    Thanks for all the help guys, will tell you what build i finally decided to get in a few weeks when i can buy it :D

    Hey do the computer case come with the fans included or do you need to buy them separately?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭IrishMetalhead


    depending on the case but yea, lower end cases will have 1 or 2 fans pre installed and higher end cases will have 3+ fans included

    The 2nd one doesn't actually look like that, the first picture is the HAF XM which is €110. Sure looks sexy :D

    damn i knew its was too cool to be that price


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭IrishMetalhead


    all four of those cases have 1 fan but that should be enough for you need plus i stay clear of those low end thermaltake cases, they my look nice but there noisey as hell.
    but if your after a good case this is possibly the best budget case currently out:
    http://www2.hardwareversand.de/Midi/49485/Antec+One+Hundred%2C+ATX%2C+ohne+Netzteil.article
    Comes wth 2 excaust fans which is more then enough and it also has a built in fan controller

    how do you know theirs only 1 fan i cant see it on the site and is one enough?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭IrishMetalhead


    I've seen reviews of them also it says in there descriptions :D
    Not to meantion I worked with a few of them before


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,600 ✭✭✭Eboggles


    That's a damn old case though, the Shinobi is only a few € more, would it not be worth spending a tiny bit extra?

    depends cause the shinobi has a few extras over the one hundred but the airflow isn't as good but does have front panel usb 3.0 and looks abit better so it's really on what you need more altho if you get a motherboard that dosn't have a usb 3 front header i would go with the one hundred


  • Registered Users Posts: 107 ✭✭conorhickey


    might just get the merc


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭IrishMetalhead


    cant go wrong with the merc, it's a solid case espiecally at it's price point

    Yeh saw a review and the guy was surprised at how amazing it is for its price


  • Registered Users Posts: 107 ✭✭conorhickey


    Its a but annoying they ad on an extra 20 euro when you pay through paypal :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,710 ✭✭✭Monotype


    Yeah, an extra 3%. It makes them a little less competitive. Check scan.co.uk, for the items and sometimes you can get better value (though their shipping can get steep). You won't find Superflower PSUs there so you'd have to find an alternative.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,690 ✭✭✭✭Skylinehead


    The XFX PSUs on scan are probably the best.


  • Registered Users Posts: 107 ✭✭conorhickey


    Hey i accidentally sent in a order do hardwareversand.de send the build out immediately or do they wait till payment cause i wasnt ready to confirm this yet :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭IrishMetalhead


    they wait for payment first, 2 weeks without payment the order gets canceled automaticly
