Rodney Reynolds is going to like this case for one reason alone...IT HAS A REMOVABLE MOTHERBOARD TRAY! Honestly, we haven't seen that in months!

GODLIKE!

Im curious to know if its so customizable, if you can actually flip the motherboard tray to the oppositie side (reverse from stock, which would probably mean an upside-down mo-bo). Im looking to switch the position of my PC to my left side (to sit against my desk wall) where its much more easy for me to access drives and such

Good concise review.

No Filters?

@whutbrush Since you have such great air flow you can have all the fans running on low (800rpm), this means that you will barely be able to here it, even sitting right next to it. I don't know if you have ever looked at a molex fan plug but they can plug into each other like a chain, so you can plug about 3 fans into 1 molex connector, and the last time I checked most good power supply's have at least 8 molex plugs which will be more than enough. Its not the best case but it is better than most.

@wtchluring : But then you have to buy 11 fans that don't come with the case, and sit next to that thing when it fires up like a 737. There's no sound dampening for the fans, as the entire case is mesh, and the necessary hardware for all of that wind will add up. That's also going to require a lot of little wires running around your case, looking for places to plug in. Do you have that many 4-pin connectors with your power supply?

It's a great idea, but not practical when used as intended.

Have fun building that for 10hrs with good cable management. No thanks ill pass.

@MrPowertotheladys if you have all 15 fans on intake with dust filters it will get less dust in it than a normal case.

[MrPowertotheladys]

@wtchluring do you mean that you will have dust filter infront of your intake fans ? because if you don´t it will still get in dust through the intake fans! also some dust will be pushed out with positive air flow but much of the dust will be stuck in hardware for example the graphic card and your heat sink to your cpu cooler.. :P
