cool doors but not sure that's worth the price for what sounds like a noisy case...
now if Antec could just incorporate this door system in to some of its cases...

Credit to Coolermaster for incorporating the water cooling features (about time in a mainstream case). However I still feel they are playing catch up with the likes of Lian-Li, who have had sideway mounted Hdd for some time (see V1000 range). As others have said, I think the orange front piece slightly detracts form the quality of the case.
I still think they aren't quite to the same standard as the likes of antec with the P160/180, which tbh shares a similar layout, albeit with a removable motherboard tray and better thought out hard drive cage (it allows more air through).
Personally I like the styling, but with the simple stamped rear fan mounting it gives a similar look & feel to the cheap £30 cases from ebuyer...
this case looks good.. but it has nothing new to offer compared to my thermaltake tsunami... same build, same internal features, aluminium, so nothing new really. However i really like the way it looks and would like to get it for another build of mine.
The biggest letdown is the RRP of £89, if thats the case im better off getting another tsunami.. £90 for this case is asking too much.... im expecting it to be priced around £60-£75, if not then maybe ill wait till it goes to the £60 mark before I get it. If it had a removable mobo tray, some extra sound dampening features, or a PSU then £89 would have been a bargain.
sadly by the looks of its quality, i can much more relate it to the soprano which is priced around £50... I think soprano and this case both looks equally good, the build and features, the placement of audio and usb ports are better in soprano... ahh well, i reread the review twice now and all I can do is compare it with the soprano and no much more... =/ thats a case that has a value of £50 overpriced to £90.... £40 would have bought me a good PSU... wellp, ill reserve my judgement until it releases.
edit**
scan is selling it even at £93.. This pricing has further let me down... crazy in fact!
That is a nice looking case, though I would probably get something a little smaller.
