Yes that's the one, cost me $315 which is probably a bit much but everything cost more up in the far north, we are the end of the road. I'm very happy with it but and if you look at the price of buying the case and water set-up separately you are probably saving a few dollars.

It has a nice big front mounted Radiator and it gives you plenty of room for extra cooling for chipset and GPU. The case has good cable management and a tone of room.

The only things I have noticed that were a bit of a shame is the pump and tank position on the base doesn't line up with all 4 holes, so I just ended up using 2 and also the hose connection on the pump is going to make it difficult if I want to run SLI on my board.

All in all I think it's a great case and worth the money, but don't ask my partner that, as her view may be a little different, being that she hates me spending money on anything computer related...oh well lol

I know that feeling lols...

Ive had my armor case for about three years now...or therabouts...Absolutely love it. Cops some criticism for the drive mounting now days, but it was absolutely brilliant when it was released...Great case for air cooling...tonnes of room and ventilation.

Giving some thought into buying a Coolermaster Cosmos S as an upgrade, and rigging that as my watercooled unit. That case alone goes for about three hunjie....I reckon you got a bargain.

Considering that the watercooling setup that I want is going to cost another $300 on top of the case.....and then I will want a new CPU to mess with....then a new GPU..........sigh

Not that stable yet, failed OCCT in the first minute and failed Orthos after few seconds, might be memory timings or voltges that still need adjusting. Might give it another go tonight.

Re: Post Your Overclock Results.

I'm not sure who this was that said they were getting a 750i. But I remember like 3 or so people saying they wanted one. and someone said they were going to get the ASUS P5N- Nvidia 750i Motherboard. So I figured if you have not yet. then here is a GREAT deal on one. I almost want it just for a spare to thow my old Q6700 into.

If anyone wants it I'd jump on this.

Re: Post Your Overclock Results.

OK had a look at some of your previous post and tried for a similar clock, but I got some artefacts at those speeds so I tried a lower clock and here is the result.
