Benchmark Scores I once clocked a Celeron-300A to 564MHz on an Abit BE6 and it scored over 9000.
There's simply no way to have a tempered glass front intake that actually works for airflow, because the entire premise of a solid glass wall covering the fans is stupid.

However, it looks like Genesis have managed to provide at least some half-decent airflow around all sides of the glass without ruining the looks. Clearly people are going to buy this for form over function but at least it's not as crippled as other glass-fronted designs have been in the past....
