Following on from http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18019371 where I was really interested in the case and build, I ended up getting one for my new PC. My 2nd choice would have been the Lancool K7 had OcUK had it in stock. Case picked up for £86 delivered.
Components:
Case pics:
Now, because I haven't really dabbled in self builds or other cases before, I haven't got grounds for comparison but:
There were loads of spare screws, etc.
Case is light, stunning but is a pita when it comes to fingerprints and dust (as you can obviously see).
Cable management quite hard at the back but it looks neat enough from the front.
Had some problem making the mobo back plate fit in the hole; it still isn't fully set in.
I hadn't thought about colour coordination when I got all the parts so whilst I initially thought I'd have a blue theme, I'll have to revisit the idea and get red/orange fans/lights.
The side window is pleasingly chunky and with a sloping edge.

All bought items will cost £910
