The Member's Systems Discussion Thread

[Darkbreeze]

I've built systems in many, many cases that were better quality overall than the Enthoo Pro, but I think the Pro has been the easiest to work IN of any case I've built with. And that's a lot of cases, so that's saying something.

I wish the top and front panels were aluminum instead of plastic, or that they at least offered a separate version that had that, but honestly the features on that case, cable management areas and just general design makes building in it a pleasure.

I might buy a Enthoo Primo, my Cosmos II has been bothering me for a while. The Primo seems like a MUCHHH better option than the cosmos. Ill be buyiong it used since i can affor another 300$ case. But meh

 

[Darkbreeze]

I haven't done any builds in a Primo, but I imagine it's quite a step up from the Pro. I know it's pretty nice as I've talked to a couple of people with the Primo that think it's pretty hard to beat without spending a lot more money, IF you need a case that big.

So I got my Enthoo Pro today and got everything (my Dark Knight rig) installed and hooked up and working perfectly. This might be the best case I've ever bought - really easy to use and work in. I'll post some pictures tomorrow after I get the fans setup.

Can't wait to see the pics! That's an awesome case.

Also, great news. I returned those fans today, Amazon not only gave me back all my money for the fans but also paid me back all the shipping costs (which were a good amount of money), and I didn't have to pay anything to ship it back. See, this is why I buy off Amazon.

Amazon is very good to deal with.

^ Agreed. I love my Prime. Any time I've ever had to deal with customer service it's always hassle free and left me happy.

I don't even have Prime and I still got all my money back.

I have only made one return to amazon and I was expecting a restocking fee and all that, but none. They paid shipping as well.

I recently ordered something from the US amazon and being in Canada I had an import fee. They later sent be back a part of it because they said it was less than they expected.

For me they have been great.

I wish I had prime, but the only use I have is the free shipping if and when I order something. And even then, everything is delivered in less than 3-4 days, even if it is across the Continental United States....

 

[turkey3_scratch]

I could make good use of prime. I probably spend $40 yearly in shipping costs, in addition to free 2 day shipping, and I get all those TV shows and movies to watch.

I've gotten where I even buy everyday stuff at Amazon because they are generally cheaper. Toothpaste, lightbulbs, batteries even coffee and granola bars to name a few so I order a bunch of stuff all the time. Prime has Sunday delivery now here so when they say free 2 day delivery they mean it. I have also bought a bunch of big ticket stuff like my current TV and speakers there just because it's so easy to deal with them. If I had bought that stuff locally I would have had to bring it home and carry it upstairs. Order from Amazon and it gets delivered and carried up to my porch for me. And big ticket returns are the same way. They send someone to pick it up if it has to go back.

Turkey have you looked at the Cooler Master Elite 130? I believe they are around $30 after rebate at micro center. Small in size, yet large enough to use a ATX PSU and fit long dual slots graphics cards.

I recently picked up a NZXT Switch 810 Special edition in Gunmetal Grey. I have never had a "high end" pc case before but I love it!

That case is monster size!

 

[RazerZ]

Definitely. I feel my parts will be ant sized in there...another excuse to upgrade :lol:

 

[turkey3_scratch]

You could buy an XL-ATX motherboard and 4 GPUs.

 

[Deleted member 217926]

Got a Phantom 820 in the same color. High end NZXT cases are amazing.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

I thought the Switch 810 was only sold in White... I talked to a NZXT rep a while back and the rep said it was been permanently discontinued.

 

[RazerZ]

It is discontinued, I bought mine used. The normal versions are in glossy black/white the special edition has a few revisions and comes in matte black or gunmetal grey.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Ah... I had my eye on that case for a long time for my pcpartpicker dreams... I'm in love, but its a shame they only sell the white ones now... Lotta plastidip to fix that 😛

 

[turkey3_scratch]

Woah.

 

[Darkbreeze]

Yeah, Lian-Li does some weird sh, um, stuff.

 

[turkey3_scratch]

This is the case I want:

But strangely, I only saw it on this Toms article. I don't see that color option anywhere, I only see the black. Maybe it's unreleased?

 

[Darkbreeze]

It was probably only a demo model, a one-off for promotional use only.

 

[turkey3_scratch]

That sucks, I really like the color.

 

[Darkbreeze]

Gold. First color of choice worldwide for pimps, and executives.
