hello guys. not had the internet fora few months so just popping in to catch up.

How are you all?

Ive just ordered the
Antec Dark Fleet Series DF35 Gaming Enclosure - Black
Logitech G19 Gaming Keyboard
Logitech G13 Advanced GameBoard
Saitek Cyborg R.A.T. 9


I know you was looking into the G19 Lloyd did you get one in the end? if so let me know how you got on with it. mine should arrive tomorrow i hope

Also is the Rampage Extreme (775) standard ATX? if not im screwed with the new case lol

Cant wait to have a play. but i have to start upgrading the comp spec next as its abit outdated.

Hi mate,
yeah you'll be fine with the motherboard
No I didn't get a G19 in the end (well not yet anyway) had a load of other things that took priority.
Are you going to water cool anything?

[Spookkiller]

i want too.. what you offering

[Lloyd_mcse]

Let me know how much room you have in the case when you have it
I have these though...

D-Tek Fuzion Rev.2
or
EK Supreme Rev.1

A Black Ice Stealth GT Radiator 120.3 (360 - 3x 120mm fan)

And a DDC 3.2 18watt with Alphacool plexi top (no res)

I will add some links later

[Spookkiller]

i dont know much about water cooling so if your looking to sell then makeup a kit from what you have and what i would need to buy to complete the kit if necessary. ill let you know how much room hopefully this morning (Tuesday)

Cheers pal

The Antec DF-35 arrived today. i unboxed it.

First inpressions.

It feels well made apart from a couple of plastic bit on the front which i may find annoying.

Its abit on the ugly side and when you first see it you pull the same face as when you see your granny in the bath.

However. i keep looking at it and thinking to myself. you look ugly but why do i like it?

the SSD hot swap at the top could have been made abit prettier rather than just screwing a block on top of the case. but its practical i guess.

overall when i pulled it out the box i gasped. but the more i look at it its really growing on me.

ill build it up and see what is like.

[Lloyd_mcse]

Yeah I have never been a fan of Antec cases, my mate bought the ugliest Antec case ever - P160 ewww (see pics) but I have to say this comes close lol

I will send you some radiator dimensions later so u know how much room you need

[Spookkiller]

ive decided i dont like it enough to keep it for myself. so im gona build a second rig out of it for my son for xmas.

Ive decided im going to get the new
NZXT Phantom Enthusiast Full Tower Case - Black

[Lloyd_mcse]

Yeah I was looking at that the other day, has a handy rail at the top for a rad IIRC

[Spookkiller]

the cable managment and water cooling slots are alot better than the antecs. + its full tower and i really need the room.

sod it lets get it ordered then

[Spookkiller]

she arrived today. i got to say im quite impressed. its very sleek and quite well built. its got tons of room in it and has great cable managment as well.

its a pain to keep clean with the gloss black finish.

Im abit dissapointed that the fans where not LED as i think it would have made it that little bit more interesting to look at. but i can replace them later with some blue LEDs.

Plenty of room for watercooling so no issues with that

Overall great case!

G19... Loverly keyboard. very simular to the G15 Lloyd but with a colour screen and a few extra macros which always comes in handy. the screen makes it lush though tbh.

G13... Its alot bigger than i expected. but pretty bog standard. 25+ keys and a screen. the joystick only commands up down left right and no diagonal allowance but thats fine for switching weapons

the RAT 9. not recieved that yet as its on pre-order till november. cant wait for that gadget!

[Ya Mother]

My grannys been dead for 30 year so seeing her in the bath would be really scary.... The new antec cases are just the 900 and 1200 with a different skin (no big 200mm fan in top tho?).....the 1200 is still king of the aircooled cases.....love that new mouse....it looks like my bike.

[Spookkiller]

Thats the gaming gear sorted out. now for the internals
The R.A.T 9 is incredible. i'm so impressed and the quality is great. the adjustable DPI is awsome for sniping especially with the precision button. the customization and accessories provided with the mouse makes it the most confortable mouse i've ever used.

[Ya Mother]

Stop it...................i want that mouse but i'm skint.
