Mercury S8S Gets a Permanent Spot in CaseLabs' Lineup
Premium custom PC case maker CaseLabs announced that the limited-edition Mercury S8S is now a permanent addition to the company's lineup, with plans for a new production run. The case will start at US $389.99, with a boat-load of customization options. A successor and variant of the Mercury S8, the S8S is a cubical E-ATX / SSI-EEB case with a motherboard tray along the plane of the base, which acts as a partition for its three chambers.
Designed for liquid-cooling builds, the case features multiple locations where you can place 360 x 120 or 240 x 120 mm radiators, and a full-fledged liquid cooling loop for builds with 3-4 graphics cards and up to two CPU sockets. The case offers a great deal of flexibility, letting you convert space for liquid-cooling hardware into additional drive bays, to accommodate up to 18 3.5-inch hard drives, or up to 36 2.5-inch SSDs. Measuring 369 mm x 483 mm x 380 mm, the case dry-weighs 7.25 kg, and is made almost entirely of aluminium.

If i ever run out of room in my 540 air this will be the next case I buy
if you are cheap and want a "case" aka sheet metal with pop rivets then you buy a Thermaltake or a "X" cheapo case.
Corsair has both... they have really cheap/junk cases and then they have the Obsidian line that is imo a great case line.
beacause if cheap for u is the 170$ that AWARDED from overclockers X9
then u have a lot of money to spend.
And show me the temperature benchmarks that saw the huge differences from that caselabs 400$
Cause that what i need from a "good" case.. is proper air flow, funcionallity and performarnce/dollar
Anyways go check out In Win cases if you want your mind blown... quality quality cases that are $$$$$$ check out the S-Frame or the 904 like I have. functionality or performance/dollar is out the window...lol but I wouldn't trade my 904 for any ThermalTake + cash LOL
Get over the price, even more so if you have no experience with quality... $170 for any amount of ThermalTake is a complete joke btw
Cheap... price, materials, quality.... ThermalTake excels at being cheap in all those rolls
how about temperature performance...........
that caselabs case give me...........
I should post my build log for this new S8S-X99 rig, I’m just calling it Mr. Wellsburg or Welly after the X99 chipset, getting an Asus X99-E WS E-ATX board, that beautiful black and dark gray Bentley board, and a highly binned 5820K 6-core from SiliconLottery.com guaranteed stable at 4.7Ghz. Looking into an NVMe drive from either Intel or Samsung or Seagate/SandForce, the new SandForce 3rd gen controllers should be available by May/June and may supercede the performance of the Intel 750 NVMe PCIe ssd, but who knows, bleeding edge tech is always so unpredictable the first few months.
Also going to add some of the new Klevv Cras DDR4 memory to the build, 4x4GB is all I need to populate the board, may get the 3000Mhz but the 2666Mhz will run at the lower DDR4 1.2volts.
