Terrific design
By D. R. Jones
This case is fantastically designed and provides you with a sense of confidence through the PC build process and into the final product. It's a full sized-tower case that you will need to make room for under the desk, but leaves ample breathing room inside for your prized components. Ventilation is among the best I have seen, with the 'twist' being the motherboard is rotated 90 degrees; your video card and other hot, sweaty components are aligned to allow air to be forced vertically through the case. Two large 180cm fans draw air in through the bottom, past two magnetically attached mesh air filters, over the cards, and out through the top exhaust.Cable management is good but not perfect. There's tonnes of room to route cables along the unusually large reverse side of the case, but you may find that some cables including those on modular power supplies and SATA cables to any DVD drives are just slightly too short for comfortable, mess-free routing. Disks and SSD's can also be installed in this rear area, freeing up the front drive bays for fans or just to help you get a 'clean' build.An ample number of drive bays outfit that front portion of the enclosure, with removable brackets allowing additional front fans to be painlessly installed (even without tools). Once built, this housing provides what are certainly the lowest internal temps I've gotten, even without additional aftermarket case fans or cooling. With an i5 3570k @ 4.4Ghz and a Radeon HD7950 overclocked to 1000mhz/1350mhz I'm getting CPU temps of 52C and GPU temps of 46C under full Prime95/3dMark/Crysis testing. Not too shabby.Overall I would recommend this case to enthusiasts looking to push high overclocks on air, people who are comfortable with cable management, and those with lots of free space in their offices.

By Andrew Ballard
This is a solid air cooling case, the design means there are no hotspots inside, because two huge 180mm air penetrator fans (all bottom intakes have magnetic dust filters) are at the bottom blowing air upwards out the top of the case, over both the CPU/VRM area and the PCI-E slots, excellent for GPUs that use larger fan/heatsink combos over 'blower' types. This also means HUGE GPUs are not under mechanical stress, no bending cards! There is also option for a 120mm fan over the cpu backplate area, either intake or exhaust, which would also aid cooling of the HDD/SSD zone which is behind the motherboard, and provides 4 vibration damped HDD mounts and a twin SDD mount, there are also 6 or so HDD mounts in the front, also vibration damped! The PSU is in it's own little area at the bottom front, raised somewhat from the filter so the PSU fan can work more efficiently.Cable routing inside and general installation of drives does take thought and planning, but the ability for both is there.There is only ONE OPTICAL BAY ready for you, at the top of the front 7 bays, so make sure you have a long enough SATA cable for routing it, I'd suggest 100cm with straight connectors, I installed my windows from USB using the windows USB tool from Microsoft. The other 6 Bays can be used too, but it's a task to remove the fan mounts, drive cages, etc...this case is well put together so it takes some dismantling if those bays are required.The 7 optical bay covers are in two parts, an outer hard shell for cosmetics and inner meshed (dust filtered) frame if you want to go full on air cooling and mount more internal fans along the right edge of the motherboard (as located in the case), truly excellent.All cables; fan control, audio, power, leds and reset, are pre-routed, very nice, took 30 seconds to connect up the motherboard headers!The side window is perfectly placed, can see everything you'd want and nothing you'd not.Build quality is actually very good, the looks might not appeal and the jaggedness could lend itself to a tacky appearance, but the case is rock solid and the plastics quite robust feeling. It certainly does not look tacky in reality, though the two side bulges at the bottom front are not ideal, they are a functional design feature and necessary.Whilst being quite large, the case saves on footprint space by having all ports located at the top, meaning you can place it very close against a back wall, with just enough space for any cables to come out.I've Given this case 5 stars because there's just little else that offers what this case does to someone not interested in liquid cooling, there is not a chance I'd use a traditional layout over this design again.
