    Its quite a neat idea allowing for a much shorter case, not sure about the wisdom of it as graphic cards are gear for blowing out the back and the hard drives will get warm air over them with a front exit. Frankly though I don't understand why no cases seem to put the PSU over CPU any more, Ok you can't pick an after market monster of a CPU fan, but people who get one of those normally buy a larger case anyway.

    Not much different from PC-A05NB apart from USB and audio moved from the top to the front: http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/info_1067.html Oh and the slots moved from top to bottom - OK maybe a slight difference

    Was gonna say, it's a "right way round" version of the A05NB (Which I have, and confess it's bloody good).
    Moo.

    I've got a modified A05NB with a couple of extra side mounted fans. It's a great case, especially considering the size. The short height and back to front airflow is ideal for mounting under a desk.
