I saw this case and couldnt resist. It is pure beauty. it doesn't have a bunch of room for fans, aka theyre all used up when you get them, but anyway. 2X120MM and 90MM fans is awesome and the case is purely beautiful and has a nice finish. Anyone else have a comment?

Josh actually has this case on his wishlist right now. It will be his next upgrade.
It is a very nice case with LOTS of room and eye appeal. _________________ JayDubya aka JW Jay JD ^> ﺵ |

That is a very nice case. I like the looks of it better then the one that I have. I bet it is damn quiet with those 120mm fans. I also like the switchable side panels.
here is my case that I am working on right now...

Wow! Can they rip off CoolerMaster any more!
It's practically the same as the coolermaster line. _________________ Owner & Administrator

those cases don't have a lot of space, right????? My dad just built himself a computer and he got the XaserV Series- Damier V5000A BLK with 3.2E(yea bad choice but he chose to buy it) 160gig HD, 9800pro, and 512mb dual channel. anywyz
the case was pretty small and i think there the sam size... oh yea and bear in mind that the case is mighty heavy... |

| um, this case is one of the lightest out. Also it seems very roomy. the XaserV should be roomy also, but i dont know. This is probably the best case out right now. |

It weighs about 5.6Kg.....less than 6 bags of sugar...mmm.
Not much space?!? It has removable FDD and HDD cages for when you are building. What would you say is the definition of a roomy case, all reviews i have seen on it say it is roomy and the only case i can think of that is HUGE is the xaser 3, everything else is about the same size more or less. _________________ »4 RS«»1Ж «»1 DENE«»1 FREAKIN LAME OH«»1 MONEY MONEY«

I must bring up the fact that Alienware's old cases were copied by many manufacturer's also. . . cheiftech, antec, thermaltake, . . . any others? I don't know who the original manufacturer was but they all looked to be the same to me. There were a few obvious differences but they were essentially the same. _________________ JayDubya aka JW Jay JD ^> ﺵ |

| i didn't check on the specs of the tsunami but i did check out coolmasters case at fry's like couple months ago and it seemed pretty crowdy like if you think of it..... or its because i'm just exausted from tiding up the wires on my dads comp. so many wires and cables, nearly half was just from the case itself... |

| wavemaster is $140 and tis a better and higher quality case IMO and its got plenty fo room and even has a motherboard tray, but if you really want a badass aircooled case get the Cooler Master CM Stacker front fans in the drive bays side fan 1 120mm back fan and a motherboard fan too,its relaly nice but kinda ugly. |

Well, i have had once again...another change of mind on the case. I compared measurements on the tsunami to the LANFire and its the same size with all the HDD cages lower down...and the reason i am getting a new case is because my current one wouldnt be able to house a 6800GT as my case aint deep enough.
So to be on the safe side..im getting a case i can fit in the xaser 3. That didnt copy anything!  _________________ »4 RS«»1Ж «»1 DENE«»1 FREAKIN LAME OH«»1 MONEY MONEY«
