I was going to say it wasn't all too appealing to me as eye candy, however i've just seen the blue LED fans in the front, it's a winner folks!

on a more serious note, it does look like a good case for the mid-tower range, though don't know if OcUK would carry it as there are more popular cases out there?

i like the side panel due to no silly vents etc

Solid build, tired design. I like the space and the internal finish myself, but, as was pointed out above, it would likely struggle to compete in its price range here.

Looks interesting. Plenty of room on the roof for a radiator too if u don't mind a bit of Dremel action.

Shame the rear looks so cheap, the fan grill is punched ina bad way, and it looks like snap-off slot covers too.

not found any uk reviews so not available in the uk ? , it is not even on the raidmax site

I quite like that!

Has the imposing stance of something like a Dell XPS.

Liking the clean lines!

looks like i will be getting one when possible , but not from ocuk by the looks of things

I like how drive cages slot into the drive bays. THis is good as I only have one dvd rw and a lot more drives. Plus your not wasting space aswell

i just noticed the date on the youtube vid "28th june 2009" , not seen any forsale apart from new-eg g which does not ship to the uk

Reminds me a lot of the NZXT Khaos.

Looks great though

chaotic_uk · 14 Oct 2010 at 23:58

it does indeed but the NZXT Khaos is over $300 is it not (not sure on the £££ value)

Harvey616 · 15 Oct 2010 at 00:01

Yeah, sounds about right.

I think this looks great though.

Dremel is needed in any case as rear exhaust fan is heavily blocked by dirt cheap crap mesh.
Bottom hole for PSU is also rather restrictive and seems to lack dust filter and HDDs have hard screw mounting which is resonance risk especially with aluminium.

every case on the market has it's own problems , but i do like this case but am unable to find any uk stock . oh well
