I thought you was set on this case KD?

I was xD I've even ordered one of the stealth covers...

But I want to do a lot of cutting into the side panels, and I'm not sure how hard it will be to colour match paint with the softouch front and top. Biggest thing putting me off at the moment, which is a bit of a pain.. More of a pain that I'd had the entire build planned out in my head, but now might have to go back to basics. I'll wait until the stealth drive arrives though to decide how hard it would be to colour match it.

Edit: think I've found a way around it, so this may now be the case for me :)

Cracking price at £119.99, very severely tempted by this case. But need to see a few reviews first.

sweet. ive read in another forum that they got a windowed side-panel now hope the price is good as well

seen this review http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Bitfenix/Shinobi_XL/ as well
Seen that review just now. Looks pretty good, though cooling via the front intake would be a slight concern for me. Though i suppose a few 120mm fans in place of the 230mm could help with that. Something like silverstone air penetrators.

Yea cases with front like this worries me. Where are they sucking the air from?
If there are holes it must be tiny to preserve the looks
 
No holes on the front panel of the xl, just the thin mesh strips. As im currently running pretty hot gpu's in sli, airflow is very important. Something that is pretty good in my current Lian Li A70F. Due to it's mesh grills at the bottom.

Ill be sticking to air cooling for the time being. Alpenfohn k2 cooler. Gotta say, the space in the xl is very good. And could be made a lot tidier than in the pic above, with the use of some bitfenix alchemy cables.

My current layout below.

By removing a few of the hdd trays, this could help with airflow on the xl.
