Looks like a bee hive

That watercooling setup makes it look like a bee hive with an ants nest in it.
Jokes aside, I like the look of it!!!

It always amuses me when they take pics of a case without the cables plugged in.. Yes that looks nice and neat but the chances of it looking like that after fitting 2 lots of pcie power, atx power etc is minimal..

looks interesting. internal layout is cool, though not sure if i'd want to put a rad in there or just an air cooler.

looks like dust would be an issue

Kanifee · 23 Dec 2014 at 16:08

i like.

Why are all the minimalist designs in matx, would love some for atx, i couldn't be harassed with changing out my Z97 already just to get a evolv or one of these though i prefer the internal layout of this.

I like it, be nice if it came in some other colour options rather than just black or white.

Thank you for posting the feedback thread up!

I'm Editor22 aka Nate George from E22 and CEO of Hex-Gear. I will try and answer any questions that come up in here

Some ATX love is planned for a bit later in the year (don't worry I am itching for my own personal ATX model)

At the moment its only possible to change the accent pack colour however we are always open to new ideas if there is a demand for it! Plus as all of the panels are flat, repainting at home will be relatively easy.

Really really nice, if I didn't have a Parvum I'd buy one. Mind you I may still get one.

A more reliable release date would be nice.

Good to hear!

We will be updating the release date in the new year once we have assessed the company launch. One thing I can say is this, we will never sell a case that is not ready for immediate despatch

Hi Nate,

First off would like to say what a fantastic case it is.

Cant wait to get my hands on one, however i have a few questions:

1. Is there a Orange color available in the accent pack?

2. This may seem a weird one, but i spent an hour looking at the case design and still finding it hard to see where the PSU kettle lead will come out of the case? Am i being stupid and missing a trick here?

momo56 · 24 Dec 2014 at 11:08

Is the price listed anywhere ?

Digital X · 24 Dec 2014 at 12:29

A huge yes from me! Was going to ask about the price in the contact us section but didn't want to give my number out. They look similar to the Hadron cases, but this is better

That was my first thought. Possibly noisy as well. It's open in the photos but I'd assume that was just to give a better view of the case and that in a final build there would be a filter/cover of some kind there?

Looks good IMO though.

Apem · 24 Dec 2014 at 13:26

What price will they be?

From a the pictures ive seen, the psu kettle lead comes out the back via the bottom channel, theres also a 90degree angle for the psu lead to plug into to make this easier. It also appears you can mount it in the top or bottom depending on which
plates you use for each position.

Theres some good shots in this build log. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18642719&page=2

I really like the feet on this

Glad you like it! We have not arrived at a final price yet but it will definitely be sub £200

There are panels that fit on both sides, one with an acrylic window the other solid I have had an early prototype running next to me for 5 months now and I can honestly say noise is not an issue.

Exactly this, we include a 90deg adapter in the box to and the cable runs out of the back. The PSU & 2 x 120 fan plate can be mounted in the top or the bottom. You can see the 4 possible exit points in this image.
