I am thinking whether I should put my 3 year old Zebronics Jamaica to rest and get a new cabby. My rig seems to be out growing it at a fast pace. :ashamed:
Requirements
Support for installation of 7~8 HDD with proper ventilation and/or airflow with fans.
Aleast 3 x 5.25 Inch bays remaining even after installation of 7~8 HDD. i.e for one Optical drive and one dual bay fan controller.
Support for multiple 120mm fans at key spots. i.e atleast 2~3 120mm or one 250mm fan on the side panel. 1~2 120mm on the back for exhaust, and intake for front. 1~2 on the top. (I dont care about the noise, I already have 6 x 120mm high CFM and 2 x 80mm in my Jamaica cabby)
Inverted Layout (i.e PSU on the bottom and mobo on top) preferable.
Removable motherboard tray preferable.
Tool Free design preferable.
Weight <= Weight of my Jamaica i.e 15Kg and as spacious as Jamaica.
as quoted by Eazy sir [quote] @Saiyan - this Case is not that good either, when I got it the HDD temps were around 43C during the cooler rainy days, the airflow from front intake fan was blocked by a nylon air filter and a Aluminum plate with holes which restricts the air a lot, and lastly the holes on the sides of the HDD cradle are very small for good airflow. So I removed the nylon filter and cut out the Aluminum plate using a Jigsaw I also joined the holes on the side of the HDD tray by cutting out the metal between the holes - the HDD temps now on a HOT no-rain day is 36C. Of course I have added the extra fan on the inner side of the HDD cage which you can see on the right hand side in the pictures, in the first picture this has a Blue Vantec fan and in the second picture I have changed this fan to a 4 colour LED Amigo fan. This one extra fan really drops temps of HDDs GFX card CPU and North/South bridge chips.
This case has 4 120mm fans on the side panel and these 4 fans like the name of the case gives a BIG FAT “ZERO” drop in temps to CPU and GFX card and the North and South bridge chips. All these 4 120mm fans seem to be good for is to throw dust into the case. I dont power these side panel fans - really makes no sense to run them because of their lack of cooling.
This case came with 7 120mm and 1 80mm fans (all fans are included)
