A new case..

[Admiral Huddy]

Decided to buy a new case as the midi towers i had was just to small.. and certainly not big enough for an 8800GTX..

Went for the Thermaltake Kandalf.. VA9000SWA and it arrived last week..
Can you "adam and eve" that parcel force just left it round the side gate Was not happy about that. Oh well..


Have to say i'm very impressed..



The case is huge.. about 560 mm deep.. I keep knocking my knees on it.




You see the size of that card... I still had some trouble getting it in. I had to remove the fancy "non-tool PCI clips" to get it in.
.





The only negative side is the cooling. The system temps are 10oc up on the midi case I had.. Since there is more empty space inside, the airflow from the front intake fan has further to go before it hits the chipset. So I've ordered a couple of additional 120mm fan including Kythe Karma bay. Hopefully they should arrive today


I had a bit of a tidy up of the cables and It's job well done I think.
