On this page we present some super high resolution images of the product taken with the 24.5MP Nikon D3X camera and 24-70mm ED lens. These will take much longer to open due to the dimensions, especially on slower connections. If you use these pictures on another site or publication, please credit Kitguru.net as the owner/source.
Awesome, but the pricing make me cry. that will probably cost over £200 in UK, although I cant find it anywhere. you pay for the design and use of materials.
Very lovely! I dig the internal design. although its a shame its not tool less.
They could have made it about 1 cm ‘fatter’ to accommodate a whole new range of CPU coolers. Ideal would be an all in one liquid cooler however as they are small and there are fan positions for the radiator very close by.
The tool less design should have been passed over to the internal rack system, however I dont think the screws could be fitted in any way to accommodate the size.
It looks a bit big for what I would consider a true media chassis, but for gamers it would be good thanks to the shape.
They might get a few negative comments on the GPU size support, counting out the HD6990 etc.
What is the point of mesuring temperatures without the odd and hdd bays installed ?
Obviously, the air flow will be worse with the ODD cage on its way.
It would have been more useful to have temperatures and noise levels in a sli or crossfire configuration and the ODD and the HDD installed.
I used this case in a new HTPC build. Great case. Couple changes I made…shortened the ODD cage bottom by 22mm to clear the M/B power cable. Also the ODD cage blocked the front case fan, so I moved it to opposite side to exhaust warm air. Improved air flow.
I used Noctua NH-L12 CPU cooler…nice. No room for water cooling radiator and fan.
I think I should mention that the dimensions given for the PSU & VGA card length are only true if the rear harddrive bay cage is removed. Also, while the CPU Cooler height is accurate, they should mention that the support bar limits the height of VGA cards in the first PCIe slot to 130mm.

I used a Noctua NH-L12. There are two issues with it, the first being that the heatsink overhangs 3 of 4 memory slots. So you have to install memory before the heatsink. Second, the length of the optical drive has to be as short as possible. I kept both fans on the heatsink, but you could definitely remove the top fan and safely use the pc without overclocking. The Noctua fans are very quiet, and the heatsink is very effective.
You could use the NH-L12 fanless if you use a low wattage CPU like an i3-2100T or i3-2120T.
It was a really BAD idea to submit a review without the ODD and the HDD…
=> I put 2 HDD and they hit 39-40° at idle !
(34 and 37° with a 900rpm Aerocool Shark 12cm)
How can you sya the fans are silent as I hear the motor cache mess with the fan filter !
For now I had to put the filter outside and add little pads
