    Shizzle that case looks sweet. Makes for a really nice air cooled rig, and the price isn't so bad considering all the fans you are getting.

    Would be nice if you can fit a 2x120 rad up front and a custom reservoir on / in the top tray.

    it's alrite..too small for me tho

    it looks like they try to pull off a comanche style looking case but didnt finish it. On second thought why dont they make one like that? I think that would be bad ass case.

    Why the hell do they have to slap LED fans in every decent looking case out there? Can the LED be disabled or do you have to replace the fan? Otherwise, this might be my next case - looks like it would have some good airflow. That 200mm fan in the top of the case sould be awesome!

    I agree, it looks too much like a black 830. Still looks like a nice small tower for people though.

    you can disable the leds on some fans, i did it for a couple ttake 92mils, just gotta be careful where you cut.

    also, looks like a decent case. The p180 was superb quality, i just didnt like the ay it handled watercooling so i ditched it. If this carries the same quality, could be a winner.

    why does it still have a rear exhaust fan when its got a top exhaust that is that big?
    other than that, it looks pretty good, at least the 200mm isnt a led fan, so you can change to all non-led fans if you want.

    looks nice, Lots of Airflow in there. Could potentially use the big fan for intake and the rest for exhaust?

    Many cases cant thats not a con.
    It can fit a double or single very easy, and a triple could most likely be mounted off the back with a radbox.

    I like it, it looks pretty different from their previous cases, price isnt too bad either. The top tray is somewhat odd but could be useful for cds and such. The front blue led fans are a nice touch.

    However, the placement of the top panel usb/firewire/etc. could be less than ideal for certain setups.

    dude, awesome case. I was planning on getting a P180 but this seems better for water cooling.

    actually, it's pretty nifty, use the top fan for exhaust, all others for intake, and that thing will be pulling all that air right out of there faster than the other two fans could feed it.

    my problem is that it's made of steel, why on earth do people STILL make steel cases? make it of aeronautic's grade aluminum. like mm does, i'm willing to pay that premium.

    I dont like the look of it, but the airflow should be really nice.
    Instead of that big and in my eyes useless top fan, they should have designed the top somehow different.
    There is not even a easy way fitting a tripple rad in or on top of the case :/
