lack of 3.5 bays is the deal breaker for me i got 6 hard drives and there is no place for them to go in this case.

DAMN!

I just assumed there would be plenty...but there aren't! It's got 2 "hot swappable" 3.5" bays and 4 2.5" SSD slots (it actually says 4 tool free SSD cages, I assume a cage holds 1 drive?). I don't know about anyone else but I have 1 SSD and many standard HDs...Which makes this case pretty useless.

Is the explanation correct on the product, they aren't the other way around are they? 4 SSDs seems rather odd, however it seems about right for standard hard drives.

Double damn, was thinking this might be my new case, but I have 6 hdds as well.

Meh

On the watercooling front which I'm personally more interested in this sucks unfortunately. Who wants to have lots of 140mm radiators? It's much easier/cheaper and more efficient having nice big radiators. Looking at that video the radiator in the front looks terrible and covering a third of the motherboard up?

You can get either a thick 360 on the front with just push or pull or a black ice 360 with push+pull judging by the looks of the gap between back of GPU and front of case plus the cpu 4/6 pin is far enough away from the top that you could get a thick 240/280 rad in there too. Also looking at the gap between the bottom of the case and the bottom of the motherboard you could possibly mod it to fit another 240 in there. How much rad space do you want?

You can 4-way SLI/Crossfire actually. ;)

would have preferred it if it was like the Silverstone cases and turned 90 degree as air cool 4 way sli like that would not work very well, especially if you look that there the duII versions that machine would run like nails......

Looks good though :cool:
 
Very nice looking case and on my possible list. Wish it was Aluminium rather that steel to reduce weight and improve cooling further.

Looking forward to seeing if a small radiator will fit in the top, personally I do like to water cool my processor as it is not so prone to dust build up.
