Oooooooh..................fugly.

I let my mind wander and it didn't come back.....
Looks really good high air flow and dust filters on the front and side panels. Dont look to be any cooling for the easy swap hard drive bays, but the other five bays are covered by the front fan.
Not sure I can see the point of something this size other than possibly as a server.
6 hard disks? With 2TB drives that is merely 12TB of storeage or maybe 9-10TB in RAID 5 configuration.
How many 3.5" slots do you need? I struggle passed 3, DVD/Blu-Ray, fan controller and maybe a card reader - given that the best fan controllers do not need a 3.5" bay I suppose I could have room for 2 DVD/Blu-ray drives and a music nut would probably want a front panel to plug in their kit.
These enormous cases are nothing more than a willy waving competition
another ugly case

Umm thoes tooless fittings are not easy swap hadr drive bays they are 5.25" bays
The hot swapable bays are the five bays blow it with each hard drive giong in it's own caddy.
Thoes dust filters
As to thoes who think the case is Fugly, just because you may not like the look does not mean others agree with you or it's ugly.
I do quite like the military-esk look and it's an improvement on the original HAF 932

I'm guessing it will be Steel as well :|

for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
all this complaining and no one has picked up on a major breakthrough with this case, namely usb 3 ports. I wonder how they did it since afaik the pinout arrangment of the headers hasn't been agreed on yet. Is it modular, are they hoping to be lucky and guessed what the standard might be or would there be adoptors to purchase in future.
The large number of air cooled 3.5in bays can be very useful. If you have several old disks you can split your data amongst the spindles for better performance.especially useful for virtual machines where you can put vhds on different disks so that vms have a drive to themselves.
The original HAF didn't support eatx and now this version ommits xlatx. Not a big issue but since even dualsocket mobos aren't that large.
Didn't one of those recent Lian-li cases have USB3 ?

Its a cable that runs inside the case to the back and out of the watercooling gromits to plug into the USB ports at the back. very ugly!all this complaining and no one has picked up on a major breakthrough with this case, namely usb 3 ports.
