    Beautiful case! Beautiful build..

    I almost got one myself but ended up going for the new Phanteks Enthoo Primo... so now I waiting for their slow boat from China to arrive.

    Phanteks Enthoo Primo is what I was considering first, but I didnt like the look of it. Then I though of the Xigmatek Elysium, but didnt really need a full tower type. When I saw this case though, I knew it was the one I wanted, and it turned out to be perfect.

    540 is a very nice case. I don't know about Primo being better. It just appeals to my taste a little more I guess. Besides what a boring place this would be if we all liked the same things.

    You did a very nice build. Hope mine comes out as nice.

    Nice. Followed this case for ages since it was announced but never got round to buying it after the first round of reviews.

    Looks really nice though. Wonder if it would be wasted hidden under my desk.

    Liking the lighting

    Your temps are impressive. Considering that you are running i7 980 @4.3 Ghz. I think its one of the best Air 540 builds I've seem under air that has both looks and performance combined. Nicely done

    I do really like this case - it is very tempting. But is it tempting enough to tempt me away from my inwin?? Hmmmm
