That is the sex 

But the way I'm going with computers now is as small, low power and quiet as possible, even if I was putting together a gaming PC I don't think I'd want to use a full tower, but then TBH I don't think I'd go down the water cooling route, for which this case would be awesome!

I'm with you on this. It looks amazing but I'd rather a bunch of small computers that are deathly quiet rather than something stupid powerful and noisy.

Actually more into running VM's though I'd like a nice 4 card system for CUDA cracking hashes, passwords and bitcoins.

The case arrived, looks fabulous, I really mean that...

Unfortunately it was assembled by gorillas trained by monkeys, someone broke one of the rear catches holding the sides on during final assembly. The thumbscrews used were also excessively overtightened.

I'm now waiting for aria to respond if they are going to send out a replacement part or I'm going to RMA it.

can you not get a replacement / order another and hope that one was a Friday afternoon case ?


you can always rma again if you get another duff one ?

At the moment there's my XFX Radeon HD6870 graphics card, Coolermaster GX 750watt PSU and spare DVD rewriter in my bro's Corsair Carbide Series 500R case. It also has his Intel I5-2500K CPU although it still at stock speed and has a standard Intel cooler on, Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 motherboard and 8GB Kingston DDR 3 1600mhz Hyper X RAM.

It's working with the Win 8 preview at the moment but can be switched to Win7, so no rush to get this sorted.

That's displaying on the 47" 1080p screen in the front room. As to how we'll separate the bits again, I don't know. I tend to have some of his components and he's usually got some of mine.
