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

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

Noctua's as that one is lacking flair and is too plain. Neils' has everything it needs and adding more would clutter the calm. Reply
