It's $149, the front cover pops UP and back, doesn't swing FORWARD. Awesome features.... the first case that has REALLY got to me in a long time!!

[D_o_S]

It has a nice design, but not the best, IMHO. The cooling isn't that great either. I still like my Stacker more. But that's just my :2cents:

[Jupiler]

I find it a horrible case, but that's just me. :p:

[Karnivore]

I find it a horrible case, but that's just me. :p:


Agreed, Arnold's Predator line comes to mind..... :D

[HARDCORECLOCKER]

I find it a horrible case, but that's just me. :p:

:D Me too, and BTW red is a very strange colour for a case, isn't it ?

:toast:

[charlie]

I know it's a personal thing.... teriyaki or sesame, right?

But I REALLY like it!

[Tyrou]

I usually don't like "tuned" cases, I prefer LianLis or Coolermasters, but this one is really...weird :D What's the price of that strange case ?

[vapb400]

ugly as hell. I prefer simplistic cases though.

[Disposibleteen]

with some mods it could be cool, the basic lines and design of the case imo isnt bad though

[piddan]

It truly is very ugly :p:

[Alexandrus]

I find it a horrible case, but that's just me. :p:
It's not just you ;)

PS. Karnivore, I liked Predator movies, although they all sucked, I agree, but I like that creature Predator a lot.

[D_o_S]

I'd probably get it if it had 10x 5.25, but then I come to think of the size of the door... maybe not such a good idea.

[kryptobs2000]

I'd be scared that thing might blast off if I hit the wrong button

[THunDA]

Now thats one interesting case.. I dont really know what to say.. :P

[Ferry82]

I saw the case @ a local store her it is a nice case but not my choice.

[charlie]

Hopefully we'll have a REVIEW sample here soon and I'll take it for a spin.......

Hi guys my first post here tho ive been reading for a long time :), My housemate bought this case yesterday from a local computer fair (the blue model not red), Case looks very cool until you open it up and see the internals. It looks cheap and not so well made especially for the price of it also only has 2 hdd bays and I dont think the cooling set up is all that good either 1 single 80mm fan at the front and 120mm fan at the rear also the front panel door is very flimsy.

He took the case back due to having 5hdds and for the money i think your better of with a Lian Li or similar much better made and much better expansion especially in the hdd area just thought id share my thoughts of it with you all :)

Mhhh,
didn't know they included a board with it. :D

Quoted from ASUS site :



With four 5.25-inch and four 3.5-inch drive bays, six PCI slots, one AGP 8x slot, four USB 2.0 ports and two audio ports, users can install a host of optical drives, hard disks, sound cards, LAN cards and peripherals simultaneously.

200€ for that case is way to much. Absolutely not worth it, IMO.

[F|apDro|`]

Yeah its ugly and overpriced :D:D:D

[DustMite]

Seems like I read a review somewhere that mentioned the poor cooling with the sideways facing intakes. I can't remember where I read that review, but oh well.

That case makes me think of an alienware case with all that molded plastic. I don't particularly care for the asus case or the alienware cases. Both are just plain fugly...IMO.

It seems there is only two camps for the asus case: those that love it and those that hate it. It doesn't seem to have much (if any) middle ground. Personally I choose a case for function and design over gaudy glitz and plastic.

...just my $0.02... :cool:

Hopefully we'll have a REVIEW sample here soon and I'll take it for a spin.......

[Jamo]

well i'll be honest i dont like it, and here in the uk at least it seems overpriced as hell and there much better cases for less money, just my opinion, i have a coolermaster ATCS-201 BTW

[Mr. Tinker]

How about a black Vento (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811173008) then, Charlie?

This HAS to be Darth Vader's personal case.

Edit: Can I start a Vento fan club even if I don't own one? I think the Vento is perfect fan club material because of the "love it or hate it" factor.

[wfarid]

WEll the red vento can be the emperor's case!
