So I was just at fry's today, minding my own business, and I found this case for $110. Its got a 360mm fan on the side, **** huge.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811215006

I was wondering if anyone has had experience working with this case? That fan has some serious bragging rights with it. I am looking at a few different cases for my up and coming build, among which are the antec 900, the nzxt tempest, and maybe this one. Is it any good, besides the fact that it has a 360mm fan?

P.S. Fry's seems to have good deals on cases, I found the antec 900 there for $100, whereas its $130 on newegg. They also had a better deal on this case with the monster ass fan...

They put that big intake on the front, and still managed to put a stupid door on the front of it.

On the bright side if you house's A/C fails you can take off the case's side door and put it in the window! The neighbors may wonder what that bright blue light is, but f'em if they can't take a joke! :pt1cable:

Someone just had to put a fan in a case larger that the Antec 900's top fan. Of course it being in the side panel.....I wonder it if gets in the way of larger coolers or gets against some of the larger VGA cards.

Shouldn't something called "El Diablo" be red?

Can't wait to hear what that case sounds like once the ball bearings start to go bad. :lol:

Good point about the fan possibly getting in the way of VGA cards/CPU coolers. Yeah I'm thinking Antec 900 or NZXT tempest right now, leaning towards the tempest actually. THG seemed to like it in the recent case review they did.

^ I'm going to stick with a mid tower. I'm a college student and I have to move back and forth between school twice a year... A full tower is just too big, I don't need all that space anyhow.

I wouldn't get that case with the 360mm fan, that thing will sound like a jet engine when you turn your computer on.
