i like it, slightly odd with the top having the pci cards and stuff. I just wonder if they'd be stealthed like with the cables coming out the back instead of having to remove the cover.

Yeah, I believe it'll be released soonish...

Not sure myself...

That is utterly foul

DampCat · 3 Jan 2009 at 11:10

why on earth do you need a flash site with ludicrous sound effects for a case

Mr-White · 3 Jan 2009 at 11:22

thats looks awesome

they do a mouse too

was gonna say the mouse looks great, the case has a distinct stealth bomber look to it.

Lets hop it doesnt live up to the real stealth fighter and results in friendly fire pc crashes on your mates pc's and those of women and children

Fixed? It's not a farm-yard bird?

fowl is often used to mean any sort of bird (although it does have a specific meaning)

Yeah, domesticated bird used primarily as a source of food.

I'm yet to see Raven in sainsburys, thus it isn't fowl.

lol

Its not a very nice case, Im not a fan of steel either!

oh goodness, stop being such a bore, colloquially it it can be used to refer to ANY sort of 'bird' sheesh, do you have no sense of humour?

Mr-White · 3 Jan 2009 at 12:10

Here's some better pics.

Having a closer look i like the design but it looks a bit too cheap

MW

bledd · 3 Jan 2009 at 12:35

probably has good features, but it's ugly as sin

looks like the stupid coolermaster range that have handles and the stacker

lol

simisker · 3 Jan 2009 at 12:54

I appear to agree with the consensus here; the feature set looks interesting, but it looks like it was designed by David Braben on a BBC B.

I'm also concerned about how they've addressed external cable management. Don't forget, everything's sticking out of the top now.

EdGey · 3 Jan 2009 at 12:57

i think it looks good tbh, good idea for the airflow of the case too..makes complete sense.

shame they didnt go the whole way with black interior but oh well.

id nver buy one cos im not that type of guy lol, but they do look pretty awsome.

Dicehunter · 3 Jan 2009 at 13:12

Looks very futuristic, i like it but im guessing it will come with a premium price tag to match the looks.
Kind of reminds me of megatron from the recent transformers movie

sir-les-mp · 3 Jan 2009 at 16:44

It definatley has some interesting feature's
I like the idea of having the hot air expelled directly out of the top of the case
but the idea of having all my cables connected there at the top does put me off a bit.
Looking at it it dosent seem to offer much for the WC enthusiats although i dare say they will find a way of getting there rad's in there somehow.

rjk · 3 Jan 2009 at 17:05

reminds me of the acer predator range but less... orange

silverstone cases are the best build quality wise - far superior to lian li
[i should know - i do build 8+ systems a day]

but this one certainly has very 'love it or hate it' looks to it

i think it will sell well if it is priced around £120 as it would undercut the cosmos series and also a lot of other gamer cases

it does include the quick snap clips for optical drives and the hot swap drive bays that are featured on the fortress FT01 [ my case], they are pretty useful and aid in building your system

the motherboard facing downwards is interesting. dont know how well it will work in real life
