This case might tempt me to finally (after 11 good years) upgrade from my Lian-Li PC-A70S, been looking for a case that will allow me to continue using my BD-RW in a smaller form factor.

No joke, I actually kinda like the look of this case. It looks like a modern version of their old cases that I grew up with. Price is pretty good for a case with good looking airflow, a TG side panel, and five included fans with a hub.

Wonder how long it'll take for the front door to break off and disappear (like what happened to all of my old Antec cases).

Good to see some cases still catering to the few of us who still use optical media.
