I went to one of my local stores on Sunday and picked up a new case and while I was there i saw a few other things i liked and decided it was time to give the gaming rig a new make over. Especially after cracking the plexiglass in my Antec 900. So I decided to go with the Cooler Master Storm SNIPER case. Great cooling. Semi-Simple design, but still looks tough as hell. And most of all, SPACE. I upgraded from the Mid-Tower Antec Nine Hundred to the CM Full-Tower case. The new reservoir holds nearly twice as much coolant as the old swiftech MCRes2 I had before. Heres a few pictures.

Dont worry though the Nine Hundred still has a place, as I am building a new watercooled file server PC for the house using that case and an old P7N Diamond motherboard that I have laying around. Sporting 4gigs of ram, and an BFG 8800GTS 640MB GFX card

Why exactly does a file server need 4 gigs of RAM?
Please make PS3 rapid fire!!!!!!!!!!
Boycott the MW2 map pack, $15 is a rediculous price!

Case looks great what store did you get it from?
Lol just reading all of those specifications reaally confused me. Good to see you really know what youre doing though. Good luck with your project(s)

because it will be a file server, as well as an apache web server. and because i had the RAM just laying in a box anyways.
why would i look at more cases when i already built this?
