    Which doesn't really change that for a 300 dollar case, the original fan controller is shit. When you fork over that much money, I expect the stuff is actually remotely useful, which it turned out not to really be.

    The difference is almost 1/4, I suggest you not laugh at other poster's for how much they pay for a part, it's very rude.

    Good for you then. But newegg.com for example has it at 350 dollars, and its release retail price was around 300 dollars.
    EDIT: And tigerdirect.com is 340 dollars. Performance-PCs.com is the same.

    My brother personally paid 2500 NOK (which is about 420 dollars).

    If i calculate it my case would cost 282 dollar but 350 is insane lol that would be 285 euro xD

    And that's why I think the case is honestly pretty damn poor for its price.

    As I have no working camera as of now, (Lumia died out, completely) you're going to have to just see the specs on this laptop.


    Core i7-3610M
    GTX 670M
    8GB Kingston 1600hz RAM
    500GB HDD, with 4GB SSD I believe, installing a 60 gig SSD on it tomorrow.

    Costed $1950, now I have something for DHS & DHW, aswell as my 2x trips to Greenland every year, very pleased with this laptop so far.
    No Windows/Nvidia/Intel stickers to ruin the colours of the laptop, which is a nice plus!

    Yea I definitely noticed that when I upgraded the CM fans in my case to GT AP-15's for the side panel and barely saw a temp difference. After a google search, CM said that anyone who bought a Cosmos II is eligible for a fan controller upgrade so hopefully that fixes it since having the fans on my video cards at 40% idle can get annoying after a while.

    No, my issue with the fan controller was the noise you hear from the fan here.

    Yes. I have the very same fans in my 600T right now, without any noise similar to it, despite running undervolted. -.-
    (I'm guessing around 1k RPM, I'm not sure how far down the resistor takes them.)

    Yeah that would bug me, is it obnoxiously loud even when they are in the case?

    Makes me wonder if any fan manufacturers could make those fans that Apple made for the new MBP...

    Err... what? The fans are very quiet. If I didn't have a nasty whining noise from the pump I could almost forget the PC is on entirely.

    I thought you were talking about a loud ticking. :P That's from the fan, yes?

    While the sound is definitely from the fan, the noise is caused by my brother's Cosmos II case when I tested it with that fan controller.

    You mean standard radial fans but with a new fancy name on them?
