I think it looks very bland and big. I am a fan of Antec though. That is why I have a Sonata and it is great. That case should be of good quality like mine. I did not see this case on Antec's website...
Hey, ok, it's 8 days into Q5, I want it now! I like this case almost more than my Lian Li PC6070. Almost.
Looks like it's going to be one of the leading cases for standard low noise air cooling to me... I think I may have found my next case.
hmmmm i wonder with that side panel how easy or nice it would look for those looking to add maybe a window. I love the insides and how clean it looks. Reminds me of the Lians as well. I do like antec though. Maybe my next case when i f**k up the one im on now
It does'nt look as nice as the P160 but the soundproffing is better. I have a P160 and its got sound dampening like an eggshell. first post BTW - hi all
Bit of a thread revival I know but eager to get my hands on one of these... Found this mini CES review of a pre-production model over at The Tech Lounge.
its on 'this weeks only' on overlcockers.co.uk i think its one of the best lookign cases out there, but i love that simple brushed aluminium look.....and i luv my shuttle, although that does tempt me back to full size atx again :S.....must forget it exists...
I think it's nice. I'm a fan of plain-looking metal cases with lots of functionality, and this fits the bill well.
I gotta say I really like the p180, much more than I did the p160. However forget putting a window in, the side panels are multi layer according to a review I read of it so it would look fugly. Watercooling would fit but it would take some odd routing. I think this case will be the standard for all other air cooling systems to aspire to. As far as air cooling goes this baby could be silent.
The case is everything a case should be. It has superb cooling, 4*120mm iirc, seperate bay for hdd's and PSU and it looks stunning. Never a fan of a case with extra hangy onny bits glued all over it. Handles, spoliers, gargoyles and the such like. This case is plain, simple and IMO thats how a case should be. A little subtle lighting but nothing OTT. This will be the case of choice for the AGP Dothan rig. Want to be a silent extremely powerful machine, and this is the case to do it in. 4*120mm fans wired into a reobus for added control, and with looks like that, its gonna be a stunner.
Not to sure about the PCI card bracket and 80mm fan duct. Reckon they would give you the option to remove it completely and block the rear duct??
oooh, you could run another 120 in 3 of those drive bays, lol. I really like the inside of the case, but the outside is way to bland for me. I really like the look of the front of the computer w/out the cover and with a bit of finishing it would look really good.
Just one thing; the front is made of plastic; I saw this thing in real life at Fr'ys electronics. While it is gorgeous, the plastic is something you may want to keep in mind.
