I think this is the only person who has had an extensive hands-on with this case and written a review.

Thanks JG!

And no matter how neat the cabling is done, it still has to come off the top and go somewhere. On a sleek 'modern' designed case like that, it's gonna look like ass.

[Borys]

Look's like CM Stacker830 but a bit more future. It isin't so pretty so i was thinking :/

[lkiller123]

lol its like a stacker with less fans

[Phosphurus]

In the review the guy had problems with a thick DVI cable and connector fitting easily, I can only imagine my DVI-HDMI convertor and HDMI cable in that setup.....

[Lagaaja]

Interior design is awesome. But, and a big but, exterior design is absolutely awful. And the steel interior makes it look so cheap compared to aluminum.

My toughts are exact opposite I like the exterior, but the interior is just horrible. So much space wasted just wasted with that desing..

[DonFaygo]

Seriously, even if someone bought that case there is no chance in hell they would start modding it up. It was designed after the b2 bomber, or atleast thats what i read in anoher review. Throw in a window and a paint job, maybe a CF overlay, that thing would look pretty badass

[Mr.BSEL]

Looking at the pictures from Newegg, it seems that the window version has the interior already painted black.

lol cuz the case is made out of STEEL instead of aluminum(the SST way) if it's not painted, its going to look like

[Serpentarius]

come to think of it ... maybe if this case is air brushed with military style .... maybe it'll rocks?

I just ordered one from Performance-PCs....I like it and I may even put my core i7 system into it...I have this and the Silverstone FT01 BW coming...I have to decide which one my Core 2 Quad system will go in and Core i7....decisions decisions.

I am just wondering how messy/hard it will be to have all the rear cables coming out the top of a case...I'll know soon enough

[lkiller123]

well, the raven has a door that covers the top of the case. so it won't look THAT messy

[yenniedn]

I'm not sure I'm crazy about the design but I'll give them some credit for "trying" to be innovative . . . and keeping the price reasonable (unlike the $400 to $600 Lian Li's).

Well would you do us all a favour, Ace ?
Just as a matter of interest: Plug your DVI-HDMI adaptor into your 4870X2, then plug in an HDMI cable and lead it out of the rear cable guide/lifting handle and see if the lid will fit on.
Pics would be great, and very helpful to those considering buying this case.

Cheers

after seeing the case at CES. Tony from SS opened up the back of the back and it has space for a dual 120mm rad on the back. so only one loop will be possible.
