Just got my new case in (shell shocker for 140$) couldnt pass up that deal.

And here are some pics of the case, my room is slightly messy since we just built a new wall to split my room in half.

Here is the blackhawk ultra box behind my HAF 912 box

I will be posting pics of the build and teh case next the the HAF 912, and the regular rosewill blackhawk case since my stepfather owns that one. Be Back in a bit (or as long as the build takes me.)

9 120mm fans on the side?

Here it is, some words before the pictures. My thoughts on the build were that the case is a decent case for the price. The side panel is QUITE flimsy and installing fans is a bitch. The 3.5 bays (both internal and external) and not toolless as the box says and the external one is SO hard to work with. The front 5.25 panels are just retarted, they always fall out and just dont work. Behind the mobo tray is like a cavern, you could double up on 24 pins and have room to spare. The built in fans and fan hubs are awesome, the fans are quiet and th hubs allow you to connect 4 fans to a fan controller easily. The case itself is great to work with, the grommetted holes are spacious too so cable management is a breeze. The case is huge as you know, it doesnt even fit under my desk so make sure you have space for it. Also, carrying it is extremely difficult. Not because its heavy but becasue there is no place to hold it, the front panel is the bezel and thats only on by some plastic locks, and directly behind that is empty space. I had to carry it by the back and a front peg.
On to the build:

Here is my HAF next to my new case, quite a difference.

Here is my HAF 912 on its side with my 470's out

Some more shots of the two cases compared.

The HAF gutted and ready to be put into the blackhawk.

The back of my HAF with all of the wires managed. The side panel fit on fairly smoothly.

Our big dog making sure I didnt need any help

The puppy being punished for somthing.

The hard drives installed.

The mobo being installed.

Graphics cards, power supply, and fan controller installed.

Once its built I just set it and forget it

I only clean it infrequently if I think about it.

What are you going to do with the extra space in the case?
You could probably set up a clothes rack or something.
With the fans you could dry towels.

Maybe move the dog cage inside the case to reduce clutter in the house.

I was actually thinking of selling the house and just moving into the case
