I won a Gigabyte acrylic case like the one in the pic, but completelly disassembled and, since I already own one that serves it's purpose I thought I'd might sell it.

 

Now, the problem is that it's really hard for me to find proper information about the case and I've only found this picture from some post on ebay I haven't been able to track again.

 

Do you guys know this case or have any information about it/pictures with full builds and so on?

 

I've taken a few pics and I know it can support a 80mm fan and more or less motherboard sizes but I'd like to find a website where all the spects were listed or something like that.

 

I've also considered keeping it and trying to mount my system but I'd have to do some modding and ask someone to cut some holes for bigger fans and what not which is too much hassle for me. Also, a few $$ would make for a nicer SSD or soundcard + won't make me be worried everytime I go to a lan cause I've heard acrylic can be scrached easily.

They don't sell this cases afaik, it's just some sort of exclusive thing to showoff hardware and they give it away in tournaments they support and such.

If you've already looked everywhere why don't you measure the distance between holes and find out what mobo fits inside, does a normal psu fit, 

 

Yeah, I ended up doing that, I think I could fit my X58A OC in there, and even a normal PSU.

 

 

Be sure do charge a good price for it, this looks amazing.

 

I was thinking 60€ as it has no fans and it seems it can only support one 80mm fan in the back.

 

Another posibility is to keep it and mount my hardware into it, leaving the other case I have for a mining rig or just as a spare case. If I were to do that, I'd try drilling the top of the case to fit 2 120mm fans and another 120mm in the back, maybe in the front as well. If I were to do that I might as well get into water cooling, which would look amazing I think. I have a friend who has access to CNC machines and stuff so might be doable, but still, I'd rather have a new SSD.

Meh. You already have an SSD. I can understand that you want a bigger one, but with time comes money.

 

Liquid cooling with lot's of LEDs would be an option. (pruple coolant, blue LEDs would look awesome) Anyways, do whatever you want with it. :D

who cares...

That case looks awesome and btw where did you win it?

 

In a Starcraft 2 tournament Gigabyte was sponsoring as well as other brands.
