Absolutely beautiful, but I would be concerned about the discrete graphics card space. what is the maximum room in there for a GPU?
This or Bitfenix Prodigy? decisions, decisions. what do you guys think?
Funky! I’ve just ordered one, I’ll see if it fits in the living room :)… The drawback is the ports backplate facing upward the chassis. When all is wired it will have an different look, a somewhat “techno-sculpture” : with phosphorescent Water cooling tubing it could get that ugly… Maybe I’ll try to put an aluminum cover on top, perpendicular to the front panel’s curvature at that point (parallel to the ports backplate), maybe also on the sides so as to somewhat enclose and hide the backport (which would also protect the ports and wire headers). Bah I’ll see, It ‘l be as it goes!
