    I like it, but I'd like it more if they'd stop cramming all the unnecessary fixtures inside it. More empty space would be nice. And another 2" in depth.

    Powdercoating aluminium... such a waste.

    I wonder why they don't offer a non-window version... And no, the PC-X500 doesn't count.

    I'd end up removing the card support bar, the PSU cradle and the lower HDD cage to make room for the watercooling. But, only if it were 2" deeper. If I left that crap in there it'd look like a real cluster****.

    The support bar and the PSU cages are removable so that's a non-issue really... however, where would you install the PSU if you want to put watercooling in its place?

    Funny, I thought free extras were nice?

    Card support bar - useful if I want to keep something like my 5970 x2 setup from dropping dead whenever I move my computer?

    PSU cradle - useful because people who buy this will probably use a large PSU, which tends to weigh a lot.

    Lower HDD cage - Now, this case was not made for watercooling, so why are you complaining in the first place?

    Actually that's so that you don't have to use screws.

    But really, it's all optional, doesn't get in anyone's way.

    I love it. Am sure there will soon be a red and silver version as well. If only it were a little longer a nice 420 would fit up front. Then it would be golden.

    please Lian li, I hope you plan to release some of this kind of designs in the Lancool range as well.

    I'm assuming it's anodized on the outside, couldn't it be anodized on the inside aswell?
