I've been eyeballing for about a month now since it was announced.

From the orientation of the HD mount I'm guessing the front fan is mounted behind the HD's. (Like Sonata).

Nope...I think it's not easily available in the stores... probably need to order from Antec for now.

It's due out mid December. Been watching these myself - guess what Mr Visa Card is doing next month :-)

I used to be a huge Cheiftec/Antec fan, but I'm growing tired of my "silver bullet"...
I think I'm gonna buy a PC-70 after Christmas, anyone have this case?

Dpm't think it's out in the UK, you can preorder it for about 100 quid. I preordered mine about 3 weeks ago now.

Looks nice, but I just hate the front panel, it's VERY gay looking.

Too bad they couldn't have used thicker aluminum. The case is quite flimsy side-by-side to a Cooler Master with 2mm sheets.

Looks great to me. I especially like the quote:
"Made from recycled fighter jets.*"
;)
What I really like is that the front ports are at the top of the case I don't know why case makers don't normally take the time to put them at the top!!

CoolerMaster uses 2mm thick aluminum ? No way, trust me, it's 1.2mm, just like Lian-Li and Antec use.

CoolerMaster and Lian-Li use thicker aluminum then 1.2mm. The Antec P160 is flimsy in comparison to a CoolerMaster.

I have a Lian-Li in my room, and trust me, it uses 1.2mm thick aluminum. The flimsy aluminum you mention is used on Chieftec aluminum cases and on TT Xaser III, those use 1.0mm or even 0.8mm thick aluminum.

The Antec P160 is flimsy as well, and I doubt is has 1.2mm aluminum. I believe closer the 0.8mm. The thing is slightly stronger then a Super Lanboy, but both have about the same thickness.
