The motor support stays (from motor to frame) appear very aerodynamic in profile, compared to most other designs.

Although Bluefront can forget it if he's still on dial-up

Thanks for the review. Will you be testing the Ultima-90?

The latest revision S12's appear to have done away with any vents: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article753-page2.html

Formula 1 wheel case. One large fan at the top (behind the spokes), blowing upwards/outwards, and wheel mounted 5mm off the ground for air to enter at the bottom. These wheels come up regularly on eBay. A very sexy lump of magnesium.

As per title. Can’t see it mentioned on their site.

Browsing the Silverstone site for something else and noticed these. Anyone tried them yet?

Suscool 121 – 400~950rpm @ 31~60 ℃

Suscool 81 – 900~1750rpm @ 31~60 ℃

It certainly looks flash, in a cool way. I'm not fully understanding the airflow in and around the HDD tower - maybe someone here can explain.

P150 tray is 130mm wide - just measured it.

anakintjc might want to contact NoVibes to see if they plan Sonata versions.

I’m sure the P150/Solo trays are wider. 130mm, IIRC. The extra width is to accommodate the optional hdd suspension.

It's MUGEN, as in the Honda tuners.

beaten to it - page didn't refresh.

Transmissions from mobile (cell) phone masts, is one theory I've heard.

Does this include the photos stored in Yahoo! Groups?

The Eclipse is one of just a few cases that can be modded to take 140mm fans. In theory bigger fans can achieve a better cfm/dB ratio than smaller fans. A few companies make good 140’s including Yate Loon. Also add NoiseBlocker BlackSilent to your 120 short-list - tested by SPCR and found to be as...

In the real World, where function favours form, I’d guess steel cases out-number alu versions by about 100-1. But spend time on OcUK case forum, and similar I-may-have-a-small-willy-but-I’ve-got-a-Lian-Li forums, and you could be forgiven for thinking otherwise.

I also remember the Sonata was once quoted as having 1mm thick panels, and now the Sonata III is 0.8mm according to Antec. 1mm on Antec’s spec sheet, correct, but it was only the internal bay areas, the rest was 0.7/0.8mm. (I don’t know anything about the MK3). Btw, I’ve corrected my previous...

So what's the relationship between Abbe and Soldam, because they're very similar style, including anodised insides.

The Solo is made of 1mm steel throughout, versus the NSK's 0.8mm. The Solo also has dampened panels, and air filter.

Nice looking.......but. This case is designed exactly like so many others that were complete flops in the cooling department. Just how does Nexus expect enough air to enter the case through the small opening at the bottom of the front bezel? You have the PSU fan blowing out, the rear case fan blowi...

Potential airflow problem: notice that there seems to be none at all in the top half of the case? There should be a second blue arrow on that first photo, because the PSU will suck airflow across the mobo and graphics card. Looks like I was wrong about Soldam, this site seems active: http://www3.so...

Very similar style to Soldam cases (Soldam went bust, IIRC).

Tiny ATX/MicroATX design, but being alu, no doubt more style than silence potential. http://www.nexustek.nl/morpho_premium_aluminum_pc_case.htm http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/1791/airflowci3.jpg http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/3090/mbbpo8.jpg http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/7770/morphoopen...

The inside interface. Just a couple of tiny holes in the top for pressure balance(?) and a sideways cut next to the cable hole, which is rather spacious.

Just a couple of 'tiny holes', so next to no warm air pumped back into the case. A good improvement over the current version

You can also find Sorbothane domed feet on eBay.

If I'm seeing that Thermalright case right, the heatsinks look like the condenser on a window AC unit. You look at the fins too hard and they bend inward. You couldn't carry the things easily.......the pressure of your fingers will dent the fins. And look terrible......you can buy a little comb-lik...

Greetings, An aside: this is a feature of the Antec Solo that I really like! You can flip the PSU around the way that it fits best... :o Turn the PSU upside down?

Failing that, and you still need a decent cheap case, you can't do much worse than the Antec NSK6000 (£30)
