GatsbyDyt · Post by **GatsbyDyt** » 02 Dec 2007, 18:36

The case isnt ugly but there are better looking ones.

ACE2003 · Post by **ACE2003** » 02 Dec 2007, 18:36

Show me some links to other cases that's not too expensive

Scavenger · Post by **Scavenger** » 02 Dec 2007, 18:37

The Smilodon is a very good case with lots of nice features, such as the fold down motherboard tray.. So its purely on aesthetics, and thats down to your personal taste.

I have no doubt about its features, but sas you said its purely personal taste on the looks front.

So you guys think the PC will rock or not?

WiK1d · Post by **WiK1d** » 02 Dec 2007, 22:06

Better CPU cooler

I34z1k · Post by **I34z1k** » 02 Dec 2007, 22:07

Yea. Usually you want a performance INCREASE over stock

ACE2003 · Post by **ACE2003** » 02 Dec 2007, 22:07

Like?

WiK1d · Post by **WiK1d** » 02 Dec 2007, 22:49

Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme, or cheaper the Thermalright Ultima 90

I34z1k · Post by **I34z1k** » 02 Dec 2007, 23:54

I have a modded 9500 that I might sell for cheap

douglash · Post by **douglash** » 03 Dec 2007, 09:02

Honestly, i'd change the motherboard to an Asus and the memory to OCZ, both of which you can get at better prices along with the better performance...

Computersonly.co.za has that case for R699

And go for some mushkin RAM from prophecy, they have 2x1GB CL4 mushkin kits for R900

Zenbaas · Post by **Zenbaas** » 03 Dec 2007, 09:18

Do yourself a favour and look for prices at Pcint.co.za, also digitalsaonline has the CM 690 for R664!
