Coolerguys.com Wind Tunnel II "Gamer"
Custom Case

 

 

Introduction

So what do you get for yourself when you've exhausted all possible system upgrades? What do you do if you find your overclocked system or video hardware still runs too hot despite the purchase of high end chip cooling system ? Do you travel to many LAN events for fame and fortune ? Perhaps you feal the need to pamper the guts of your brand new power PC by wraping it up in something different? Or maybe you're the kinda person that just has to have the best of everything. If you fit any of thease categories then the Wind Tunnel II just may be for you.

It's nothing new to take a case and hop it up. Geeks like us have been doing it for years and finally the market is beginning to open up for companies to commercially sell pre-made custom cases. The differences between a do it yourself and a professionally made product may not seem like much, but believe me when I say there is no comparison unless you take a lot of time and effort with it as I'll explain.

In our tests, we will put the Coolerguys Wind Tunnel II Gamer up against a custom case by yours truly. All this time I thought my case was pretty darned good for cooling, but it falls short in many ways to this pro made piece. We will do some overclocking of both CPU and video and see just what kind of improvements, if any, we get with an out of the box custom case for our hard earned dollar.
