DeepCool Launches GamerStorm TriStellar ITX Chassis
A week after its debut as part of CyberPowerPC's Trinity gaming desktop, DeepCool launched the GamerStorm TriStellar mini-ITX chassis, so PC enthusiasts can cram in whatever hardware they want. It may be designed for mini-ITX motherboards only, but this is not a lunchbox sized case you can tuck away behind your flatscreen. It measures 435 mm x 395 mm x 388 mm (WxDxH), and takes up the same volume inside a carton as a cubical ATX case of comparable dimensions would.
Its design involves three temperature-isolated chambers with a triangular projection, which converge at a central hub for cabling to route between them. The bottom-right chamber houses a standard-height mini-ITX motherboard tray with just enough clearance for a stock CPU cooler (up to 80 mm height), or an AIO liquid cooling block with a 120 mm radiator. The bottom-left chamber houses the standard ATX PSU bay, a slimline optical drive bay, and two 3.5-inch drive bays. The top chamber has three expansion slot covers, although there's just one PCI-Express gen 3.0 x16 riser. There's enough volume for a GeForce GTX TITAN-Z dual-GPU graphics card. This chamber offers another three 3.5-inch tray-type drive bays with hot-plugging back-planes and 2.5-inch support. DeepCool didn't disclose pricing.

And as I said before, add another "fin" and we can have a real Xbox
Its big too :eek:
Oh and forget custom water cooling ... Or you will see tubes floating from compartment to another...
it can house a 120mm AIO single or dual fan according to the website.
oh and worth noticing that's mentioned in the original post of the news .... i guess looking just at image is a feature that some of use share.
yet still happy it's not a exclusive case for a "professional" pc assembler.
almost tempted to do a rig with one, if it would, one day, be available where i live ... (not my AM1 SG05 to ... that would be a under exploitation of the case possibility with that hardware xD )
tho since i am a fully converted Water cooling user now (no other cooling is worth it! WCLoop master race ;) "joke") it's not really a case for my main rig, and the price also ... :D (expecting something with 3 number at last ... )
tho it would look great as a HTPC for the bedroom ... (well my SG05 is not exactly ugly ... but still that Tristellar is good looking )
Should around $150, or less, which i think would be a fair price.
the 4 points are probably rubber i guess, but the middle area is so small still, how strong can it be? what if you pick it up from the top with the weight of the mobo & psu hanging below?
