Oh wow. Thats a sweet case, the airflow! He is amazing. sigh, if I only had the mula, i'd get one of those. An Option with a side window would be nice imho.

First off.. nice review BigAkita. The case definitely has big potential. Actually, in my research for making a Quiet/WC'ed rig, I cam across this at silentpcreview.com. Except for a few additional highlights, it is the same case.

This case at Coolcases.com with fan modifications done and 2 120mm fans ran me $112 including shipping. Just got to do the front bezel mod yourself. No biggy for the people around here though.

I love a through review and Bigakita delivered without missing a beat as usual.

SC195 window option just may happen. In fact, mnpctech will be the first case mod business to offer a Waterjet cutting
service exclusively to Modders. I just sent out my first panels to be later displayed as examples on my site.

I know Jim (the owner) and he actually came to mnpctech wondering what other types or additional mods could be done to the case. He hires me to do unique mods for Coolcases. Just ask him Jim Hanson

What salex101 neglected to mention is that Coolcases sells 4 variations of the case. salex101 bought an level l pkg with factory fans, No PSU, fan controller, 92mm intake Its not the same case. Coolcases most comperable package to the SC195 is also $189 and thats without customized intake grill. They also don't offer a recessed handle option either

As for the intake grill being no biggy, it did involve a lot of trial and error on several of these to get it right. If it was gonna be easy for everybody, why would I bother? People don't tolerate a case mod that doesn't work reliably.

Thanks as always to pimprig for allowing me to tell people whats really up

mnpctech, I knew you had to be involved with that case somehow. Although I have been seeing your Modder's Mesh all over lately. Read a good review on it just a little while ago.

BTW, I'm still floored at how quiet your SC195 is. I've kept all the fans on high can barely hear it.

Truley and I can't wait till people get it in their hands and realize in person what we're talking about. Speaking of which, somebody will and I can actually hear the wheels turning in this forum

holy cow, I cannot wait to see what these people come up with!

Great review as always, BA.

I have to point out an error though. On "Knight Rider" KITT was a Pontiac Firebird, not a Camaro.

Was it? I even checked that on a couple websites. If it's wrong I'll change it.

Yup its a transam..the firebird was slightly different, and had a nice bird on the hood. My brother has a 1984 red transam, its exactly like the knight rider car, And I watched that show when a kid too. Im 26

As to the case, I love to have one. Do you do a chamelion color scheme on the cases mnptech?

Thanks guys, made the change to reflect Trans Am instead of Camaro. It was a 1982 (some say 1982 1/2) to be exact. Later models were used for some later shows. It ran through 1986.

you know, i always had this thought in the back of my mind. i always knew there was one very large flaw with all of mnpctech's cases. this case finally helped me put my finger on it.. i suppose its a design flaw.. although not his fualt.



they have yet to make hardware that is deserving of any of his cases.. I honestly dont know what i would do with one of these cases.. putting my current hardware in a rig like that would be like taking Angelina jolie on a date to mcdonalds.
yet again, great work man.. and awseome reveiw BA.. ill be working hard on a bussinus card.

lol, great analogy Slug..

The SC195 doesn't have Bling, but its got Zing. hey, that will be my new slogan Seriously though, you guys can add your own unique visual mods to a solid performer. All the ground work is already done.

If I can sell enough if these, then someday I can sell a
manufactured custom rig of my own design. That is my goal.
