My new case!

Just picked up an Antec 200 case, and I have to say I love it a lot! It's got a 120mm rear fan, 140mm top fan, and a spot for 2x 120mm front fans which I have installed. One of the nicest features, is the built in hard drive docking station! This is what sold me on the case, I was already liking it.
I also picked up a card reader and installed it today when I move everything to this case. Now I have the future option of installing a full ATX board.

Anyway, here's some pics :good:

Coolermaster R4's up front? Great case fans.

I really hate to say it, but i hate the front of the antec 200. Looks utterly horrible imo, and i know a lot of people who agree with me on it. One of the few ugly cases antec makes.

Yup, they are virtually silent and pull 90cfm each. I'm gonna snag another one for the rear because the fans included don't really flow much. Need a decent 140mm up top too, again barely flows any air for such a large fan.

Well, I'm not crazy about the looks, in fact when I see it in the pics on newegg and stuff I don't like it. But it's kinda different in person. You ever see one up close in person? I honestly did feel the way you do until I saw it. But also, the functionality way overcompensates for the looks.

Yeah i got a friend with one, didnt like it.
 
Hey, does your board support dual channel memory? If it does you better put those ram sticks in the right spot! or is that how they do dual channel on your board? My board has 2 yellow slots and 2 black slots.

Where did you get the multicard reader with audio jacks?

At the local computer store. IMO not bad for $16! 3 usb ports, HD audio, firewire port, Esata port, and the card reader.

Yeah of course dual channel. Why are they not in the correct spot? The sticks are in slots 1 and 2 :confused:

Some motherboards set up dual ch ram different. some have slot 1 and 2 linked together and osme have 1 and 3 linked together. Just check in bios to see if it says dual or use cpuz. if it says dual your fine.

You can do better than that. Get a dremel and cut a few holes on bottom and side for wires to run out. All those wires in there will increase ur temps by decreasing air flow.

Yeah for me...dual channel for two sticks has to be in slot 1 and 3...id check if i was you.
 
yea besides the two empty slots are the same color and their usually color coordinated... my old asus m2n32 sli deluxe was like that right next to each other...but never hurts to check.
