Is this your own rig?

For a gaming/lan case, I'd have liked it to have 1 handle for carrage instead of two handed. Looks to be good build quailty however.

Still think the next case for me will be the Antec 1100.

Keep up the good work.
 
I think you did a very good job of the review, good camera work, good sound. Someone give this girl a tech review job please.

In regards to the c70, the rugged design of the case does not really appeal to me personally. I like clear cut lines simple designs. However those quick release latches could be a godsend for guys who are always tinkering around with their hardware. The drawback though is that if it were taken to LAN events, it would be just as easy for someone else to go and help themselves within the interior.
The interior layout seems very nice though, very versatile, everything needed for a tidy build.

Just can't get past the looks of the exterior though.
 
Yeah it was a decent first review, straight to the point. As someone already said, would have liked to see the drive bays removed but that's just a small thing really.
 
Nice to see you doing something that isn't fans! :)

It's a pretty cool review, not sure I like the case particularly, or the colour!

There were clearly no issues this time with your voice this time :)

That side panel is vile...

Some features are quite cool though. Those HDD fans will help with cooling, and those cable ties will no doubt help some people, but I'm not quite sure I like how they look. That said, I am being remarkably picky, and 99% of people won't care about how they look, because you'd never see them.... Also, interesting that you didn't use them when you did cable management, any reason why not?

I'm guessing you're talking better air cooling than the 800D rather than watercooling xD

It could make a lovely build, but I'm not quite sure it's 'my thang'.

Side panel without dust filters is kind of standard, thankfully, but that side window really is hideous.

You forgot to mention whether it would fit something like the D14/Phanteks, also rad support for the top? Would it fit a full size rad with push/pull in the top or the such like? Stuff like that would mean you could tell whether you could get away with a 240 in top (or even just gap between top of motherboard and top of case - It seemed like there was a bit of clearance beneath the H100...). Info on that would be quite useful.

Not sure we quite needed the footage with it on, but it was a nice touch.

Overall, despite the couple of niggles, that was a pretty good first case review. You seemed to cover most of the stuff well and there were clearly no issues with the sound etc... You also seem much more comfortable on screen now a days. But it would have been nice to include the small bits as well. Also you managed to fit the whole video into a pretty good length and cover a pretty good selection of info, so that was good too :)

Very good review. You're welcome to fit my 5.25" harddrive in your bay any time. :D

Here's another review from OC3D
