Classy cases? Thing of the past?

Should give a V series side panel a test, not flimsy at all.

I agree about the lesser models though, PC-7 in particular.

Cheers for the heads up, Been trying to find out how they scale up through the models for sometime.

id say £150

sounds about right.

"It's rumored to become available in mid-October and the MSRP is set to be US$269 (€182/£145). which is a bit on the expensive side, but it looks like it'll be well worth it"

seems normal for a high end case

I've been lucky enough to use a lot of CM ATCS cases and as has been said nothing really compares.

their cooling is dated now so I've moved on a Silverstone TJ10 but its got flimsy sidepanels and isn't really up to scratch.

These new ATC's are a step in the right direction, But i'm more interested in where they go next with the series TBH.

I like the top half but the bottom is a bit meh. Half way there for me.

Im with you on that bottom half of the case thing but the modder in me keeps thinking that it would look bloody awesome with something cool laser cut into the big panel at the bottom.

Gotta say, i feel the same way as you guys. i had a 201 and since then there hasn't really been any classy cases - they are all "bling bling" these days. i tell ya, kids dictate the direction of everything these days, including what we watch on TV, and look what happened there.

Right now if i had to choose, i'd def go with a Lian li 1010a/b, those do look smart indeed. One of these paired with a Hazro HZ26Wi 26" (once they sort out the issue's) will look better than anything out there.

V1000Z also looks to be just as good. not sure which i would get!
