My own five-case roundup discussion $40-$200. Add your own?

The large fan on the side gave me problems too, but it wasn't a matter of the fan not working; my cpu heatsink was just too tall for the side fan to clear it. I ended up removing the side fan, which incidentally made cleanup a lot simpler as well (a 200mm fan pulls in a TON of dust).

My computer is currently in a Danger Den Torture Rack test bench while I clean up the Cosmos and prep it for sale. Even though it is in perfect condition, I'll probably only ask $165 or $170 for the Cosmos S to sell it faster.

As far as liquid cooling goes, I have everything but 2x Aqua Computer aquagraFX GTX460 blocks (though I might switch to the 580), and the 18 Bitspower Shining Silver compression fittings I need.

Currently I have
1x HWLabs Black Ice SR-1 360
1x HWLabs Black Ice SR-1 240
2x D5 pumps (Bitspower mod tops to come in the future)
1x Aqua Computer Kryos XT cpu block
2x Bitspower 150 water tank z
10x 120mm Xigmatek XLF-F1255 white LED fans
A buttload of MDPC-X vanilla sands and grand bleu sleeving

Sounds like a nice setup you have there.

Still seems a little steep for a used case, even if its in perfect condition. It's on newegg for right around $200. Personally I'd rather pay that extra to get an unused item. Just my opinion.

I hear you, and personally I'm of the same mindset. I'm just going off of prices I've found online (ebay and craigslist) for the same case in similar condition.

This "hot-swappable" hdd dock doesnt act very hot-swappable...

Didnt Techspot review this case? Corsair 650D?

I'm going to have to see if they tested out the dock in the review...

So either I am doing something wrong, or whoever reviewed this didnt actually test out the dock. If anyone has any information, it would be helpful. Are there options in the BIOS? On first thought, I would say this is just like taking a power cable and sata cable and trying to plug in a HDD while the system is on... usually that just doesnt work, right?

Please correct me if I am wrong.

PS. Pics coming soon for those who requested.

I'm kind of surprised that nobody could post and help me out with this... however I got this solved with a slight BIOS adjustment.

I have a HAF 932. It's a great case.

I have an Antek 300. It's a great case too
