It's not pretty. All of us waiting on it have been disappointed.

Read and see.

Well that is rather disappointing. Not that I could afford this but I would not buy one if I could. Thermaltake should have stepped it up for this one.

That's exactly what I've been thinking. Maybe a few of us should copy the concept a bit, but totally nail it in execution. Two or three of us doing it would be really interesting in my opinion. Maybe one out of acrylic, one out of wood. Etc.

The hard drive bays should be hot-swappable. Why should you have to open a case? Why not have custom hard drive enclosures that click/snap in? That would make sense. Also, the PSU should be on the bottom of the case. Lately I'm finding it less and less logical to have a PSU on the top of the case except for convention.

The case is a beauty, but after seeing the price tag and that first impression review I'm thinking there are far better ways to go about it.

Hell i could of told you that was a piece of crap like two years ago.

But that being said, My Vento 3600 chassis got overall pretty terrible online reviews, like the front mask breaking (i've had mine since 2004, still works fine) or the side panel being hard to get on (lean the bottom tab in first and it goes in easy) but it's probably my most favorite case i've had. so i guess a lot of it is personal preference.

I just think some people are out to hate on something, and throw personal opinions into a semi factual review...if you get what im saying.

If I had more time/money I'd be completely for this. At any rate your suggestions for improvements make a lot of sense.
