No need to replace fans here, first time it happened to me. I still have a box with those expensive Noctua fans.

August 3, 20241 yr Looking at the honeycomb website, they have no product to sell other than the Xbox hub. Everything else is marked sold out?
August 3, 20241 yr Which Honeycomb website? Apparently there are two, competing against each other, both claiming to be the manufacturers of Honeycomb rudder pedals. What a meltdown. One Honeycomb website has a page that explains this, the other one doesn't.
August 3, 20241 yr Some of the soap opera at Honeycomb. There are at least two competing Charlie's being sold, it looks like. The serial number is supposed to say which version. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

I routinely clone my two drives and my current Coolermaster H500 is dismal for that sort of flexibility. That's my case. I can attest, it's a fantastic case. Ultra quiet, and enough air volume that it's easy to maintain good temps with just the fans that come with it. Really great layout, too. Lots of room to work. Some will take issue with the wire tuck option, because the right side of the case is glass too so you will see the wires that you hide back there, but mine's right side is up against a wall so I don't care. I do wire tucks for airflow, not looks anyway. In fact, the case is so good I got a second one for my PC after being so impressed with the first one when building a VR box. It finally replaced my ancient Thermaltake Armor which I used for almost 20 years across something like 8 PC builds. Almost hated to retire it but the View was just too nice to pass up.
