Default Danger Den Air Box

Up until about 30 minutes ago, I had my heart set on a Antec P190 + 1200 and was just waiting until a particular retailer got them in at a bargain price of £180 inc VAT. But all this talk of Danger Den Torture Racks got me thinking, maybe I will snap 1 up. After having a think about it, I realised a big potential problem amongst others. My 1st problem with Da Rack is, my sons little fingers, he likes them very much and I would like them firmly where they are (well for now anyway). Second problem, the open top design is great for your heavy component rotator, but thats not me, and didnt like the look of Da Rack with the extra panels attached. So that idea went out the window. I then noticed the equally good looking Air Box. Its fully enclosed, which is great for my needs and it shares the flat mobo positioning design feature with Da Rack, which is great for your average aftermarket CPU air cooler user, as they weigh a ton.

I am going to sleep on it and make my decision soonish. What do you guys think. Am I making the right decision getting the Air Box or not?

Well me personally, I don't like the air box to much. Torture rack is pure awesomeness but the air box just looks kinda fugly if you ask me.... just my opinion.
I really really like the P190 though, looks awesome!
Here are my quick thoughts:
P190 > Air Box
Torture Rack > P190

Just out of interest, have you found a UK supplier of the danger den cases? I was looking before but with no luck. IMO, if you have the space the torture rack looks the best, followed by the p190

Hey, have you considered the Mountain Mods H2G0? I have one, and it's great. Horizontal mobo, great airflow. It is a little pricey though.

Cheers for the recommendation. But I got2 say, the styling does nothing for me. 80s microwave springs to mind.

I think I gunna go 4 a Water box plus coz its got support for 2 120mm fan + 2 80mm fans opposed to 5 80mm fans.

To all you haters, come-on. How can you call that ugly?


Especially with these fan grills
