Recommended Mini-ATX case for Pegasos II?
« on: July 29, 2009, 06:45:00 PM »
Hi #?,
 
well.. it turns out that I bought a Peg II recently (mobo, memory, cpu card only) and I'm starting to build it up. I just want to hear from other Pegasos users what you consider a good case option for it...  I've been looking at Antec's Aria enclosure but that's probably not the best choice outhere.
 
Anyone got a good suggestion?
 
Thanks in advance!

I rebuilt my peg 2 in a X-Cube case which i really like :- http://www.xcase.co.uk/X-Case-X-Cube-Black-with-window-650-Watt-Psu-p/x-case-xcube-bww.htm
 
When I bought it, it was in an Antec Aria case and to be honest I hated it. This was mainly due to a number of threads where stripped out of the aluminium and when you moved it the the sides fell off.
 
The X-cube is far roomier for hardly any size increase.

Hey Man, thanks for the suggestion, this one looks pretty good!

There's a slight problem though... it seems to be available in Europe only... :(
 
Damn, it looks really nice!

Thanks folkz. I will get a quote for shipping.. I bet it's gonna be very expensive.. we'll see if it's worth it or not!
 
BTW.. I checked on bplan's website for the smartfirmware updates for the pegasos.. it's not available anymore, is it? Wonder if anyone has the latest version...
 
Cheers

What is wrong with the version you have?

It seems to be quite outdated... (2002).  Newer versions would probably fix a lot of issues but I don't know 'cause I don't have them. It looks like the original owner didn't upgrade it...

The mobo is version 2B1... which, afaik is one of the older (if not the oldest) revisions of the Peg II...

Cheers,

OK, ended up buying this one:
 
Silverstone SST-LC13B-E (black) Home Theater HTPC Case...
 
Now the room is full with mostly white Amiga's and now a black Pegasos II! :D
 
The case is a bit bigger than needed, but very nice.. very well made, good materials, roomy and it has great looking.
 
Thanks everybody for your suggestions.
 
Cheers,
