Great to see such an involved rep on TPU!
I'm not really one for traditional ATX towers, but the SFF space can always use more competition! That said, I agree with some of the sentiment here that I'd much rather see a time-tested, well-developed product that is distinctly Be Quiet and plays to BQ's strengths, even if it's a little bigger in volume.
If you guys put out a reasonably compact mATX tower that is as well-made and practical as the 500DX, I probably will be building in it at some point in the future for friends or family as most of the stuff I built for them is mATX.
Great cases, but I'm
really not impressed with the fans. I love the SW3's vibration mounts (sturdy, unique and well thought-out), but that's about it; they seriously lack the ability to push adequate amounts of air, and sacrificing nearly all airflow for quietness is...well, not very balanced lol. I'm thinking of getting another pair of redux 120s or A12x25s for an experiment, to see just how much the SW3 135/120 are holding back my Dark Rock Pro 4 (in itself a very stout cooler, fans not so much).
Only other gripe I have is that the cooler department still doesn't know how to bend fan clips to incorporate a simple tab into them (lol), but I guess that's hardly got anything to do with cases.
