For the Custom PCs can you choose a case that is not on the list and not at the Vadim store but a completely different case? For example a case that you can send to Vadim so they can build the computer in it.
Thanks

I am only guessing but depending everything you want fits okay and Vadim thinks that the case would be good enough for their advanced technology I guess Yes.
You have me very very curious now, what case were you thinking of getting? if you havnt got the case I reckon Vadim could get it for you save sending it in. Anyway good luck
I was thinking of this case; http://www.dvwarehouse.com/Apple-Case-for-Mac-Pro-922-8000-----NEW-p-35381.html. Don't tease me! I just love the way Apple design their products. But don't get me wrong I love the Windows Operating System and I think Mac OS X is terrible. But back to the topic at hand. So do you think that case be advanced enough? Oh and if you have ever seen the Mac Pro case you will know it is HUGE. If you look at the Apple website and see the dimensions you will see just how big it is.
I lived in Australia, Sydney-Balmain-Gladesville Then move to Brisbane, then finally Melbourne, I was a male nurse there. There is also DMC who is going there for good soon no doubt he will post a message to you.
Now regarding the Apple case I now would say NO doubt they would do it but you never know with Vadim, they have gone out there way to help people but I guess this time I guess the answer would be no. Those cases while I understand your like for them are quite old now, I nearly bought one an apple that is with that case over 2 years ago. Now what do you reckon do you think all my computer hardware would fit.. Piccies to follow
Well Fruim as I can tell by your pictures you have the Lian Li V1100. If so than yes all of your components would probably fit. Here is a comparison.
Mac Pro
Height: 511 mm
Depth: 475 mm
Width: 206 mm
Lian Li V1100
Height: 490 mm
Depth: 550 mm
Width: 210 mm
I am running out of time, I have to go to lunch so if you can do your own volume measurements then please do and I will update this with the measurement. So if you had a tiny bit of space you should be able fit your parts into the case.

And Fruim I think the case that you are thinking of is the Power Mac case which looks almost identical on the outside but on the inside it is completely different.
Yes a big Mr Mook Mook....Good day sport
Yep as Fruim said I'm going in september to Sydney...for hopefully good.....I only have a 4 year visa...but will apply for citizenship in that time ......where are you from in Australia?
Lian-Li are in my view the best cases around..........Is this some trick to sneak a Vadim in to work disguised as a Apple?
Ps, I just noticed I already said welcome in your CoolerMaster poll post...damn my memory is getting worst day by day
I am from good, old Canberra. dmc how do you know my secret evil plan to disguise a Vadim as an Apple? But seriously you will love Sydney! Especially if you like the heat and like to swim and surf. So just to satisfy my curiosity why are going to live in Sydney? Just so you know if you look on the Australian News you will probably see Kevin Rudd (The PM) every single bloody day announcing another "committee" to that will report back to him in 12 months. I think he has announced over 100 committees
Oh and dmc as I presume you are a British Citizen you should easily be able to get Citizenship or at the least Permanent Residency. Especially if you have skills such as programming or something like that.

Edit: What happened to all the RAM choices in the Gaming PC area? Yesterday there was lots and now there is only a few.
Thanks to everyone for helping out over the weekend, hope you all had a good one.
We have never worked with the Mac Pro Case so i'm afraid i can't assertain whether it will be possible to fit all those components and our watercooling package in there. We will happily give it a go for you, but the system will take longer than usual and we will have to charge extra for the R&D it will take to make the Mac Pro case work.
I would advise against the ODIN PSU. The testing we did on it proved that there were some very unstable and erratic problems with it in some cases. Go for the Coolermaster 1000w or the Enermax Galaxy 1000w instead.
The Nvidia 780i chipset boards do not come recommended as they aren't very robust. Go for 790i instead. If you are dead-set on having a 780i board, then go for the Striker II Formula and either watercool everything on the board (CPU+NB+SB+VRMs) or just the CPU (and VGA).
Quad SLi (2x 9800GX2s) has proven in both ours and Custom PC Magazines tests to be hot, unstable and to offer hardly any perfomance increase over a single GX2. In light of this and with the release of the new G280 card scheduled for this week, i advise that you either go for two of the G280 cards in SLi or just one 9800 GX2 paired with an Intel Chipset motherboard.
The Lite-On LH-2B1S Blu-Ray SATA DVDR Black should work with Vista 64.
If the order is being shipped to Australia then you will definitely need Heavy Duty Packaging.
The memory choices on our website have decreased due to us putting the supply of OCZ memory on hiatus. Please see here for more details: http://forum.vadim.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=3008
......where are you from in Australia?
