BitFenix Pandora ATX Case Detailed

BitFenix unveiled the Pandora ATX at Computex 2015. The case is a re-imagination of the original Pandora ITX case, launched last Computex, for the ATX form-factor. The Pandora ATX is scaled up in almost all ways to the original, and retains its styling. The case offers room for ATX and E-ATX motherboards, with eight expansion slot covers (so you can install a dual-slot graphics card on the bottom-most slot of your motherboard). There's room for CPU coolers as tall as 160 mm, graphics cards as long as 380 mm, and PSUs as long as 220 mm.

Storage spaces include two 3.5-inch, and three 2.5-inch internal drive bays. Cooling system is governed by a 4-channel PWM-based fan-controller, with a 2.8-inch TFT LCD display, giving you fan-speed and temperature readouts. Fan vents are aplenty, with two 140 mm (or three 120 mm) front intakes, two 140 mm (or three 120 mm) top exhausts; and a 120 mm rear exhaust. The front and top vents can each hold on to either a 3x 120 mm, or a 2x 140 mm radiator. Both these big vents have magnetic dust filters.

JosWhat will be the external dimensions of the case?
around 500x200x600mm
JosWill there be USB 3.1? C-type?
yes! :)
JosWhen comes the m-ATX Pandora with USB 3.1?
dont know about that, but we might just offer an upgrade PCB on our part store so people with a pandora mATX can upgrade their front IO :)

Prima.VeraI also think there should be more. I'm using 4HDD on racks so I can swap then for backup easily.
Where would you like to have them?
We can add a rail like on Prodigy M, but that would destroy the nice clean look...
We can add them behind the mainboard tray, but they wouldnt get any airflow and the case would be wider and look pretty bulky...

4 HDD locations should be doable, but not more, it would compromise the overall concept/idea of the case... sorry guys :/
But hey, if you got an idea where to put them, let me know and ill pass it on to the PM team! :)

And if we actually go for it, i promise ill send you one of the first cases as a thank you :D
hows that?

I think I've heard someone say it's going to be released at Gamescom in a video about Computex?

yup top side ways with a 92mm fan next to it plus a HDD cage for 3 drives.

Could even mod it so the psu take air from the outside, which no one has done yet with a top mounted psu ?.

its interesting since its an older older older case lad, but there is plenty space there for mod and also taking out everything inside leaving just motheboard tray and 1 cage could make better space and airflow...
