Just reading up on boxgods excellent review, it looks good and impressive I like the fact its 2 things + over my Akasa Eclipse 62, ones theres decent air vent holes on the front and second the hdd caddy+120mm intake fan is adjustable meaning more space and better airflow for other components, + a nice 120mm on the side for addon cards like hot X2900XTXs

Anyone got one and if so any good? are u happy with it.

Note if theres a 1000+ page thread somewhere my bad....

Looks like a Lian-Li Eclipse 62, just not quite as long front->back.

With a sexier front!

Would love to hear some personal reviews from people who own it.

Ditto that was my thoughts also, ive been looking for a better case in all areas then my Akasa Eclipse62, this is the only case ive seen that remotely gets there, if u check the review u can move the hdd caddy upwards towards the middle or top of the case!

This means plenty of space for an X2900XT or long cards, would also help less clutter/rubbish in the way to make it cleaner/better.

120mm front/back like Eclipse....

But £150 tad expensive but still not bad and better front..

Am thinking put 2-3 hdds in that caddy move it upwards, 120mm fan blowing cool air over the hdds, thus tons of space below for beefy cards and it would look so clean/clutter free

Then again perhaps being too choosy

Sounds like a good plan, which colour are you going with?

Yeap price put me off as well...

Sometimes I worry about these cases cos ive had a Akasa Eclipse 62 and the size was so lovely.. I dont think heat can build up the case is too big for that !
