PEnns "..we expect the Noctua edition to be priced at least $250 or above." Hmmm, tough choice, should we get the case or 1 stick of RAM??? Damn decisions!! Reply
bit_user The article said: Austrian PC cooling expert Noctua As @N.Broekhuijsen quite nicely explained, they're a partnership between Austrian and Taiwanese companies. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cooling/20-years-of-noctua-how-one-brand-became-a-leader-in-the-pc-cooling-business The precise division of labor is described in more detail, here: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/pc-fan-faceoff-can-arctics-7-p12-pro-compete-with-the-40-noctua-nf-a12x25-g2.3891327/post-23581678 The article said: It also comes with four Noctua NF-A14x25 G2 and two NF-A12x25 G2 fans That's $250 worth of fans, if you'd buy them each at the current street prices! I upgraded my NH-C14S with a G2 fan. I can confirm a drop in temps of a couple degrees compared with the G1 fan. The article said: The rest of the features should be identical to the standard Antec Flux Pro full tower case Looks pretty impressive, except for the part about not having any aluminum. https://www.antec.com/product/case/flux-pro On an aesthetic level, it's no match for Niels' amazing creation!!

rluker5 I know it is counterproductive, but this case could really use the soft glow of some dim incandescent bulbs instead of RGB. Maybe some small Edison bulbs or a soundcard with a glowing tube or 2. IMO Edit: If separate bulbs, maybe wired to a manual toggle, similar to a PSU power switch. Reply

Maybe some small Edison bulbs or a soundcard with a glowing tube or 2. IMO Are you talking about Noctua's or Niels'? I think vacuum tubes would be a cool vibe. Or what about a pair of Nixie tubes being used to display the CPU temperature? My motherboard has a 2-digit debug display that you can configure to show the CPU temperature, after the system has booted. Perhaps one could replace those LED hex displays with Nixie tubes! Reply
