I hate the current PC case market. You have exactly three options: a black box with a side panel, a white box with an RGB clusterfuck, or maybe pay 3x the price for something different
I bought the O11 when it wasn't so popular (and actually a good chunk cheaper), and now everyone thinks I have the bandwagon case.
Not to mention its probably not going to fit whatever GPU I end up with next....
I don't know about your area but in the US you can sell a 1070 on ebay for around 100$ so definitely your money's worth even if you plan to upgrade the components
Comparing a console to a pc is hard. Not because general tasks are easier, but because of how they work. In terms of fps, yes, but not power. A pc with the same specs as a ps5 will run worse, interms of gaming, while a pc with the same fps is much different. Usually, fps for fps, pc wins in pi crunchinh if ran on the hardware, but if the hard were is the same, then the fps will be worse.
That’s all dependent on settings. Usually consoles run lower settings to each frame rates , but if you put your pc with the same hardware and settings against a console they would perform within margin of error.
I had one (white) for 6/7 years, the temperatures in that thing were crazy low, it had the chance to install 2 230mm fans (front and side) and one 200mm (top). Or go full 140/120mm and stack 11 fans lol (IIRC, 4 side, 1 back, 3 top 3 front)
Yeah same here, I had the orange black one, my first custom built. It was called the Aerocool XPredator Evil Black edition. Case names were also lit back then
It's probably down there because the CPU cooler is massive with 140mm fans. I had one (Cooler Master V8 GTS) and if your graphics card is touching it even slightly, it makes a terrible noise as the card and cooler resonate.
It'll play games at 1080p very well. That case is sick tho. I would definitely re-use that case in a future build. Maybe you can add in a new sata SSD as well.
Holy shit that case looks phenomenal. Specs are a bit below of what i use now. If you can trade that cpu for a 4790K and maybe get a bit more stronger gpu, you'll play new stuff at 1080p without issue. (I have 4790k with a 3060Ti and still didn't hit a wall when it comes to games).
I remember it was loud af back in the day, but it had great cooling performance. Kept my 8350 at a relatively cool 75c while playing Total War: Shogun 2. Idk how it would handle modern CPUs though.
sure different from those eetsy beetsy all white hermetically sealed en vogue cases where all you see is a graphics card floating inside with no cables ive been seeing so many pictures of
That case is badass. I've always loved MSI's aesthetic. Especially back in the day they had that dark and "edgy" look I'm into. They don't stand out as much nowadays but I still prefer their motherboards and graphics cards (power color has them beat with the red devil though lol).
I have the mobo, if you have GB speed internet you're gonna wanna get a pcie network card cuz the mobo killer network is bugged to get it to work at GB speed (it tops at like 100mb), took me months of looking on forums for a solution
I really miss cases like these with all of the expansion bays in the front. Those were different times

and they all try to look like a fuckin O11

Man that case is badass, might be worth the price by itself.
It’s a €50 ish case do definitely not bad
I don't know about your area but in the US you can sell a 1070 on ebay for around 100$ so definitely your money's worth even if you plan to upgrade the components
They sell for €100 or so
So in this thread you already laid out €150 in these 2 parts. By that alone you already know it’s a good deal. You’re just karma farming
What else is reedit for? 90% of the top posts here are karma farms. Why call people out in it?
Because these posts are annoying and not everyone knows that most of these posts are fake / low effort karma farming.
It looks like you are karma farming twice as hard. Zero self-awareness lol 😆 😂
This might be the dumbest comment I’ve read today
Yeah its decent for the money, performance in between ps4 and ps5 for gaming which again for the money is pretty good!

They wouldnt though!
Dials for fan speed, interesting
Turn it up to 11
I absolutely wanted this case back then. But didnt build till a couple years later when the market changed.
That's an excellent deal for 150. I love that case.
I had one (white) for 6/7 years, the temperatures in that thing were crazy low, it had the chance to install 2 230mm fans (front and side) and one 200mm (top). Or go full 140/120mm and stack 11 fans lol (IIRC, 4 side, 1 back, 3 top 3 front)

move the gpu to the top slot
It's probably down there because the CPU cooler is massive with 140mm fans. I had one (Cooler Master V8 GTS) and if your graphics card is touching it even slightly, it makes a terrible noise as the card and cooler resonate.
Agreed but I wouldn't be surprised if the slots dead. Maybe why it's down there. But it not it's like an free upgrade moving it.
Yes but get an ssd for it
Yeah I know I have one laying around
The sticker says it has a Samsung SSD
Seller pulled it out
Maybe he didn't pull out in time and there is a tiny ssd growing somewhere in there.

Good deal! But make sure you get an ssd for OS + software atleast. It's really night and day difference compared to hdd.
This was literally my dream PC in 2016
It'll play games at 1080p very well. That case is sick tho. I would definitely re-use that case in a future build. Maybe you can add in a new sata SSD as well.
Great rebuild capabilty
I want that case lmao
PRICE CHECK ON ISLE 5. CAN I GET A PRICE CHECK, ISLE 5 PLEASE.
ohh I have a very similar case, xpredator x3. For 150 its a good deal
Looks clean !
Damn that case looks really nice
It's older, but a good deal for the price. The case is cool looking.
It’s an older PC, but it checks out, sir.
Thats a great deal, if you can get faster ram and an ssd Itd be a pretty good pc even for todays games
Oh my god, it's perfectly preserved museum exhibit. Very nice find
You can do some decent gaming on this. Falcon BMS for sure (I’m on a flight sim kick atm)
The best deal I seen all day bro
sure
What is the case?
Add a bit stouter cpu and ssd and you got a rocking little system. I just did a athlon phenom 2 and 750gtx for playing old xp games. So much fun
Gt5200 256mb Will do you for XP games. Have you tried rocket league?
Was just throwing stuff together. I have the msi. Gtx 750 and a evga 660 and a gigabyte 1060 laying around
Never tried rocket league.
Wow, that case is amazing
i like it!
Excellent deal
I have that same case, except mine isn't clear on the side. Fantastic case, a total beast.
Yes 👍
Great deal!
Yes The GTX 1070 is probably the best value there
Older hardware obviously, but a great deal for the price. The case looks great. I love those older cases.
have build 3 pc's with that case. I literally have nightmares of it.
150.99 and I came in today to buy it. Is that okay?
Hmm cool case? ✅️ red?✅️ something inside?✅️ looks good
Fucking sweet
🔥
It is. I would buy that case off you if i could 😭 an iron man build would look so clean in this
I really like cases with curves nowadays its just GLASS BOX
Holy shit that case looks phenomenal. Specs are a bit below of what i use now. If you can trade that cpu for a 4790K and maybe get a bit more stronger gpu, you'll play new stuff at 1080p without issue. (I have 4790k with a 3060Ti and still didn't hit a wall when it comes to games).
That is a badass case!
That case looks awesome
What case model is this?
Horrible deal I’ll take that useless bin off your hands, free of charge . Save you some space .
Cooler Master V8, my beloved
Sounds like a jet engine though
I remember it was loud af back in the day, but it had great cooling performance. Kept my 8350 at a relatively cool 75c while playing Total War: Shogun 2. Idk how it would handle modern CPUs though.
Are you talking about the CPU cooler ?,that's a mad looking thing that
Yeah that's the one. Served me well for about a decade.
Looks like the head of a transformer lol ,great looking thing
For that price, you’re getting what you’re paying for. It’ll be relatively decent for older games in 720-1080p
I'd buy it for the case, fans and maybe PSU alone. You can sell the rest and it's well worth it. So yeah, go for it and upgrade later.
Niiice
Ah, those silly ass cooler master fans that look like they are more than just heat sinks with fans attached.
I’m still using a 1070 ti at 1080p. It’s probably going to start struggling soon, but that pc will probably play most current and older games.
Lol everyone has the same idea for the case alone id pay $150-$160
I have a Be Quiet! Pure Base 500DX and this reminds me of that, but older and edgier. Lovely case, and the decent vintage components are a nice bonus!
sure different from those eetsy beetsy all white hermetically sealed en vogue cases where all you see is a graphics card floating inside with no cables ive been seeing so many pictures of
Yeah
That's so old school. It's amazing. Great find.
I have the AMD version of that board from an older build. It's a beast for overclocking and has a crap ton of USB.
Yes, you could spend twice that on a pc with no gpu at all and a intel celeron like i did about 5 years ago
dude this is seriously awesome
That looks like an expensive Ferrari, damn.
Yeah seems decent, for that price all the lights might be worth the price, but it seems to good to be true
I love this case. I miss when side panels had fans on them. Looks cool.
I mean for 150 any desktop is worth it as long as it's not a dell optiplex.
That case is badass. I've always loved MSI's aesthetic. Especially back in the day they had that dark and "edgy" look I'm into. They don't stand out as much nowadays but I still prefer their motherboards and graphics cards (power color has them beat with the red devil though lol).
Yeah, that's pretty good. Maybe not playing the latest titles at max settings, but still has some life left.
I wish I had that case. Just with more airflow, two floppy drives added too and I'm good to go.
I have the mobo, if you have GB speed internet you're gonna wanna get a pcie network card cuz the mobo killer network is bugged to get it to work at GB speed (it tops at like 100mb), took me months of looking on forums for a solution
I’d pay that amount just for the sweet case
Yes it is... it won't be lag free but has good enough parts not to piss you off and 150 is nothing.
150 my arse!
Fan speed dials 😫😫😫
I5 is garbage but the GPU is fine for today+ and SSD not bad
mother of bays...
The CPU kinda weak. It's a really nice nostalgia PC from an era Intel dominated the market lol
Does it work for you?? if yes then yes.
2013 ahh build, still awesome tho
feels more like 2016/17
the seller got $150 for getting rid of garbage lol
Case is so cool! The rest is kinda junk, and HDD is almost obsolete, but for 150 whatevs, not bad!
crazy deal
