    Gonna get this one, watched a 40+ min youtube vid on this case three times now, was thinking about the 750d but then saw this and think its almost the perfect case

    Nice and clean with what appears to be good build quality. Bit small to be a real enthusiast WC case (bit tight around the MB area) in my opinion but definitely more than enough for the "average" WC user. Style aside not much if anything matches the build quality of a Caselabs case. I was really tempted to get a Caselabs when I replaced my Corsair 800D earlier this year but the need to meticulously plan out all the options/modules and filters prior to ordering was too much of a chore for me in the end.

    Re: Phanteks Enthoo Primo

    Shipment is half way from China
    I'm guess end of month or early November.
    18/10/2013 in California plus 2 weeks additional travel time to Uk is 1/11/2013. That is assuming both ships departed China same day. Probably a day or 2 difference in departures.

    Re: Phanteks Enthoo Primo

    Ah - on a slow boat from China.

    I'm eager to get some non-reviewers feedback on the build quality of these, I desperately need more rad space than my old Lian-Li has.

    Not really keen of the frontage of the 900D, could be one of these or a Caselabs SMH10.

    I don't know what it is about cases with doors but even though I now don't often use an optical drive they still annoy me. I haven't added my system spec yet but since I'm using an old Thermaltake Kandalf I'm currently wincing at the thought of another year with a less than sleek design.

    The American builds are showing up now. Can't wait for containers to get here. Should be most any time now.. up to 10 days at most.

    That is a pretty nice looking case, still on the fence about the blue down the side though, reckon I would need to see it in person to be sure
