Awesome choice of case

IKR! It's downright sexy. Do you use your fan controller much or is it at your perfect speed?

 

[NMEBowen]

the sniper is nice but ive been persuaded by the nzxt phantom now its got 5 fan controllers and although it has 2 less usb 2 on the frount the motherboard ive choses has an insane ammount anyway so 2 less isnt going to make a difference. but i must ask why have you gone back to the ati card? i thought you were going for a nvidia?

nVidia card is more expensive, more powerful by like 2 fps (...) and had really crappy i/o

I am currently not sure whether to get Phantom or sniper. I will do a poll

The sniper can control up to 5 or 6 fans also. its just not individual controlling like the phantom.

 

[NMEBowen]

how many fan slots are there i can see the frount bottom and top are there ones on the side panel and does the top bottom or side hold any more than the 3 stated?

 

[Teaz]

1 front, 1 bottom, 1 big side or 2 small on the side, 1 back, 1 big fan at top or 2 smaller at top.

personally, id go for the sniper, not that i own it already but i did my research on what i could tweak on it and it ticked alot of my boxes on my checklist, i just didnt quite like the cable management and cpu cooler hole cut out but it was good enough so i went with it.

ideally, i would of went for the Silverstone FT02 or the Raven RV03 or RV02 if i knew about it as they ticked all the boxes lol but too late now lol

I might go for the storm as phantom is hard plastic

 

[NMEBowen]

the storm has plastic parts also i belive the build qual is better on the storm but size cable managment and cooling per cubic meter is better on the phantom

Storm is more metally in comparison though. I still am not sure about which to get.

Decided now. updating specs in a min
