Do you think transparent, flashy LED cases are ugly?

haha my case is everything you guys would call ugly lol, but it does the job and has nice airflow :)

I have that same exact case, and it looks ok, but cools like a freezer.

One of the best airflow cases you can get. Mine just keeps blowing cool air all the time. Now the huge 240 mm fan on top, I have running on HI speed, its quiter then my cpu fan which I run at high, when I run a heavily huge task such as ripping a dvd, its only a slightly different tempurature.

Here are some pictures of the case and my build:

Case - Please excuse the bad cable management, the power supply is crazy with all the extra cords it has, such as 4 PCI-E.:

I actually think its a nice clean case except for the top. If it didn't have that huge fan on it I think it'd look so much cleaner.

It keeps it cool as a ice chest though.

Your PC is cool due to the huge heatsink you stuck on your CPU, and the 2x120mm fans on the front of the case will do a hell of a lot more than the top fan.

Then there's also the fact your gfx card wont get anywhere near as hot as a high performance card.

I'd be willing to bet that with your configuration that you could disable that fan and not see a huge difference in temperatures.

Your actually quite right on that though, it may be blowing cold air, but the thing is, the fan inside the heat sink which is a 120mm, I have it pointing towards the back of the case, which 1 1/2 inches away is the 120mm case exhaust. I am sure that is the main reason that its cool because hot air is blown out horizontally almost immediately. I am sure if I did some heavy cable management, I could see a bit more of a drop. Most of my PSU cords that are left over are on the very bottom HDD bay, If one didn't have a modular psu and didn't put there cords there, I don't see how they do it.

And that GFX card, that I have, does everything I need it to, hence the reason I got it. And I got it at an extremely cheap price, I can play full 1280p video in any resolution and have it play fine. No lag what so ever.
