I kind of like it. I would remove the anodizing and let it shine. It isn't hard to do..

I do prefer the prototype, that thing was schmexeh.

D30s are pretty nice too. Id hit em both.

My kid has been bugging me for my Torrent ha.. hmm.

My cases sit always on the left side of my desk. Unfortunately most aquariums look weird from the rear view. And a meshed top cover is inviting like a sink. And most presentations show hardly the top.

Well, if you like the contrast of the prototype, caseking and overclockers uk got an exclusive black and gold model. Honestly I heavily prefer it to the two colorways we got here, but I'm just really baffled as to why we didn't get the black and gray prototype we saw anywhere internationally. I guess it didn't really make an impact in the market research?

This is an interesting case, that much glass could give way to some really fun case mods. Also like the move to just one fan size. Would love to see some airflow tests to understand how this vertical cooling system really works.
