Looks interesting, it *could* shake up the stale £50-£70 price range.

Will OcUK be getting these in stock?

Wow that looks nice.
Same price as an Antec 300 at the moment.

Ace Modder · 3 Dec 2010 at 10:55

mmmmmm

Kosmiche · 3 Dec 2010 at 12:20

Looks like one of the hiper cases that were released a while back

Cookeh · 3 Dec 2010 at 12:31

That is nice.

Approx price, Ace?

Looks nice, and from the pics looks solidly built.

d_brennen · 3 Dec 2010 at 13:14

Ah I read about these a while ago, nice to actually see it in the flesh. Love the front, looks very industrial.

that is a cool looking case

These guys really know how to make nice looking cases. There is not one Fractal Design that I do not like the look of.

very nice lookiong case

Be nice to see a bigger brother of it with room for water as that front vent area is just screaming for a rad behind it.

I think if you remove one of the drive cages (who reaaaaally uses 8 drives anyway?) you may well be able to fit a small res in the space, no?

Even i like that one. That's a nice looking case with good cable management, good cooling potential and a good size mobo cut out for a cpu backplate too. £70 is a fair price too.

GeezerButler · 4 Dec 2010 at 18:37

I like this a lot - seems like a good price too.

tbh · 5 Dec 2010 at 07:41

Oh sweet, looks like the long search for my next case is over!

antran · 5 Dec 2010 at 23:18

I like it, new case for the new year.

Not sure whether any of you have read the comments section but one of the main people for Fractal Design replied in there with more info.

"Hello everyone,

Some quick comments from us at Fractal;

- We'll release new pictures shortly, in which I promise the whole design will make much more sense. Especially top and front panel...
- Dual 120 rads, also thicker ones up to 60mm, will fit perfectly even with bigger memory modules like for example Corsair Dominator
- There is 2x 140mm fan slots in the front, not 120mm
- It will be 1x USB 3.0 and 3x USB 2.0
- Expected street price is 69.99 GBP / 79.99 EUR incl. VAT
- The case is considerably wider than Define, which gives much more space behind the M/B plate for cable routing
- There is 8x HDD trays, not 7x, and the upper four are in a removable, rotatable HDD cage."

Really liking the case, especially at the price they have done it for. I hate the style of cases most companies are going for these days, but Fractal Design always seem to be spot on.
