Tagan is a company well known for their power supplies and in recent years have ventured into the case market. In a case market of limitless varieties see how the Tagan A+ Diablo Advance separates itself from the pack with high styling and an elaborate air cooling system that features good looks right out of the box.

I'm sure it's another top-notch TPU review and all, but I stopped after seeing a pic of it. Not a case for me :)

Thats alot of blue and I like blue. I like the case especially the top mounted fans. Another ding for not including dust filters after going all out on the PSU and what not. The HDD rails are like my Cooler Master HAF 932. Seems after the success of it we are seeing some folks taking some design ideas from them :D

Great review erocker. I think it needs more holes for Cable Management and I like the block for the front panel connections. What Id like to see is someone link all the front panels in one simple easy location and then play them to the motherboard. OF course, that would require mobo makers to make a single hook up work, kind of like the 24pin mobo power connector.

Nice review on a case that looks like a top performer, albeit a little "glitzy". I thought the sunbeam LED feet on my case was a little much :)

Wonder how much radiator can be fit in the top of the case. The modular cable connectors on the PSU are remarkably like the ones on my Hiper, love them... Hiper no longer uses them, so I assume a license has run out or something - Tagan lists them as patented.

Oh... left digg :toast:

From the pics, it looks like the front fan is quite restricted. Intaking grill is fine, but it looks like there's a 120mm fan grill behind it?
