Whoa.... And I wanted to buy one of those boxes with the giant fan on the side.

Hopefully the interior wasn´t so bad no ?

Naw, I thought it would be.. but there is such a massive air-flow in that thing that it blows all the dust right back out, of course, there were some sticking to the cpu and gpu coolers but not anything worth taking a picture for.

Its definitely worth getting one with a large side-fan..

1. there is less chance of heat-pockets developing in the case
2. the larger the fan, the quieter it is
3. you should clean your case at least once a year anyway so dust isn't that bad
4. with a larger side-fan, the dust may be hanging there (like in the pic), but it doesn't really noticeably block the airflow

I've got an antec 900 and it's a vacuum cleaner in disguise. Mind you 2 cats and 5 fans makes for a dusty experience after a couple of month!!

Nice case btw :)

I've found there are better alternatives than cats for cleaning out PCs.

I'm waiting to increase the fan speed so I can suck one of the furballs through the PC. That'll make it clean!! ;)
