Great bargain of this great case with side window. I will consider this case to replaced my outdated case.

Gun metal grey acrylic a little while after I bought mine. lol

Annoying they didn't release all the models in one hit, I would have bought the grey one.

I forgot about this model, recently got distracted by the glass version. Stupid question ahoy but what's the difference? In terms of looking at it with some form of light strip or RGB fans inside? The glass version isn't in stock until the second half of December you see.

Basically these have acrylic side panel windows, and the Glass version have tempered glass side panels.

Cheers, I know that

- I meant in regards to quality/appeal/finish. Isn't tempered a bit darker? The reason is, if the acrylic is barely any different to the glass, I will just order the former.

Searches on Google seems to be about fish tanks.

Did have my eye on the EVOLV ATX GLASS but this might be a better fit; lighter, cheaper and glass on only one side.

the two above are only acrylic side windows not glass

They need to do these in glass! I'd probably buy one if it was glass as my FD R4 needs PSU screws to secure my GPU in place, not only that but these look decent for AIO/Watercooling setups if I went down that route.

Another question. Can you buy dust filter material that can be easily cut? I note the two side front intakes aren't protected.

Tempered glass is far harder than plastic, meaning you wont put microfine scratches all over it every time you wipe the dust off. You can clean it daily if you want and it'll still look just as good years from now.

I have the glass variant, the front intakes are filtered

Best case I've ever owned, trumps the corsair 650d for me.

Looks great in the product shots, but give it six months lol! Acrylic needs to die. It's fine for what it is, and I can't argue with the price of this, plus the Pro M is a great case, but acrylic is just dreadful stuff so it SHOULD be cheap, because it is. Once you see glass you realise just how much better it looks, not only in and of itself, but how much better your components look behind it with lighting.

The black glass version seems to be out of stock everywhere

. Wanted to get one for my brother for Christmas, but might have to settle for something else.

In the week of Christmas? I won't be holding my breath. I wonder how many they are receiving.

ChugNorris · 12 Dec 2016 at 09:48

Rejoice, there will be 50 arriving next Tuesday, if you preorder now it should guarantee shipment before Xmas.

doodah · 12 Dec 2016 at 10:08

Thanks for the quick update. If you order a number of items, can you request all to be delivered once the pre-order item is in stock?

Is that for the glass sidepanel version? I was told there was no ETA on more stock via webnote, but that was on Sunday.

I think he means the glass version and OcUK have previously said the glass version was due around December 19th
