Nice idea. Waiting for the normal size version.
What's up with the gay little plastic windows on cases?
Personally, I'd rather have a meshed sidepanel case like the anubis or osiris, and not the huge covers the mobo tray+half the 52.5/3.5in bay window
i'd like to post this in [H] since that seems to be where redbeard is responding but they don't allow registration with the 3 most common email providers so i guess i'm not welcome :(
anyhow i'm hoping they offer some way of stealthing optical drives. it's always an eyesore to have a nice clean case with an ugly beige or even black optical drive in the front. they just don't with in with all their plastic and crap.
something like what lian li uses would be great.
hopefully red beard is still tracking this thread.
What do you guys want to know?
+1 my li-li looks awesome cause of it :)Quote:

All in all, a full night.
Important part is highlighted.Quote:

Did it catch any STDs?Quote:

(goes back to the first few pages)- toolfree drivebays play nice with things like fan controllers and card readers?
-HDD backplane using a black PCB?
max cardlength doesnt seem to be any sort of issue, so that's not really a question, but...maximum length of card allowable?
I think that's about it for now, lol
Not stock, but the front panels are fairly easily modded if it's something people want to do.Quote:

The case is immune to STDs, thankfully. That's actually what's been taking us so long to release it. Building up that immunity.Quote:

-Well more than wide enough for the TRUE+ fan or the Noctua cooler or the Megahelms cooler, etc.
-Toolfree drive bays will also allow you to use screws if you'd rather use them.
-Yes, black PCB and there's a cover that goes over it so it gets hidden when not in use.
-Not sure on maximum card length but this case is fairly massive, haven't had problems building a system yet. 24" x 24" x 9"
Tis early may. :) Just wondering if we had any new info about it i see your previous post says not in may.Quote:

Looking forward to seeing this in retail. Thanks for listening to all the input and keeping everybody informed Redbeard, I'm sure your communication will earn you some customers!
damn, i'll have to either find a way to use the lian li optical bay covers or find a black brushed aluminum optical drive?
not a big deal considering how awesome the case is to begin with.
nice to hear the pcb is going to be black + a cover.
any chance of seeing any updated photos? even if just teasers?
Here's a few. Each highlights something different from the CEBIT version, even if they are just small changes.Quote:

Overall, not bad. I would say that im not a big fan of plastic tool-less designs, let alone tool-less designs n general. I would have to see it in person to determine if its any good. Now, i do like the top triple rad fitting area as well as the clean looking front panel power button. The externally accessible fan filter is also a great idea that some case manufacturers forgot to do right :up:Quote:

I cant tell from the pic, but it looks like it might take a PA120.3 natively now?
Looks like 15mm spacing still (personally its a good thing)
Judging by the new top pictures, the top should have a plate that we could change between Thermorchill dimensions or either the stantard ones... not thermorchill only, since not everyone has one.
Steel structure and side panels, aluminum front panel.Quote:
