Xigmatek Aquila - mATX case

This new case from Xigmatek looks interesting. Unique slant on the motherboard tray and plenty of space for a decent tower cooler.

that looks like it would be pretty pleasant to build in. Only thing that would raise an eyebrow would be the lack of HDD airflow - spinning drives do tend to get pretty toasty hidden away like that. I particularly like the flat mobo tray. Hugemongous coolers hanging off vertical motherboards seem like a recipe for problems to me.

To my mind the only downside is that installing a rad in the roof looks like it will interfere with the CD drive mounting. Call me old fashioned but I like to have them.

Looks like an awesome little case, could be a bit of competition now for the bitfenix prodigy. M-Atx and sli being a huge advantage over the prodigy. The big question would be airflow though

Aerocool have announced a case that appears to be the same internally, with a different plastic fascia - http://www.aerocool.com.tw/chassis/ds/1021.html I wonder if we're about to see loads of slight variations on the exact same product?

Nice Find!!!
I actually prefer the Aerocool one.
Wonder if you could squeeze a radiator in the front there...

Mmm.. the aerocool for me, too. Leather touch. Actually, they both make my current box look like an ol' biscuit tin. Those aerocool ports on top would never fill with dust, now would they...? I'm gonna say it's a shame the front panel has a punchout for an FDD. But I like the package.
