I took a further look and dont think the design is flawed.

I was talking aesthetically myself.

... if you added another fan on the right side that would improve cooling.

Most probably, but I couldn't bring myself to want one, it looks ugly and as an all in one unit, it just comes across impractical and badly designed.

I do wonder wht the mobo is mounted like that (GPUs on top instead of GPUs on the bottom.

Inquiring minds want to know. ;)

Mkmods said:
I would definitely like to see one in person

I would as well.

MKmods said:
There is room for long GPUs, Bulge allows air intake or taller coolers, there is a big space behind my monitor this case would fill just fine.

Even though I'm mainly put off the aesthetics, I can't help but think the design and function of the L just doesn't do itself any favours. I could be completely wrong and will have to wait for a website (;) ;) TPU) to do an in-depth review so I could get a better insight to it.

How can so many be wrong? "Its not so much right or wrong" its just someones opinion.

My last statement was actually a bit of a joke, because a lot of people can be very wrong.

I honestly was excited at the idea of this case, I just think it's horribly ugly and I'm not a fan of the "L" shape. I see usefulness for this in some markets, but not a whole lot.

Oh, and I think they should have internalized more of the wires. Or at least have a cover over the i/o and expansion slots where you can route cables through to a central hub or something.
