Protiusvery nice, case looks nice and clean
Yeah i wanted it to look minimal - clean and tidy as possible, while fast and quiet (well, as quiet as a GTX can get)

Nothing snazzy, but extremely clean and tidy!


Perhaps you could cut a window into the side of the case and fit some LED fans/neon lights to make it look more 'shiny' .


8/10.

yes, yes they bloody did. Theres a new revision out which uses straps, instead of a cord. The Antec solo uses the same ones, i sold one of those to a friend and stole two of his straps :)
