    I think it looks too big, and I'm not really sure I like the idea of a having a secondary mini-ITX PC, I mean I thought mini ITXs are usually pretty slow (or fast and expensive) and I don't think many people would really need two PCs in one case, at least not a standard and a under-powered mini in one case. OTOH I suppose you could hook up 2 monitors to the box to play games and browse the web at the same time, but I'm really not sure what other advantages having a mini ITX would provide.

    If the case were more narrow, I'd like it a lot better. I'd also like to see the BTX support dead, I thought BTX was already an abandoned standard.

    Ah I don't plan on using the mini ITX but use the area for some of the water cooling equipment or somehow have the hard-drives located down there instead and have the water cooling equipment located in the old hard-drive bay therefore using gravity to assist me.

    BTX? Doesn't even actually use it at all?

    P.S. When I do get the case, I also want to do something to the front. I don't like the way it looks. Cheaply maybe I'll have Chinese Characters going down on the left side maybe. Or maybe Do some plexi glass work.

    My God that's ugly.

    I think Lian-Li do some big cases like that which may be easier to mod.

    Ugly? How can you say that?

    Even a plain simple case can turn into something beautiful.

    A case that size could have potential for something genuinely innovative, but IMO the thermaltake is poorly executed.

    in addition to that, any company that designs a case that size and then only puts 6 hdd bays in it needs beating with a mallet

    I've looked at the case and I agree it has potential. My only thing is that you could doa much better watercooling system in a smaller case. On the other hand if you were going to do watercooling/phase-cooling or integrate a chiller then that case would rock. I also hate how ugly the inside is. Grey metal makes me puke. Once you own a lian-li you can't go back. I'd look into a v-1200 or v2000. I fit two 360mm stealth radiators, 2 loops, 3 hdds, peltier blocks, and a pelt PSU into a v1200 and it's half that size. Just saying. Ohh and same price.
