Standart Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Hi. I'm thinking of buying this case, I read all reviews - it's good,nice design etc. but wtf no reset button? How I'm going to restart PC if it freeze? What about ventilation? Is there a place to put additional fans? I guess I will need additional fans, but look at this PC I'm buying (half of components are bought already): CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 810 2.6Ghz Mobo - MSI AMD 770 RAM - Kingston DDR3 4GB 1333 HDD - HITACHI SATA 500GB 7200RPM 3GB/S/16MB GPU - Gigabyte GTX260OC 896MB 448 bit/ Core clock 630MHz/ Mem clock 1998MHz PSU - Asus P-55GA ATX 550W ODD - Samsung 22x one intake fan and rear exhaust fan is that enough for this pc? Here's the link to case - Poseidon 310. Video - What do you think? Only 2 fans, no reset button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cursed Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Just hold down the power button for 5 seconds then start it as normal. Reset buttons aren't needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standart Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 Also it doesn't have a removable motherboard tray... what is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzy Fozborne Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 A removable tray means that you can screw your motherboard onto the tray and install things like RAM and CPU heatsink without having to have your hands in the case. After everything is attached to the motherboard, you simply place it back in the case. It isn't a huge deal and certainly isn't a deal breaker.

anus Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 For around that price, get this case instead. Best case for your price range really. Four 92 MM fans and one 120MM fan. Along with the case, get one 120MM fan and four 92MM fans as the case doesn't seem to come with any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a nice case, wondering why I didn't see that there Those fans are not in stock, what about four 92mm , and one 120mm? Also look here http://www.chieftec.com/ch-01sl-sl-b.html ,it says it support PS2 PSU's, but mine is ATX... that means mine not supported? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Democrab Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 It would be ATX, not to have an ATX PSU for a case like that would be suicide for a company. Honestly, due to the Mesh on the side, the Poseidon 310 would be better for cooling as long as you have good fans on the coolers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what does Warlord. say about this? aww, now I don't know what to choose - Poseidon 310 with that window on side panel or Chieftec with no window. Poseidon somehow looks better, but I don't know about ventilation, if I could stick up more fans on that poseidon - I would take that case.

anus Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I personally would go for the Chieftec, but it's your call. Go for whatever you like better. If you can slightly increase your budget, go for the Antec 900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anus Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 You can only mount two 120MM fans. Honestly, two good 120MM fans should be enough for the system. So go for it if you think it looks better. I personally think the black version is pretty sexy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have black keyboard,mouse, will have black lcd monitor, I have black speakers also, but a silver case ... I don't know,the case looks really good, but the color is not right somehow. That case has 2 gigabyte 120mm fans - are those good? In that video the guy is telling they are good. I don't wanna burn this PC when I get it... there must be a way to put in additional fan... "vented steel mesh" what is that? Is it like a wall full of small holes? Like ventilation thing? Do you know if it's good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"vented steel mesh" what is that? Is it like a wall full of small holes? Like ventilation thing? Do you know if it's good? Here is a black version of the case from a Latvian site. And don't worry so much about the fans. Two 120MM is more than what you think, it should be enough for the system. You don't have any other place to add fans unless you mod the case or do some ghetto rigging, which would make that beautiful case ugly. If you want better cooling, spend some cash on some powerful fans and run then on max speed. And yes, the mesh is exactly what you said. The case does look good, has decent ventilation and is from a pretty good manufacturer, so I'd say it's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standart Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 Thanks for helping again. I'll think about that black one... black would be alot better, but shipping is upto 4 days, but veikalstev.lv is next day shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anus Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I personally wouldn't mind the longer wait as silver would look out of the place with all your other components being black. And I think it looks a lot better in black too . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standart Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 meh,I would want the black one, but then the shipping is costier again. I think I must take the silver anyway... All I need is pretty looking case and a good ventilation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anus Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Dude why not buy the black Poseidon from here? It's going for cheaper than at veikalstev.lv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
