like the look of that

Monkeyspaz5000 · 14 Nov 2012 at 17:19

It does look decent!!

I would want to WC the thing though.

a 240 rad in the front should be ok. Don't know if the mesh in the roof could support the weight of a 200mm rad or not though.

But I do defo like the look of it!!

Saw this last night on Linus tech tips review
I think that mesh could be quite flimsy for a rad perhaps

Saw that too last night.

If it could support a 200rad in the roof, 240 in the front and even a 120 at the rear I would give it a go.

You new chassis addiction is worst than mine now !!

Now cm have had a go at a cube I think there maybe a few more mainstream efforts.

I think it looks a bit plastic carton on the front. Not my cup of tea but nice to think more cubes could crop up

OOOOHHH. I like. Shouldn't get a case though, I already have a small one. OMG, I like though...

Hehe, ya, I am kinda nuts about small systems now.

Havark · 14 Nov 2012 at 18:25

Hehe i sure will be water cooling this case when i get my hand on one. Duel rad will fit fine in the front not sure about the rear tho. and the top i plan on getting the version with a plastic top to have a look inside every once in a while.

Monkeyspaz5000 · 14 Nov 2012 at 19:08

Any ideas on uk price for this?

Pgreenwo · 14 Nov 2012 at 19:38

£90 approx according to a quick google.

Apem · 15 Nov 2012 at 01:39

Was liking it till I watched the review seems to have the same flaws as the 932 namely all the holes for the dust especialy on the side panels the gpu is just going to suck it all in.

Havark · 15 Nov 2012 at 08:30

i dunno about £90 if you go by exchange rates plus a little more tax you looking about £70/75

OptimaLnrg · 15 Nov 2012 at 12:36

the internal layout is great, but the typical HAF styling is vulgar

Kosmiche · 15 Nov 2012 at 17:16

ERR, looks like a microwave.

No thanks

Apem · 15 Nov 2012 at 18:52

I would get it if those vents had filters but not how it is it is going to be huge dust magnet.

Pgreenwo · 15 Nov 2012 at 23:20

^Agreed as the top is a big gaping hole in reality!

Pgreenwo · 15 Nov 2012 at 23:20

Found this on the bay for £2.99

Great air-cooling

lmfao

It's so frustrating because I like the layout and I'd like to put a window in the top of this, block the side panels with noise-dampening and boom! My folding rig!

But the front, THE FRONT! it's so hideous.
