Nice VERY open (inside) case design. You can see all the specs, details etc on new...egg I just showed the yellow painted one, there is also red blue etc. Very nice open concept design. I am wondering what is available internally for cable management or if everything would be visible to the point where one would have to be a little creative.

Nice video preview. I'd say this would be the must-have case for LAN parties. |

The more I look at the internal shots of the case, the more I like it. |

LOL @ Steve-o well I wouldn't use it for LAN parties and mine is safely tucked away under my desk as most people would have it 99 percent of the time. It does offer great cable management options ( not like the 800D tho) and cooling I am guessing would be bar none. Definitely an upgrade path for me down the road maybe next yr - that is, if I don't bite the bullet on a silverstone raven ft-02. |

I would think a well designed case would stay cooler than this due to air flow and the fact that it could push all the air out of the system quickly rather than just letting it dissipate out of it from all directions unless a fan was pointed directly at it.  Plus aren't these quite expensive... not to mention ugly?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Apparently all fans are pointed inwards. |

I didnt actually look at a review of the case. Its was more or less "in passing" while browsing a bunch of cases and this caught my eye cause of the internal design. The yellow to me is a bit of a turn off but thats only cosmetics. There are other colors and couple that with some white blade white led fans...it may look alright. I am still partial to the FT-02 tho. |

It's an interesting case for sure. I can feel air moving all though the case when I put my hand over the mesh. Wire management I'll have to improve on I was more concerned with getting my system back up and running after the case swap. Couldn't mount the H70 to the top of the case which I had originally planned to as I can't mount any 120mm fans to the top as the motherboard is in the way. So far temps seem to be a degree or 2 cooler than my 690(II) advanced. |

really? better than the 690II? impressive if it beats out that case. I find myself REALLY wanting the NZXT Phantom tho - stormtrooperific. post up a few shots so we can have a look !! |

    Stuck the PSU on the top as it seemed to give me better cable management options. But the side fans that cool the graphics card will not fit due to the H70. So I stuck the fans one on top of each other. Not sure how it affects the cooling of the GPU as I haven't tested the temps. Originally wanted to get 3 tri cool fans for the H70 as I could reach around the back of the case and flick the speed switches. MB only had one in stock yesterday and really did not want a red fan as they were in stock. Think I'll be putting the PSU back on the bottom of the case and just accept that cable management in this case kind of sucks lol. |
