    Hey, whats goin wrong, the coolermaster dominator i posted is listed, just the link wont work, here it is, hope it works this time.

    KamiKazi, none of your links work

    I'm also opting for this corsair psu for my own rig, give the young fella my noisy Ocz 600w. Any opinions? I hear the Thermaltake ones are noisy


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭KamiKazi


    They work fine for me :/

    But they were the NZXT Blackline cases, red & green versions


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,401 ✭✭✭✭Anti


    the nzxt case is known for not great airflow. The coolermaster dominator is pretty good for airflow with its plethora oof fans. As for the psu why not get the 620w and put the money saved to a few fans for his case ?

    I had below case, quiet, decent fans, I loved it, only €45 too

    Thermaltake Matrix VX looks a good case..

    Heres another strong contender.

    Sqaull20, I'm liking the Coolermaster, but not that it only has a 90mm front fan. Hate the Thermaltake.

    ATM its a toss up between the CM90 and the Lian-li although the young fella isn't gone on the Lian-li, bit of persuasion involved

    Edit, FNZ, you posted same case at same time

    Arr, but look at the quality of her innards! [Link]

    Ok, his decision is made, & just before bedtime. Coolermaster Dominator CM90 wins. I tried to talk him round to the Lian-Li but its the outer looks that wins it (keeps 20e in my pocket in the process)

    He's only 9 & he's delighted with it, here's his rigs full specs:
    Intel e6600 Core 2 Duo
    Abit Aw9d-Max
    2Gb Ocz Platinum Pc6400, might pick another 2Gb on adverts
    500Gb Samsung 16Mb cache
    XFX 256Mb 7900GT Volt modded with Zalman (will be oc'ed 2 handle Oblivion)
    Creative Audigy 2 Zs (meh 2 Creative but i already have it lyin round)
    Dell 19' Monitor
    OCZ 600w GameXtream psu

    He's mostly in2 older games, HL2, HL2 Ep 1, CSS, Quake4, DOOM3, COD2, FEAR, Oblivion etc so the gpu will do him fine. He can always play the newer games on my rig.


    Thanks all

    Pog
