| New Griffin Build |
Here is a link to the small gallery I have put together while building Griffin. Note that I'm not completely finished with the build...I want to replace the existing IDE DVD-RW drive with a SATA interface drive to further clean up the cables.
http://picasaweb.google.com/wpeltola/GriffinBuild#
All and all, I'm very happy with Griffin and it's many characteristics. A few of the things that really stand out that I am very pleased about is the weight of the case (when fully loaded, you can almost lift it with one finger) and the airflow that the case provides. The hardware I'm using for this test build came out of my old HTPC, so it's not the fastest in the world, but it's not that shabby either :)
I also though the packing was fine and think the embroidery of the Griffin on the sides of the case is rather classy :) This is certainly a case I would recommend with anybody looking for a fully functional mid-tower case at an amazing cost (( Yellow or Black is only $39.99 at Newegg...a steal in my opinion - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811108229&cm_re=in_win_griffin-_-11-108-229-_-Product ))
What do you guys think?

Looks good. For some reason I though this case was only available in the black and yellow color combination. |

That's originally what I thought too, but I like this all black model a lot. Since I'm using it in an office setting, it doesn't stand out too much, but at the same time you can tell it's a unique case that commands attention :)
One thing I forgot to mention is that this is yet another very quiet case...much like Ironclad. You can't even tell that the big 220mm fan is on and that's a very nice feature.
The power supply is a 600W Power Man Power Supply by In Win and it seems to be a perfect match for this system. I can verify that they built in thermostat works great in this PSU because I was building the computer in my workshop with the door wide open and it was very hot out. As I was installing Windows 7, the PSU started to get warm and the two fans started to kick in and push the air along nicely. |

Nope, this is stemming from the original build :) Windows 7 started to install on the first bootup. |
