    How can they seriously expect to market a premium pc with that choice of (horrendous) case and a non colour matched fan controller!??!

    The poor cable management sent a shiver down my spine.

    Between the case and the cable management, the thing which abused your eye was the cabling? lol

    What can I say, the case isn't pretty but that mess behind the motherboard is truly horrific.

    Would you be having the back of the motherboard tray prominently displayed on your desk?

    It could be much tidier, but lets be honest, you're neither going to see it, nor is it going to affect the performance of the system.

    Not too keen on the case at all myself. Looks too bulky and basically ugly.
