As always, would look good without the window. I like the front.

A "gaming PC case" ? Really? What game do you play with your PC case, toss the PC case or drop the PC case or burn the PC case, or what game exactly?

Can someone enlighten me what exactly a gaming chassis is? Or is just a way to get people to buy them by attaching the word gaming to it?

Oh look, it's another CM 690II XD
Would've been nice if it had 8 expansion slots, otherwise, looks okay. I don't know of any 'gaming' mid case that doesn't have provision for fans on the side. It's been quite a long time since Tt made a case with decent set of features. Personally rocking an Antec 300 with the side and top fan spots blocked off, and the front and rear populated with 900RPM Noctua P12, good enough to cool overclocked X6 and GTX480 SLI. |

The original had a 120mm and a 90mm + a 3 bay drive area too. Then just be a bit different than anyone else do what they did with the original and mount the PSU sideways and actually make it so it can get air out from the side. Thermaltake Armor Series VA8000BWS Black Aluminum ... |

I like their chassis especially the old ARMOR cases. Really like these new ones and love the Soprano that they redid and came out with.

Not the best looking case IMO, but not the worst by any stretch either.

Sometimes I can't stand press releases. What is an "e-sports appearance"? Electronic sports? Isn't that.. just.. laziness? And ignoring the grammatical errors, how is "best inner view for built system see through" a feature to boast about? It's a piece of acrylic attached to a metal door, not a piece of advanced Romulan technology.
The Computer Case market is a crowded one. I don't really see anything in this case that hasn't been done a number of times before. I liked Thermaltake back in the Athlon XP days. I still have my Volcano 7+ and I'm even still using my Xaser II. The stuff they're doing these days though..
