    it would be a good buy if its was £50-60 inc VAT, doesn't really stand out among the crowd

    it'll never compete with the Antec 1200 unless you needed e-ATX, which is probably less than 1% of people.

    Hi LuckNV we tried to get near to this price point but "fair trade" labour work initiatives and other factors has come into play but the case you strongly promote is well over the ton mark (£) so no real balance (apple for a pear). I believe once all Akasa stockists have received their shipments and published their prices you might see more attractive prices from the disclosed RRP.

    Nice review, I think the case is pretty good for the money, I actually like the styling of it, as a 900 user I can see some features which I wouldn't mind having myself. It looks a little tall imo, but i suppose as a trade-off you get much more space inside for better airflow or a WC setup.

    as Howard from Akasa has joined - hello Howard, welcome to HEXUS..

    I have a question.. any plans on making this case with side mounted hard drives? so whatever is in the PCI slots don't get in the way when removing/swapping drives.


    very handy feature on my XaserIII, would upgrade to this case if feature is implemented..


    psst..red fans for an ATI themed one wouldn't go amiss either..

    Please excuse me if there is an obvious answer to this but i can not see how the 5.25in drives screw into the days. Could some-one please point out the bleeding obvious to me!

    You attach drive rails (provided) to the 5.25in device, unclip the front bezel, and slide them in from the front.

    Hi Kerotan - if wish to close up then go the i34 (multiplay-mfestival) this week-end in fact Intel ,Multiplay & us are giving four Zor chassis away during the weekend also with Intel extreme stuff.

    Hi Stevie lee -In our R&D we have incorporated side mounted hard drive mounting but a long wait is expected

    Hi stevie lee - Not currently but in our R&D we have a few things that we are going to introduce
    but I all takes a very long time in chassis design cycle - but rest assured it will have a strong offering
    in the storage area .
