Still can't decide.

I LOVE the 350D and 250D. I think they look great and the 250D is really easy to work in, but the 350D offers more flexibility. I went for the 250D though, becuase I wanted small (not super small) and I like the looks more than the Node.

EDIT: I just saw that you have a Phenom MATX. I used to have the Prodigy MATX and it is so much better with the 250D! Cooling is similarly good, if not better!

350d. The Node 804 is pretty awesome, but it's meant for HTPCs. It would still make an awesome, stylish case though.

I think you got the 804 confused for the 605.....the 804 is pretty big.

The OP mentioned the 804, and no, it's not too big actually. It just has a wide stance.

True....oh well. Still no HTPC case though. :D  At least that's what I would say, and unless you want to go crazy on water cooling......

A case to look out for is the Carbide 240 from Corsair though. http://www.corsair.com/en-us/landing/air240

It says otherwise on their website!

Open the link I posted and scroll down. I tsays: "Tool-free 3.5" drive, 2.5" drive, and side panel...."

So I guess you can mount at least on 3.5" drive.

i had the same problem with my ASUS board....only 2 PWM connectors. Get a fan adapter for a 4-pin molex . Mine has three connectors for fans. You can even get those as 5 or 7V versions, so your fans don't run as loud.Bitfenix has those.

At the bottom of the page, they have a list of adapters that you can use.

caseking.de ships to the netherlands for 7,99.......so you could do it there. They have a ton of adapters. Maybe think about buying a fan or two as well so it is worth the shipping.

Well I really hope this works. You just have to wait for the air240 to be released. It will be worth it. Should be available in july.
