Has anyone used this supplier to get parts from because I'm looking at Getting stuff from them but haven't heard of them before.

[mfraser]

They've been around for years..... I used them about 15 years ago for my first PC!! I don't know how competitive they are price wise, but (Albeit way back then) their service was great.......

It is the lowest price and only RED HAF 922 Case I could find.

That's certainly a beast of a case!!! Are you going with air or water cooling??

[kcgb]

Still haven't decided. Was looking at a Cosair H70 or Antec KÃœHLER H20 920 water cooler but I might go with a beast of an air cooler called the Noctura NH-D14.

They were one of the main places I went to when I needed computer parts before we had pricespy - just from comparing a handful of websites their prices were pretty good, and there was generally parking outside the door (they're in the Valley Rd shops in Dominion Rd, so that was important when you were carrying big heavy bits of computer )

I never had a bad or (comparatively) expensive experience there, and would certainly buy from them again.

Having said that, if you can find a local store with the same thing in stock and you take them in a printout of somebody elses website page, most places will price match and if not just buy the one online.

I would reconcider the water cooler. I've always regreted not going that way and bought a huge Scythe Mugen air cooler. Giant heat sinks crowd the case, restrict ram slot acsess and ram hieght and they are so heavy they can flex the motherboard. The new generation sealed water coolers however are compact, silent, fit on motherboards with large heatsinks that would otherwise get in the way of an air cooler, extremely efficient and to me are a no-brainer. I will defianately upgrade to an H2O system for my next PC upgrade.
They are however about 30% more than a high end air cooler but I now believe they are worth it.

As it turns out I may have to get a case like this myself....... although maybe not in red!! The new Asus Maximus and MSI Big Bang Marshall boards are extended-ATX or XL-ATX and need a specialised case to fit!!

The HAF 922 can only go up to ATX, But the HAF 932 can fit an E-ATX board and a HAF X can fit an XL-ATX.

Hey thanks for that...... saves me Googling all night and getting in strife with the Mrs!! Off topic - my other option is to go for a GA-P67A-UD7-B3 which is a standard ATX motherboard......

[kcgb]

I'm going with a Asus board so i can overclock while I'm in windows.

Case showed up today, But I went all out and got the HAF X instead. MASSIVEcase

So you will rip your dads V8 engine out of his prize ford/holden and use that for the fan to cool it down

You can never have enough fans, but it does get noisy after a while :/
