Yummy!

Bit-Tech have the low-down over 'ere.

Looks generic, with a custom front.

InnocentCriminal · Dec 3, 2010, 01:20 PM

Generic... possibly. Simplistic and stylish (IMO) yes.

pantherx12 · Dec 3, 2010, 01:31 PM

What can I say, I like my cases to look like I couldn't make them myself lol

Each their own though, if it wasn't for different tastes "my pc atm" would be a pretty crappy thread.

Any more shots of the inside? That's the bit that will interest me most

I'd like to see your attempt at making this case, but I get your point. To you it looks cheap.

Rather obvious statement, but I get your point.

I would still say that my Fractal Design R3 Black Pearl PC Case is better than this new one, although I do see the improvements made for airflow on this new one, but I would not go for the airflow improvements over appearances of my current case as the improvements would only be little when you consider that both cases are around the same size and how they are designed structurally such as how the fans can be set up in each case.

i actually like it, for someone that wants a simple but sexy case and wants to get rid of this dam corsair 800d, TOO BIG!

pantherx12 · Dec 3, 2010, 05:29 PM

InnocentCriminal · Dec 3, 2010, 05:32 PM

I've never seen NUM used in images just NOM.

scoutingwraith · Dec 3, 2010, 05:37 PM

I love the simplistic design. The case has a nice finish. The only thing is that i will probably need more HD racks. XD

Same, apart from the HDD racks - I would want less. If they do an mATX version of this case I'd be really pleased.
