    No kidding, I'm still trying to figure out exactly what a sports case is. I know what the purpose of a sports walkman or watch is, they take a little more shock as you jog and they can handle a little rain. I want to be the first to see someone jogging with their 60 pound sports PC. LOL

    Cozza: Yes I do think that's the scorpion case (4x5.25 +2x3.5 if i'm not mistaken). Doesnt it also go by the name XAlien? or am i thinking another case?

    EyesHurt: hehe thx for the suggestion but to be honest i actually dont like those cases ... not for asthetic or cooling reasons but more along the lines that I see a lot of those cases where some punk thinks he's got a 1337 r1g and acts all cool and then next thing you know its really just something like a Pentium4-1.6 in the box hehe (kinda the way I dont like the Chenming AX601 anymore because it's overused and for the same reason hehe). Thx for the suggestion tho hehe :D

    I think they have more 3.5 Bays then that. I built a system for my sisters bf in a case similar to that by Scorpion as he liked it. This was a while ago. They are an OK case, but its basically a Midi Case with a weird look, thats all

    Regards

    Weird does kinda seem right especially with the "design" on the side Window ... i suppose I'd like it a lot more if they made that design on the front backlit or something flashy ... as it is it does seem like a cheap attempt to get into the mod-case market :)

    Yea, it wasnt a bad case, i think you could fit a fan at the back, 1 on the window, and either 1 or 2 on the front.
    I wouldnt mind 1 similar if they made them BIGGER as in more 5.25 slots. Im currently using all 4 of mine and wanting to do some mods when i get some $$$ so ill be in the same problem as Praetor... lol

    Reminds me of some "other" cases:

    Oh and the other case that we've been calling the Scorpion is acutally the Raidmax Cobra. As for front cooling I am liking this technique of a direct access intake fan (even though its a puny 80mm hehe and the fact that the case doesnt meet the other more important specs hehe)

    Actually its a Scorpion Xsonic Cobra Case.

    Raidmax is just the 400W Power Supply is has.

    That 3rd case is the 1 i was talking about the PC i built for a friend. The Xsonic Scorpio II.

    That one with the horns is godawful ugly! I'd probably think it was the coolest thing going if I was half my age.

    This is more my style.

    LOL very true hehe ... damn I miss being young hehe :p

    That's an awefully sleek case there too! I think I had my "sleek" phase couple years back until my precious rig was scratched (a silver one too and I didnt have a silver marker so I couldn't fix It like I can with a black case). Now I go for the "rugged beast that can run over damn near anything" kinda look hehe (and black only, even If I have to repaint It because I can fix scratches with a permanent marker hehe).

    Looks like a Chieftec Dragon Series ATX Full Tower case that has been modded a bit. Look at tigerdirect.com in computer cases then full tower. Not sure, but sure looks the same.
    Also look here:
    http://directron.com/da01bd.html

    6x 5.25 ext
    2x 3.5 ext
    6x 3.5 hdd int
    5x 80 fans
    no power supply

    Too many photos, I bet Da Boss is groaning about bandwidth...
    I never thought it would happen but I think I need a case-project: my CPU temperature is getting over 60C under load in my present case (and I'm looking at an XP3200+) so, something's gotta give.

    Just think Praetor, if all 22 of those hard drives were Hitachi 400GB you'd have something in the neigborhood of 8.8 terabytes :) That would last you for maybe a week or so.
