I don't like them as they make me spend money. :(

I have an order elsewhere that I have just cancelled, go OcUK! :D

You have not seen it in person. :p

It looks rubbish in the pictures, but oh my, I was in love in person. :p

The internals are where this case goes mental, complete re-think on cooling, and I really do hope it works as it may be the first in a long line of low CFM cases. :)

This is the first case to get my excited since the v1000 way back.

Before that it was the Savrow SR71, and before that I was still ATCs'ing it up. With Dragons before.

Main cases for me for the evolution of my main rig, lots of contenders come into my bedroom but very few last the night. ;)

Yeh I was the same in the pictures, until Cebit and then it just looks 'right'.

But its just the whole look when your within 20m of the thing, like the v1000+ and Akasa Eclipse it has a prescence.

I know that sounds sad, but you notice the PC with these cases, P180 is another one although to a lesser degree.

I will be the first one to slate this if it does not live up to my expectations as I have such high hopes for this case.

Do not be surprised if its for sale sometime next week though.
 
Expect a copy of my v1000 review if you were around.

More pics than are on the whole internet expected shortly after receiving the case.

More after putting a rig in.

More after cable tidying.

Hopefully it lives up to my expectations, if it can I will be one happy happy guy. :D

Incase anyone is reading it, this is like my Conroe and new Graphics card, but first for 2 years. ;)

take it you didnt see the review of it in CustomPC mate, didnt get the greatest of write ups, build quality as always is supposed to be great, but the cooling sysytem is supposed to be way to overcomplacated and not very effective. a long way off the P180.

I own a pc 7 by the way

They reviewed the Mirage as having an aluminium front.

Reviews mean nothing to me, I like to make my own opinion up on a case as you can't know its ins and outs in a afternoon.

Whats the betting the did not experiment with 20 fans to find the best pairing, or try reversing the ariflow.

I think it was CustomPC that reviewed the v1000+ and put the rear fan blowing the wrong way then complained about temperatures.

The case may indeed be a load of rubbish, but that 'review' has no credability by my books, many a thing reviewers rate I personally slate as for cheaper there is better for its intended market.

Take what I say or what the mag says when I do my write up, but it wont be finnished for at least a week of solid use; I dont mind if people say my write up on the case is a load of rubbish as ultimately I purchased the case for me to use, not a sample im looking at for a couple of hours. To me my own opinion is all that matters and I have been **** over by reviewers of cases well over 10 times in the last 12 months so I don't bother anymore, Stacker 830 rules!!! No it does'nt, a higher than not proportion have side panel issues, that is not a good case.

The S80 is a refined cooling solution, the same as a Windy case and the next step up from a v1000+ really, you wont get one cooling like a Eclipse ever, but the temperatures are not the point, the adequate cooling on 10cfm has gotten me drooling.

Sorry for the rant, not aimed at you but at some reviewers, I only trust reviews from people who own the case of their own choice, otherwise its a load of rubbish to me really, to many reviews have been off in the past. :)
 
Im like a five year old on Christmas eve, don't know how long its been since I have been this excited over hardware. :eek:

Really do hope it comes tommorrow, hopefully it will! :)

Just be prepared for me posting hundreds of pictures, as its inevitable. :p

v1000+ is case porn, as is the 110.

From a 2 minute look a few months ago (:() I thought it rivaled the CM110 for looks and I do not say that lightly at all.

Case porn may not be enough. ;)

Erm, case porn +1 maybe. :p

I really am genuinely excited about this case, because of that I won't post my final opinion on anything tommorrow, as it will be too early and I will like it regardless tommorrow. :(
 
Wait until I get the case.

The same goes for the PC7+, v1000+ etc, they all look much better not as a tiny flat colourless picture on the web.

PC767 however should stay on the net, forever! :(

Not many hours now I hope. :D
 
Will make a thread now. :D

I wont review it as at the moment its to good to put a system in.

If it can cool a system it has such potential to top the ATCs 110 in my books.

Anyhow, I better make this thread.
