Anyone got one of these?

Looks like a very smart way to deal with the length of the PSU/Optical drive issue, but that's the only thing I like about it. Cooling should be interesting - it uses the PSU fan to cool the entire case like the Antec Aria.

The PSU is mounted OUTSIDE the case in that pod on the back.

The design of that shuttle looks great although having a PSU cool the entire case? That sounds like asking for trouble to me. I think it should at the very least of an 80mm case fan on the top blowing air out.

It works fine in the Antec Aria. But in this system the PSU is standard sized and mounted away from the CPU area so you can fit a full-size cooler (or so I'm told by the AOpen rep.

List price is £65, which makes it a little bit cheaper than a Sugo.
