Price is ok and looks good quality wise.

nobody?

Don't know anything about that case. It does look quite good but a bit expensive once you add in the heat pipe setup for your particular CPU.

You do need heatpipes from the looks of it. No way for hot air to get out easily.

It looks nice.

I would love one but can't afford it.

It works out about £200 by the time you have the PSU and the Heatpipes and mount.

That is a bit too expensive for a ITX case unless you can get away with a very low powered CPU.

The wesena ones (might have a new name now, streacom I think) look pretty much the same, priced around the same mark and get good reviews so I'd go with one of those instead

I haven;t come across any wesena ones that can accomodate heatpipe setups.
