| 1308272 | 2012-10-23 06:11:00 | no psu at the bottom... you sir are controversial. and you don't need to have the fan facing downwards, with nowadays case design airflow should not be a problem like that. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1308273 | 2012-10-23 06:55:00 | I just have my pc sitting on a flat bit of wood (old shelf) so I don't need to have my psu fan up, allowing for my gpu to be slightly cooler (gotta squeeze a few mhz out somehow :p). | icow (15313) | ||
| 1308274 | 2012-10-23 07:15:00 | Raidmax... 4421 What's wrong with them? |

| 1308275 | 2012-10-23 07:39:00 | This is taken from a review of the RAIDMAX Helios: It's certainly cheap, but we're not feeling all that cheerful. Build: Poorly assembled, dodgy tool-less options. Value: You're not quite getting what you pay for. Cooling: Lots of fans, but badly secured. Features: Pretty average on this front. Even worse, when you consider the excellent BitFenix Shinobi is cheaper and much better, the Helios simply becomes impossible to recommend in any way. - 48/100 Atomic PC On top of making some of the worst PSU's known to mankind RAIDMAX is yet to produce anything I would consider buying. |

| 1308276 | 2012-10-23 07:45:00 | mmm its true that their PSU's are actually rated 100% below their marketed rating. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||

You don't buy them with PSU. Without, no worse than the bog standard ones you get with ready built PCs. |

| 1308278 | 2012-10-24 03:46:00 | Ok I get the idea. | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1308279 | 2012-10-24 10:12:00 | Raidmax is a joke. I would rather buy a Foxconn, which I reckon are better. They're not *really* cheap and flimsy like laminated tinfoil, but they're not expensive either. And you get a free Hyena PSU to ... have fun with. And the soldering job on the Hyena is going to be better than the Raidmax PSUs. Go figure! |

| 1308280 | 2012-10-24 20:32:00 | I change computers regularly and have tried numerous cases. The cheap ones are mainly rubbish. My favourite brand is Lian Li. Aluminiam(?) ones are easy to move around. My present one in an Antec 1200. This is the coolest running one yet.BUT it weighs about half a ton. I can't pick it up. |

| 1308281 | 2012-10-24 21:08:00 | Antec make good cases for reasonable prices. I also like coolermaster cases although they aren't perfect they are pretty good at the price. Silverstone are good, but not that cheap and a little finicky to build in at times Lan-Li look awesome but are expensive Thermaltake I think are well designed but I don't like the looks of most of them and personally do not like doors on the front of PCs I've gone away from cheap mid tower cases like I always used to use. They are ok but can be tight to build a gaming PC in and difficult to work on compared to a larger case. I currently have a coolermaster storm trooper and I love it, very easy to work on and everything just fits, and curiously they ditched most of the screwless design used on cheaper models. Also if I lose my Job I can put my bed in there and move in. |
