bought 2 of em 3/4 year ago, are they good? now i become interesting in OCing... and just wondering if a better case will provide better performance. oh yes, i also found an EXACTLY same spire CPU cooler on newegg, same type of tag too!! and the newegg one claims that it moves 40+ CFM at 4000/4500 RPM. mine goes to 3400 rarely, and spins at 3200 / 3300 RPM. why????
Spire Blackfin Iii A Good Case?

different fans installed... design maybe exactly the same but they might change the case fans to something better or more powerful...
or newegg might have put a wrong description which i highly doubt happened...

is this the one you are talking about?

that looks ok... it has an air duct right on top of the heat sink would be so it should be ok...

The airflow is pretty bad seeing it only has one rear 80mm fan. The airduct will help the CPU a bit but the rest of the case will heat up pretty quickly.
agreed.... i have my 1.3 ghz and 2.8 ghz in it. it has 2 fans places, one right above the CPU fan, and vents at the bottom of the sides... i put a fan suckin out at back , and a fan blowing in with a tunnel at the CPU fan, and a CPU cooler's fan in the vent blowing in too. (the CPU fan one is like right above the video card)
