I like the overall outward appearance of the case, but I'm not too fond of the bold white lettering on the front of the case...
Great review though!

You guys remember that shell shaped Lian Li case? Could you imagine the collective stupidity of the designer(s) and the management that approved that monstrosity? -------------------- :: DIGG OCC! :: OCC Rules :: OCC Gaming :: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 | Foxconn MARS P35 4GB G.Skill PC2-6400 (5-5-5-15) | ATI Radeon HD4850 2x 74GB Raptors | 750GB | 1TB Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS | Antec P180B Macbook Core2Duo 2GHz 3GB RAM 250GB HDD |

Hate fancy cases! Don't want no logos, side panel windows, flashing lights, etc., etc.
Give me my plain old black gloss Antec Sonata ( with the two bright blue front panel LEDs disconnected) anyday. A nice solid case with no frills. ... but thats just me. --------------------  <E8500+Zalman 9500>||<GA-EP45-DS4>||<Corsair 4GB (TWIN2X2048-6400C4 X 2)>||<2 x Asus 9600GSO>||<2 x WD320GB>||<Antec Signature 850W>||<Win XP Pro>||<Samsung 2032BW & Acer AL1916W> Folder:<E6600>||<DFI Infinity 975X/G>||<2GB Buffalo Firestix>||<XFX 8800GS>||<WD200GB>||<OCZ 600W>||<Win XP Pro>||<Iiyama Prolite E380S> |

Odd how you do a review on a case built Aledgedly by a company called Sigma when the case is in fact a Raid Max Smilodon case. I know this for a fact since I have the Raid Max case and am vary happy with it. From all the pictures within the review there is nothing diffrent other than the front door and the name and manufacturer. How about looking into this prior to doing a review on an so-called up and coming company who it seems is just rebadging others parts. For look at case http://www.raidmax.com/specs/smilodon.htm

It is not the first time its been done, companies re-badge things all the time and reproduce the product with minor changes.
