Spill proof (no top vents, downward slats)

Uses same basic frame/layout as ft04/rv04, so dual 180mm fans.

Sometimes I love Silverstone, sometimes I really wonder what the hell they are doing

This would be useful like in a machine shop. HEPA filter!!!!

As you may note from my profile pic, I'm a Silverstone fan (DAT pun)

Interesting. It looks like something you'd find in the Bat cave.

That's the raven series.

Might buy one for giggles 

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

Like my school, for the CNC router, they have a dust choked dell.

For other dirty places, warehouses, ect.

Yeah true.

 

But pretty much every CNC I've worked with have had the PC in another room and the files transferred to the CNC through some sort of portable storage or network. I've never seen a rig hooked directly to a CNC before. I wouldn't imagine it would be a common thing. Like why would you put the PC near the cause of the issue?

Idk, they are stupid and think it'sa good idea to put a Pc in a woodshop, 2 ft from a CNC router.

the HEPA standard involves the blockage of 99.97 of airborne particles larger than 0.3 micro-meters. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HEPA 

 

So pretty much. 

 

Only downside is that you will need to use fans with good static pressure, or they simply will not work. Car air filters are HEPA's IIRC so that gives you a rough idea of the kind of pressure they normally need for any decent airflow. Making a HEPA filter efficient enough for small 120mm/140mm fans deserves praise imo.

 

but seriously, a DEMCI filter will stop 90% of dust. This is overkill for any household imo.

This is what I think of Pre-Ordering video games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp98SH3vW2Y

Sure sure, but for dirty commercial applications.

Luckily the dual ap182 have high static pressure.

Why are all cases so damn huge? Give us smaller cases, make m-atx the norm, with itx second. Hardly anyone needs atx and room for 8 HDD's and 2 optical drives.

For people like me who get annoyed that every cool case coming out is in m-atx form...or for people who want to use an EATX mobo because i havent seen a compatible case in a while. I agree about HDD's and optical drives, which is clearly on its way out, but dismissing ATX? pish posh sir

Noise Levels? Hepa filters aren't the thinnest things in the world. Even if the fans aren't loud, the air moving through the filter will be louder than most.

Hmmm, interesting. I need of a new case as I just damaged the side panel to mine. :D

I'd say my room is a harsh, critical environment too, the perfect place for this case, I swear. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?
