woah

steam punk? the design sure why not. but the colors say nothing steam-punkish at all about it. maybe a little modding and we may have something interesting

Internal setup seems fairly standard, which is a good thing, but the outside just doesn't do it for me. Not much at all. Mostly the fans sticking out at funny angles. They look 80mm and non-standard, which likely means hard/expensive to replace.

 

[TRWOV]

Does "enthusiast" means "shaped like a transformer"? (a literal one, not the cool robot ones)

 

[ensabrenoir]

could have some fun with this.......

 

[natr0n]

I dig it.

 

[patrico]

yeah i like it, something different eh

 

[Vario]

looks like a ricer civic bodykit

 

[wotevajjjj]

By far the ugliest, cheapest looking case of the year

 

[silkstone]

I kinda like it. Maybe a bit too much plastic. would be nicer in all steel.

I'm sure it could be modded pretty nicely though.

 

[GhostRyder]

I don't know why but just looking at this case is like eye candy to me. I mean my god its a very cool design to me, I would love to get my hands on one and attempt a beastly machine inside!!! It looks like it could hold so much potential in such a cool design!

One thing im curious of, the top says support for up to a 240mm radiator, but im curious if thats per side or what because im trying to figure that out. If it supports 2 240mm radiators at the top I maybe sold on this bad boy.

Its the 3rd case that use the exact same internal layout as the Aerocool Dead Silence and Xigmatek Aquila

Shame they've decided to launch it with the 'gloss' finish, they had two models on display at computex, one of which had a rubberised 'matt' finish and had yet to decide which one to release.

..I think they've made the wrong choice

 

[Cruise51]

Yea i think the gloss finish is a mistake. The matte ones at computex looked better.

Overall I really like it.

 

[Ronnyv1]

At that price im better off with the air 240 -.-

 

[DZZRtt]

Ugly

the first picture shows a black case with a matte finish

so there is still hope

 

[dom99]

Yeh I like it, looks great and is interesting, we need more cases whcih break the standard mould, thumbs up

 

[RejZoR]

The white one is cool. Storm Trooper case

 

[Ruru]

By far the ugliest, cheapest looking case of the year

I was also going to comment that this is the ugliest case I've seen in a while.

 

[Disparia]

The outside... I don't know if I like it or not, lol.

But I do know that I don't like how the inside is laid out. At least from the photos displayed here.

 

[ViperXTR]

opposite for me, ive been liking these horizontal board layout since bitfenix prodigy

I feel the same way. I really like how the inside looks but the outside (mainly the top) turned me off pretty fast.

Oh, I don't mind that part. Just think it could better utilize the space. Could be smaller while still offering everything it does now, or offer more at it's current size.
