I've never heard of this company before. Nice looking case though.

Supposed to be a great case, I think it was fretured in one of Maximum PC dream PC's last year.

Well, I bought one today. Unfortunately, it's the one with the PSU included which I don't need (now I have 2 extra laying around) but it was priced nearly the same as without the PSU so I picked it up.

Doesn't hurt having a extra PSU or 2 sitting around just in case................
Those are pretty slick looking cases......

Well, it would have been nice if they included a power cord with the PSU
The case is pretty nice. That plastic curved piece on the back has to go.

it's so symmetrical...
Hope you're room has proper Feng-shui with that case in it!

Another gripe - no case speaker! The reason is "most new motherboards include an onboard speaker so we don't include it as a standard". Kinda lame...I'm not sure I agree. They are offering to send me one though.

That is usually the first thing to be ripped out when I get a new case. I don't hook up any lights or the speaker.
I really hated the Abit NF7-S where the speaker would play through the on-board sound. Nothing like hearing the beep in 5.1 surround.....

Yeah, but the speaker is generally what tells you your rig is overheating or a fan stopped or something (if it's set in the BIOS).

Overheating??!! What is that? I have too many fans for that to happen.
The important fans in my system run directly off the PSU. I also keep them in top condition. I have two fans on my radiator, if one should fail the other would have no problem keeping the CPU cool....it's the pump that I worry about! Luckily modern mobos have shutdown temperatures for the CPU so it powers off before any damage occurs.
