It seems the exhaust fan is a 120mm TriCool. But what about the front intake fans? Are they two 120mm or two 80mm?

2 x 92mm.
Read more carefully next time...

I have to say I love the looks of this case. This could potentially be my next case. I have to see how my nexus breeze holds up after I upgrade to x2 rig.

Can you link the rest of that thread? Is it a review or a user's build?

I am SO excited about this case... <drool>
Judging from the URL, it's an unofficial SPCR sneak preview. :-)
I think I know who this is as well, and I didn’t have to check the other photos at that URL. Apart from the very tidy build being a clue, if I’m not mistaken that’s an Intel made mobo, and there’s only one person round here who uses those :wink:

Thanks Ralph :wink: :wink: A nice big filter area and a 92mm front fan - an excellent combo.

Here is a link to the page where I found the pic: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview ... erthread=y

I didn't know if I should post the link because I wasn't sure why it hadn't been posted here already... I think the case looks just fine, I have seen much worse :lol: What I am really interested in is the Neo-HE psu :D

I don't care about Neo-HE psu because i have already a powerfull psu, but the case is very interesting. Ok, i'll sell the Neo-HE in boundle with my case when i buy the P150 :lol: :wink:

that build is clearly an SPCR preview. Taking one look at that cable job its clear that Ralf did it. (not to mention i/ve seen that motherboard and RAM on other SPCR builds.

I know the side panels are damped, but as far as I can tell this thing is still made of aluminum. I know that the P180 has been successful due to its dampening on the side panels, but the P180 was still a really heavy case, somewhat eliminating the whole point of having an aluminum case. This thing doesn't looked as well damped, although it looks like they've taken care of the hard drive vibration problem. How are the case fans mounted? I could see the fans resonating the case a fair amount. I suppose only a review will tell how "noisy" the case is.

It's steel, not aluminum.

You needn't be Sherlock Holmes to make that deduction...the pic was posted in that Anand thread by Ralf himself. :lol:

There is no more to link to.

It's the only pic of my P150 build in existence, and it was supposed to be buried in an obscure thread.

So much for obscurity....
