Wes and I were talking about these earlier today. What do you guys/gals think?

There are bunch of different options on these cases also. You almost need to get the caster kit that is available. I would also get a clear window on the the motherboard side and a taller top piece.

From reading a review they said the thing is built like a tank.

Just wanted to get your thoughts.

So looking at it from the front I assume along with the power supply all the HDDs/SSDs are located on the right side, behind the motherboard tray. It certainly looks sizable, you gots enough stuff to fill it up?


-Just checked it out and watched a video review. $400+ can't see why that would be a bad idea for you Wing. Buy and enjoy :)

Hasbeen - Yea, the mobo,gpu's, and optical drives are on the left and the PSU, HDD's are on the right.

JJ - Nope, no water cooling and still rocking the Rampage III Extreme motherboard. I do like water cooling but I just don't see the return on investment that you have to put into it. For me personally, I just can't justify the price for water blocks for the mobo, GPU's and CPU. I really do like it but it's just not for me.

That case is pretty damn sweet but the more and more I think about it, it just seems too $$$. Then again, if I could sell my Corsair 800D I would be more inclined to go for it.

Anyone need a new full tower full ATX case? lol.

Well the case has been built and it's now on it's way. I will probably find it on my doorstep on Friday.

Case is going to be here on Friday. Just got the email from Caselabs. Now I am looking at new case fans, can't steal them from the 800D and a 12channel fan controller.

I recently purchases a few new fans and decided to try a different brand

I bought a pwm for my Hyper 212 along with a few 120mm and 140mm for the case itself. They seem to being doing well so far.

Nice, the only problem is the color. I just want straight black on everything. I don't have any orange in the build. They do match the LanOC colors pretty close though, lol.

Fans and Fan Controller are ordered. They should be here on Friday. Free shipping FTW.

I thought about getting better CFM fans but they didn't have free shipping and more fans spinning at a lower RPM are better than less fans spinning at a higher RPM.

Should be a sight to see this weekend when I start building.

Not sure how long it's going to take but I will have pictures rolling in every couple of minutes.
