Personally i like it...By the looks of it, it's gonna be similar size to the Arc Mini R2 and 350D....and i'm after a case thats not a mm bigger than the Arc Mini....Currently have the R1 version of the Arc Mini, and i have a big problem with watercooling and i'm not someone who wants a case thats taller than me sitting from ground level (exaggeration needed for my hatred of tall cases)....most smaller cases cant have thicker rads because they'll get in the way of taller ram for example....and this looks like it can fit thicker rads....sure it may not take the Monsta (60mm+) Rads, but it looks like it can take 30/45mm without a hitch. I forbid you to move the Mo-bo higher! keep everything in place as they are now....however give people options with everything....1 of the pictures looks like it have a grate on the bottom, for any gpus on the last pci slot, but if someone isnt using it or has a smaller mo-bo, have screw holes on that grate so someone could put a 120/140mm fan on the bottom......The HDD bays - make em, so if we dont want to use all of them, you can take em out...it'll mean we can use longer gpus. If its a wider case, have SSD mounts on the back of the mo-bo plate....Smaller mo-bo may mean bigger psu...Compromise!! If you want bigger/more of 1 thing, you have something smaller/less of another...

If they wanted to put a windowed side panel, at least place the acrylic on the inside area and not slapped outside.

Overall I love this case. However, clear side panel should be replaced with solid panel & filtered fan hole to maintain a sleek look. Like this:


I agree, this case looks like an absolute mess with that window.
