  1. Take my money, I love the power supply idea, get it OUT OF THE WAY!

  2. Its a great looking case, I agree. I am tempted to upgrade my system for the coming year now with one of these at the foundation…. my old thermaltake is on its last legs

  3. Looks very different which I like. Not sure I want to hide my power supply though, i paid £250 for it and love it!

  4. well done in installing a 100% AIRCOOLED system in this WATERCOOLING case… *facepalm*

  5. Is it possible to remove the entire hdd drive bay, to allow higher airflow into the case?
    And how long videocard is supported?
