I got mine from the same place. IIRC they have the cheapest price too.
Wow thats a nice nifty little case! It looks pretty cool.
I'm planning to order mine today. But before I do, anyone know if the following will fit in there:
1) XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler
Anyone know if a Corsair HX1000 will fit in here. I've done the measurements a few times over and it looks like it might fit, but be REALLY tight. Just want to see if anyone has tried this before I buy one...
Unfortunately yea, unless you get a BS-02/03 exhaust over the 2 cards to pull hot air out, those 4850's don't exhaust hot air outside the case like the dual-slot 4870's do...
What was used to cut the opening for the window and the blowholes? Jigsaw or Dremel or both? I've been reading a lot of this thread (at least 40-50 pages so far) and I know a lot about the case itself so I ordered one. I've been looking at a good small case for a long time that would replace my full tower case. I will be adding a blowhole to the top and a case window but I've never done anything like this before. I have the patience but I just don't have the skills, how hard can it be?My recently built A05B, specs in sig
New buttons for my A05:
Power: 19mm / Reset: 16mm

I wanted to jump in with some new info before you made your blowhole. Go to your favorite hardware store and purchase a Dremel circle cutter. I don't know why everyone recommends a hole saw, but this is a lot cheaper and you can actually make any size hole you want! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HI5WTY
I'll have more details on my worklog by the end of the week, so keep an eye out on this thread for a link.
Martmann,
I just ordered one from Newegg. I've been following this thread for awhile now and also saw your photos on Webshots. What is the part number of the pem nuts you used for your HDD cage? What thumb screws did you use? And did you ever solve the unreversible fan/BS-03 dilemma?
Thanks for the inspiration.
The Dremel circle cutter is great for things like wood, drywall, etc. But I would not recommend it for metal.
A nice hole saw does a much better job on metal than the dremel circle cutter.
Don't knock it before you try it The medium you're cutting through has more to do with the bit you're using, not the jig that's holding it. If you are OK with cutting into metal with the dremel by hand, then you're OK using the circle cutter. Plus, this is aluminum we're talking about. If it was steel, then I'd be on your side
I used it on 2 holes with absolutely ZERO problems. Very clean edges, the AL cuts like butter. Just use a metal cutting bit and go slow.
My experience is trying to use it on steel, since that is what most cases are made out of. Over the years a nice 120mm hole saw was a great investment. If this was going to be his only mod, then I'd say go ahead with the circle cutter; but I have a feeling like most of us he will get the modding bug and soon all of his cases will have blow holes. If that is the case then I still suggest a hole saw.
