    Just found this case

    CFI Taiji
    http://power.zol.com.cn/slide/340/3401310_1.html
    (CFI seems to be the OEM for the Azza Fusion 4000 and 3000)

    Cannot find it for sale in the UK
    $125 on newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811855009
    So slightly cheaper than the Corsair C70, Fractal design define XL R2, NZXT Phantom 530 or LIAN LI PC-9F

    I really like that dual door configuration

    Looks pretty futuristic. Too futuristic for my taste but there will be a market for it, I am sure.

    Not quite with you on futuristic.
    I do think the side panels would look better if they where flat without the pressed out sections.
    The top and front seem to be plastic bezels while a thin sheet of black anodized brushed aluminium glued to them (must like corsair has done with the obsidian cases) gives it a nice clean finish as all the air vents are moved to the sides of the bezels, but it does clash more with the pressed out side panels

    It looks a little flimsy in places and I'm not keen on the aesthetics, but the layout and features look fantastic.

    I like the idea of the bottom plastic bezel in addition to the standard feet. If you put your pc on the floor, especially on carpet, there's more clearance for the PSU intake - it wont be such a hoover!

    Plenty of cable management holes in, and space behind, the mobo tray for a tidy system. 6 front USB ports inc 2 USB3. More watercooling grommets than you can shake a stick at.

    I think the best feature, that I don't recall seeing in a consumer case, is the setup in pic 19. Wire it up once and then any time you fit or remove a disk you don't have to fiddle with the damn cables, just slide the drive in/out, and that's made even easier with the 2-door design! 6 HDD bays isn't to be sniffed at either, although I'm sure there are cases with more.

    Honestly if this case makes it over here I'm going to be very tempted, despite the fact I think it's hideous in its current incarnation. As Pob says, the side panels would look far better if they were flat, and personally I'd want to lose all the red bits, but I'm boring

    I'm not completely sold on the looks, the hinges look a bit snaptastic and I bet it rattles like a screen door in a hurricane.

    I'd still buy it, because it could be fun to mod.

    A 30 or 45mm thick 360mm rad in the roof would suffice for most people, and there's the option of a 240 at the front, with a spot of Dremelling; if you don't mind sacrificing the nifty drive bays.

    It ain't tiny, that's for sure.
