Fractal Design Define XL

Anyone running one of these?

I'm still using my trusty black widow from many moons ago, but feel the need for a larger case as working on anything in the black widow is just a pain.

Also I'm running a 5970 (which fits in the black widow strangely enough!) so some additional space / modern cooling would help.

Nice, the cooling performance looks a bit crap here:

Have you got any pics Jimmy?

Is that chart based on stock cooling only? Or do they fill all the fans?

I'd imagine stock cooling?

Yeah, I did notice the lack of interest in it. Not really sure what you mean by being squashed inside, looks pretty good to me?

Maybe I should be looking at alternatives. The HAF X gets good reviews, but just not sure if I can get on with the design.
