OCD-3333 supplied by: AMK Services

The OCD-3333 is a 24" full tower ATX case from AMK Services. OCD stands for OverClocker's Dream. The 3333 represents the size and number of fans in the case. In this case it's four 3.25" high power Sunon ball bearing fans.

The first thing you notice when you look at OCD-3333 case is, it’s huge! A 24” case to start with it can only get taller when you throw a full set of casters on it. This case is so tall it’s a tight fit under most desks if you're lucky enough to even get it underneath at all! This case has massive potential for future expansion as it has six 5.25” drive bays and six 3.5” drive bays to accommodate your floppy drive, zip drive, hard drive, etc.

The four fans used in the OCD-3333 are strategically placed to ensure maximum air flow though out the case. Cool air is drawn into the case by the two "blow holes" with 3.25" fans located on the side. Not only do they bring in cool air, they also act as card coolers! Hot air is exhausted out the case by two more 3.25" fans located at the top of the case. Overall, a very efficient setup.

The OCD-3333 is very similar to the Tornado 2000 case from 3DCool. However it has several advantages over the Tornado,  like lower price and more drive bays. The OCD-3333 is ideally suited towards the overclocker with it’s abundant air flow created by these fans. I found the casters really convenient for moving this case around as I frequently transport my computer to LAN parties and easy access is crucial in my criteria for a case. The casters are lockable so the case won't roll away on you.
