    Not a fan of the lights, but a case like that, some huge passive coolers, and silence!

    The black one looks fairly nice, but the big silver thing just looks horrible and tacky.

    Though this is coming from someone who owns an Antec P160 with a window and some blue LED fans, so....

    I would imagine the side fan is 12.5cm.....the majority of new cases with side fans are using these...

    Sometimes a little aint enough...

    There's a case I saw a few weeks/months back that had a mahoosive fan on the side - easily took up almost all of the side panel.

    Can't remember who made it, but I'll keep my eyes open.

    Is the mirage being shown at Computex? or is it a secret?

    mind you, having a small and quite crap case , for ages, i never really realised quite how big 12cm was in terms of fans - a fan the size of a cd?! and then along comes Akasa with 25cm?!?!?

    Well I have a 120mm in the same position on my tower & if you ask me, its a very sensible place to put a large fan - you get cool air for your graphics cards, CPU, chipsets, mosfets, everything.
