1/ What's your dream case?

2/ Any cases with room for 2 psu's out there?

3/ How many rigs do you own?

ta

p.s I think one of my LG drive has died, it won't close, will have a look tomorrow when I build the new case....

I think I've seen a Lian Li with 2 PSU spots.
The P190 from Antec too. It's longer so 8800gtx have enough space so no need to take a drive bay off.

2 rigs I own, 7 PCs in house

dream case. i'm humble too: the one i have: P180

I'm perfectly happy with my YCC-66F1 except for the door. But at least they had the sense to put the power/reset buttons outside of the door.

It's HUGE, lightweight aluminum (yet a good density aluminum,) is on wheels and has a nice black annodized finish.



As soon as Ultra releases their version of the 61F1, I'm going to steal a bezel. There's no door and they add a slot in the front with a Firewire and eSATA port. w00t!

I like my chenming full tower. Same as the ultra version w/o side window. Roomy enough for me.

wow, 2 PSUs in one box? Never thought I'd see the day.

Depending on how old you go, I've got three PCs that I use, 5 up and able to run with about 2 more downstairs

Probably not the same. Ultra's aren't made by Chenming.

I forgot the other part of the question....

2: Yes, there are two PSU cases out there. But why bothr when you can just get one big PSU? It's less clutter (2 PSU's means twice the cables,) more efficient, quieter.... Just doesn't make sense to me.

3: Too many. I even have a water cooled 3200+ out on the back porch. Video cards on the floor. CPU HSF's on top of the entertainment center... It's not good.

Hmm, didn't think the chenming were made by chenming either to be honest. I've seen the same design in a few different brands with minor differences. Only flaw on mine is no mobo tray.

LOL! Yeah.... If you have a Chenming, it's made by Chenming as they are the factory. They make Chieftech and Aspire.

lol shows what I know! Sorry for hijacking for a sec... now back to our regularly scheduled program...

Jonny, only thing keeping my upstairs looking like yours is the vast, yet nasty, basement. I've got monitors, cases, boards, CPUs etc all over the place. been debating on garage selling a bit of it just to make room for newer stuff

I want one! The whole case. Kripes! I hope it looks as good as the Akasa Eclipse 62.
My hopes are up jonny.

Ultras aren't Chenming?

I think I've got a Chenming design someone else built, then (the Aluminus). Same style front panel, same PSU bracket, same drive rails and little circular holes on the sides of the drive bays. Weird.

3: Too many. I even have a water cooled 3200+ out on the back porch. Video cards on the floor. CPU HSF's on top of the entertainment center... It's not good.

Oh man, I know that feeling... this room's a disaster, the basement's almost as bad...

And as for dual PSUs, there's the CoolerMaster Stacker as well, but that one's pretty pricey. There's always the duct-tape-it-to-the-side solution.
