In Win once more aims to create a unique chassis with an even more extraordinary approach than the H-Frame, as the D-Frame uses welded aluminum pipes and a die-cast metal core for an unbelievably cool and unique chassis of which only 1000 will ever be sold.

Scaffolding case we meet again.
 
At last, something new and unique. Well thought out... it seems.
 
Props for trying something different.
 
I just wish it wasn't orange. Chrome or black would be nice.
 
Really like it, though the orange throws it away.
 
Should be pretty easy to recolor or modify. I would say this is very mod friendly case.

90 degree turn of mobo isnt that unique, my RV-01 has it too. And it actually works, you wont notice much difference during regular outside temperatures, but when you suffer from summer heat, difference will show. Not sure how its possible tho, but it simply works.

I am a big fan of 90 degree rotation too, but as it turns out it's not that beneficial. These guys: http://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Vertical-vs-Horizontal-Case-Cooling-89/ made, a let's say significant test, about horizontal vs vertical orientation and it seems that the space confined within a PC case is not big enough to grant the convection effect significant value. Explaining the good cooling of Silverstone cases with the three massive 180mm fans on the bottom and the lack of restriction between the source of cooling and the cooled object. I don't have any command of physics to argue with their work, but if you have time give it a read- it's quite interesting. Despite that, I still think all cases should be made with a 90-degree rotation- I just LOVE it that way :)

Yeah, I would've liked black/white.

What I don't get is why go through R&D to design a case, only to scrap it after 1000 units are sold? That's assuming they will actually sell 1000.
 
I rather like the H-Frame better...
 
a very cool case too bad their making so few.
 
I wonder what Silverstone will have to say about this case with their patent for 90 degree rotated motherboard
 
Abomination!!
 
Instead of transparent side panels it screams for carbon fiber panels with a Ducati Corse Baylistic sticker !!!! ;)
