Man I love me some Chieftech cases. I've been drooling, umm I mean wanting one for the longest time. Too bad the wife says no. Humph!

Just got my case today. It arrived a day early! U Go UPS!

Anyway, this case is awsome! It's built like a Sh*T brick house. Everything is popriveted. The only screws are to hold the sides in place. This thing is tall too, 'bout 3 feet high. :0 Plenty of room to to move into.

At 59 bucks, it's a deal not to pass up.

hub, hope you enjoy it, the chieftec cases are sweet.
wonderful to throw a system into, but kind of a pain to mod, cause the thickness of the steel.
my window is still waiting for a jigsaw, as i cant afford to drop 40 bucks on cutting discs

Oh you don't know thick. My LCT case I think that's what it's called, had the side panal 4mm thick!! I went through 14 of those dremel disk's! I figured out that using WD-40 as you dremel through keeps the sparks down, and the blade cool, which makes it last longer! just cutting out that side panal took me 4 hours =(, but it was worth it. I think it was more or less 3 mm thicks, thicker then the antec / cheiftec but not 4 mm thicks =. Oh well. Still a pain, maybe just some strange mixture for the steel.

Yes ... this is the case I'm waiting for. Directron is currently sold out, so I'm waiting for them to restock ...

And it looks as if there may be enough room to turn that 92mm fan in the back to a 120mm one ... this can be done, correct?

[Hubstack]

No/Yes. Where the PSU and the 90mm fan above is are cut into a plate that is screwed in. Enlarge the hole and you cut outside the plate. Make cents (i know).

On the other hand if you don't care YES it can be done.

That's what I'd thought ... I'll save the decision until I have the case, then.
