a great looking watercooling rig.

    cheers, it is a very decent case. They seem to be pulling out a new variant to suit every pocket. LanCool DragonLord Range the top model K62 £82.79 at Scan has a black interior side panel and full set of top fans. A 140.2 rad would probably be favourite in the top.

    great read m8, its about time sombody who copied the a900/cm690 made it better instead of just another clone but this is the first "cheap" case i have seen and would consider it an upgrade from my 690.

    only down side i see with it is you dont have the option for 120 and 140mm fans/rads but thats only a niggle really

    < ram stopped me :/

    Am I the only one seeing a problem in this case having an open top?

    And hello to you too! Welcome here!




    I see... Well. At this point I should inform you that I intend to form my own team, and destroy the molecular bonds that bind your very matter together and reduce the resulting particulate chaos to tears.

    Yes not being able to use 120mm fans in the top might be a pain, but you could rig a bracket mod if required. The lack of any optional mounting does give a great open airflow for 140mm fans.

    @Dr Scummm,
    welcome to the forum
    The top is no different to many others the idea is that positive air pressure is generated, This means that air pressure in case is > than external so air is pushed out through the top. All Intake areas front fan bottom PSU vent are dust filtered. If you have the top fans installed their designed as exhaust fans, so blow out, so even less chance of dust into the case. As for Coffee well that's down to the user

    Yeah, hi.

    Back to the subject at hand tho. I read an assload of different reviews about this tower and not one of these reviews did point out that this thing has an open top which to me seems potentially hazardous. Anyone else think so too?

    Edit: someone replied while I was writing this. Well, it seems odd. I guess it's like driving a car with no roof: a flock of birds might be very dangerous then.
