    Turbo Gamer 21in Black Aluminum 4x5.25in 6x2.5in 420w W/ Window

    I bought this case + 2 fans + round cables.
    For around $USD 160


    I previously had a case with
    57~60 degrees C CPU temperature (51 when idle)
    34 degrees C in-case temperature
    This was with regular case with 1 front, 1 rear fan!!


    Now, with Turbo Gamer 21In, I get
    47~48 CPU temperature when full load (playing graphic intensive games, 44 C when idle)

    AND WHOOPING

    9 degrees C in-case temperature

    ==> this is like a freezer!
    The case so d@mn cold that my room, which was usually warm (around 23~25 degrees, thnx to hot comp), is now pretty cold!


    If you add 2 fans front, it actually blows the air right through the harddrive case.
    Not only that the air will push through AGP/PCI1 slot!!!
    It actually cools your video card, too!!

    I'm very impressed with this case.


    Only thing bad is that the noise lvl is quite high.
    Strengths
    stock fan
    2200mhz @ stock v-core (200 X 11)
    2300mhz @ 1.75v (200 X 11.5)
    2400mhz @ 1.95v (200 X 12.0)

    Going higher than 2400mhz is near impossible with air cooling.

    I bought the same case in blue. I like it but replaced the PSU because my 3.3V kept dropping below 3V.

    ,,,

    I am interested in this case -- although I'd buy one without a PSU included.

    The other case I'm looking at is the Lian-Li PC60U.

    Can anyone with both compare the two?

    In Canada I can get the Turbo Gamer w/o PSU for ~$150. The Lian-Li w/o PSU goes for ~$173.

    I must say, I'm impressed.

    Aluminum case is so light, too!
    I can move it around easily~

    I can use it as a part of my home theatre with TV-out~
    (see downloaded videos p*rn/anime/hentai...etc. on big screen with loud speakers... it beats my tiny 17" comp monitor)
