Did I just score a holy grail case?!?

MillaChill88

First off this is my first post so please if I posted this is the wrong area or something my apologies.  Anyway I was browsing FB marketplace last night and came across this for $200.  I was able to talk them down to $125 as they were about an hours drive away.  Is this a Caselabs SMA8?  It looks like it however there is Digital Storm on a few of the little boards throughout the case. I’ve gotta go to work right now but I will be back later tonight to see if anyone can help me find out exactly what case I got.  Also I know that loop looks like it has jizz in it so all you people who are considering EK Mystic Fog don’t cause this is what it looks like after sitting for a while.  Also damn I love those quick disconnects on the CPU block I think I’m gonna steal’em and put them on my other build.

That does not look like the Caselabs sma8, the sma8 looks slightly different.  I think this is the 'The Hailstorm II ' from Digital Storm where they used the Corsair 900D

Yeah, that's a 900D. 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

Well looking at Corsair’s website there are quite a few differences though like the front is ventilated on mine and both bottom sides on mine have ventilation.

Well I finally got that god awful CPU block from bitspower off.  Again Mystic Fog is literally the grossest coolant.  Look at the build up on the fins of the cold plates.  If you want to use that coolant please don’t.

That's because yours is missing panels.

 

The covers on the lower parts come off to leave the mesh (or the casse may have come with two panel types that can swapped out, can't remember)

The front pops off to get to the fans
