Excellent review DS. I especially like the included spacers on the base, which seems to be well thought out. One question, and I may have skimmed over it, how is cable management in this case?

That VGA turbo cooler has great potential in cooling video cards.

That is the one thing i really don't like about many cases, the IO cables are too short. How much would it kill them to make them a little longer these days?

douglatins · Apr 27, 2009, 03:45 AM

That case seems overpriced, my thoughts only

ZoneDymo · Apr 27, 2009, 06:45 AM

Well finally a gaming case which looks awesome.
Still not getting it though, to many stuff on it which I dont like.

I'm sorry but that thing looks plain crappy. Design overdose. And bulky. And the interior doesn't look appealing, too.

I enjoyed reading the review tho.

I think it will hardly remind you of Star Wars, but rather of Virtual-On, Gundam, Macross, Armored Core, R.Type,...etc

Darksaber · Apr 28, 2009, 08:33 AM

Little update guys:

1. In Win is actually shipping the X-Fighter with longer I/O cables now!
2. I quoted the price wrong. it is not 150, but 105 US Dollars!

I raised the score since that is a very good price for an elaborate chassis.

cheers
