    Where I'm now
    Alright guys/gals..I need a help here.I'm looking for a Computer case that is bigger than the usual mid ATX case,The ones we use everywhere.(And built of full steel [probably 0.5G])I can reach Mathara to Colombo in the coastal line for a case if its worth it and the one I want.
    min WXHXD=19 cmx41.5 cmx39 cm
    Should be able to mount a 120mm or 2x80mm fans in the rear.
    Better if it have a grill in the front bottom for better ventillation.
    Power supply is not needed.
    Colour,2nd hand,used,bit rusty anything goes.AS soon as I get it,It will be modded so no matter what condition.
    Tell me a place where I can have a case like that.Usually the small PC shops have them coz they lack sales and stocks pile up.

    Hey Yo dexter,In a country where there are no full-ATX towers will there be server casings? :P :(
    And dont tell me about those two antecs lying on Mitech floor for like 1.5years?
    And with the minimum width I dont think those two will come in too.Usually server casings are not so fat.

    wOOt !! :D:D .BTW why do you need a huge casing anyway???
    More room=more air=more cooler
    And things can be packed.
    I found just one-only one in whole CMB and Galle thats a bit large,have toolless mounting( love it transparent slides for it)Holes for wire routing,side panels are with locks can open sideways like,full steel and only 1500 LKR.When I went to buy it it was sold :( :( I even drew all the cooling plans,modding sketch,wiring diagrams,parts,mod parts,case paint colour matching,even resized the damn side panel sticker that night.20 A4 sheets of thinking wasted :P .F**k that buyer of the casing.I was almost crying you know.Its 72mm lengthier and 26mm wider.I even measured it :(

    My cooler is bit huge so need to pack it up.TRUE will not fit in most cases in lk.And I need some front grill for 120 mm intake.Today I found a standard case like I want but Its shaking.No fitness in these LK cases.That lovely one was great.If only I can find the buyer,I will buy him new and get that. :(

    Damn thats so unfortunate :(. I have the same ventilation problem here with my casing , Coz my water cooler takes about 1/2 of inside's space:(.I can hardly put my hand inside the casing:P.So im hoping to buy That Asus Vento 7700.But not sure if its available in Srilanka:confused:

    First of all,get a nick that is typable with ease.My nick is typable with left hand in two triangles.:P
    Secondly even the name is Vento and it means(feels like)ventillation they suck at it.Dont be fooled by the fibre work.For example lets get a CM stacker or a Cosmos.The best aircooling things.See how they work out.No extra things on out,but will cool great and the metal can suck more heat and vents are there ample of them.Vento dont have vents :P

    Alright,I solved it my self.Back to it.
    Get a god damn fan behind the HDD tray!! there is a slot to mount one.Open your eyes will you?Put in a Delta Electronics fan(Which are well known for only great PC part china makes, the Delta Fans)120mm will blow up like 90 CFM, to tell you!!.I had a one.Man I built a controller for it and when the heat sensors resistence is like nil you can hear the fan from 10m away and dropped the case temp by a grand 10C.Just put 7V into the fan and put it as intake on the front below.Gimme a pic of the case I'll try to figure sumthin for ya.
