I actually like that case..I trhink it has potential as part of a pretty cool mod--I'm sure someone is working on it already

Poor cooling from what I've heard...

However, I think it would look extremely cool if somebody could wet mold a carbon fiber copy of that case...

Got a link crimson?

It looks like they are trying to be at the beginning of moving PCs away from the box. Whether or not you like Apples, you won't ever mistake one for something else. They definitely set a precedent for function with style and it looks like Asus is trying to move that way also. That particular case doesn't thrill me but I like the effort.

It has a good mod potential, my next gaming system will quite likely end up in a "slightly" modded version of this case. ;)

It definitly has some nice features, but like all cases it has some unappealing features aswell. However that is simply my personal oppinion. Looks aside it does seam to be a well built and thoughtout case.

As always, to get a perfect case for your needs you need to design and make it yourself.

Poor cooling? I dont know about that. It was made for cooling. Where did you hear that at Seven?

Apparently it is a Love/Hate case. As for me, I love it. But I love it so much that I wouldn't want to mod it, so that goes against the whole point of buying a case. I really can't see much modding potential for this case but if I just felt like a change without having to mod the case then Iwould go with this one. But not at that price!

As ugly as the exterior looks, that can be modded.
I personally don't like the door but the vents could be modded for something usefull. If they are actually functional vents then its a sure bet that the airflow will be restricted at the inside end.

Yeah, look at the specs for it,
80mm fan in front, 120mm in back
Side vent (on the door)

BUT they never mention the vents

what do you want to bet that the "vents" go nowhere and are just plastic to make it look "cool"

No it's true, that case is horrid on cooling. The front intake fan doesn't blow anywhere towards the back of the case, instead it blows from the left to the right hitting only the hard drives and nothing else. A single 80mm for the front is pretty weak anyways. To mod something bigger in the font and facing the proper direction would pretty much compromise the front ports. Every review I've seen thus far of it has commented on breaking the front door within minutes. Steel frame with plastic snap on parts isn't worth the cost when you could get something aluminum for the same price. It is sexy though.

edit: In responce to Grendel, the front fan they speak of is in the left vent directly facing the right vent.

Hey guys, I'm new here, and I was wondering if anyone could answer my question about this case. Please put aside any prejudice or opinions (good or bad) about this case cuz I'm getting it because I like it. If you don't, that's cool, but please don't flame me for it.
Anyways, it has one AGP 8x slot and 6 pci slots. I'm getting a non-AGP motherboard and video card because pci express is faster. So will my motherboard and video card fit correctly in this case? can I just use a regular pci slot for my pci express video card and leave the agp slot alone?
thanks

i think it would make a very interesting military/spy mod. however asi t is now, i dont like it that much. it does have some good features though, so if they were to be integrated into the mod it would be cool.
