Windy cases

Looks like a cheap Lian-li with anodising to me.

Imagine the pain when you slip and put a scratch on that red. *Crying inside* Comes to mind!

doubt its cooler than my lian-li with push pull intake fans

i'd imagine with all the airflow getting routed all around the side panels etc it really effects the air flow in a bad way and probably fills with dust

Bump slightly as i've found a site that will ship Windy cases to the UK.

The drawback? $250 shipping costs. :eek:

Maybe this is the reason OcUK don't stock them?

Their mITX mini tower cases - amazing.

Bump SLIGHTLY?! I just looked at the date of the first 'export' post...lol. I guess they decided not to export them over here in the end?

I don't see how drawing air in from the sides will cool it, surely the side panel is at room temperature which will be the same temperature as the air drawn in.

I don't see why they are so expensive. They don't look particularly special, some even look tacky. Cooling is poor to average at best.

There was some hoo-hah about getting certification for them to be sold in Europe, which i'm not sure Windy ever got.

And that's a small bump compared to some!

If I'm honest, they look a bit 'meh' from the outside. The design is pretty average apart from the inside which you won't be able to see because of their cooling system that requires a gap in the side panel which also takes modding out of the question. Also, wouldn't a couple of SLI GPUs end up heating the inner side panel which would heat the air in the cavity?
