    I love the fact that EVGA are currently running a giveaway for one of those cases packed full of high-end goodies including a GTX780 which on nvidia's website has a recommended minimum PSU of 600W and the case only comes with a 500W PSU...

    I like it. The gloss front will, without a doubt, be a fingerprint magnet though...

    One of the pictures seems to have two fans at the top? But I can't find any details of fan mounts in the specs. The sound of that PSU fan is going to be quite interesting.

    Also, since the box appears to have all the cables inside, I take it the PSU is not modular? That's going to be a major PITA if you want to re-sleeve your cables for modding.

    We'll have to wait for reviews to come out. It seems like an interesting idea. And visually, I find it not bad.

    I saw this and thought it was relevant here.

    I don't like the fact the window is on one side and the slot load USB and 3.5 jacks are on the other side.

    I don't know, I think I like it. Oh s***, not another case and rebuild.

    Love the front panel I must say. :grr:

    2 points after watching that vid:

    * If your card doesn't exhaust air from the case it'll cook everything. There's no intake fan.
    * The inside isn't black, only grey :(

    I do really like it. I appreciate it can't use an SFX so much but I personally would prefer a little taller/longer to fit a bottom intake and modular SFX PSU with larger (quieter) fan.

    There is always the Fractal Design Node 304 (as used by Scan in their "Node" series).

    Available for around £75 (Ebuyer).

    Not perfect but looks nice enough.
