Oh come on, the features page looks like it was pulled directly off of their site.

Agreed :thumbsup: I have been thinking of getting a new case for my server, and with all those hdd bays, this might have to go on the list!

Looked nice and great cable management but OUCH to the temps/airflow


I think the temps/airflow is a little jaded since the other cases tested had more fans. I bet if you fill the empty 120mm fan slots on this case you would see a much smaller gap!

Yeah I was thinking the same thing too, I'd be interested in seeing it fully equipped.

Interesting case.... I can I mod a window onto it now please. :D

"It works Because I threatened it. :lol:" - " did you show it the sledgehammer" - "No, A flight of stairs"
"I don't want to be much of a forum Nazi but this situation calls for a hail Bosco and blitzkrieg someone".

If that does not work I hop in a Madcat and Blast it to microscopic Particles.
