Selection is hit or miss usually, and with the supplies running as low as they are, they might only have some crappy server drives from 1998. They might not have 2TB green types around, have to wait for the preview video to find out.
when is preview video gonna come out? lol

line ups have gotten toooo insane from when they just started doing them
i remember the first few ones getting there at like 7 and still be first 50~ in line but now too far back
Datsun
03-08-2012, 11:18 PM
Yeah, now if you want to be first 20/30 you need to be there at 8PM the night before.
I have never encountered a deal that could justify that kind of wait...
Just going to casually drop by.. need to head to richmond anyways. Not going to line up for anything though.

I thought it was a featured case mod at first...damn it looks tough as hell. Looks like its a great alternative to the HAF series already.
Their description/blurb:
The Vengeance C70 computer case has convenient built-in carry handles and a steel front panel instead of plastic for enhanced durability. Eight PCI-E slots give you the freedom for the multi-GPU setups, and dual USB 3.0 I/O ports and six SSD-ready hard drive bays (in two removable drive cages) enable the PC to be tuned for raw performance. The C70 has up to 10 fan mounts, making it a great case for air-cooling, plus the C70 also features room for water-cooling with spots for the Hydro Series™ H100 or other 240mm radiators on top. The bottom hard drive cage can also be removed to install a second 240mm radiator. The case is available in three colors: Arctic White, Gunmetal Black, and Military Green.
MSRP $139, due in May

For $140, there's a ton of other options out there, thought that one doesn't look too bad. Oh, for your gpu, shove a accelero on it and ziptie a 120mm fan or 2. Temps'll drop down to like, 50 or so.

Not a rad, just the stock 3 fans that come with the case.
And damn, NSX, thats a nice case. Wanted it but it was too much for me, haha.
^^ Thanks dude. I was tossing up between this one and the 600t. Im glad I didnt pull the trigger tooooo fast. TOok some time to decide. The 600t is sexy as heck, but there just wasnt any room for white, since all my other computer parts are black. Cant wait until my computer "needs" upgrades again. ....This thread...tread carefully.

NSX, you should flip that PSU so the grille is facing out the 'back' of the case. IIRC there's a filtered opening there just for its fan. Still jelly of the case though!
Here's what a 540 rad would look like, if anyone's interested :troll:

my tower is tucked under the table and my case has mesh side panels so I rarely see the insides and so matching colours isn't that important to me...as long as it has good air flow that's what i care most about.
thanks to donut for creating this thread and those that contribute to it...gave me some inspirations to be a nerd :)
