What's a pcmasterace? Sounds like the savior of nerds. 

 

On a serious note, it... looks like a trash can. I hope I'm wrong. 

My case is smaller and fits a regular sized psu and standard sized towers...lol

It's called the portal, and it already has a product page with lots of images.

Looks like they've removed the product page... it's available on b&h and newegg though

All I want in life is a ITX case that can support 2 240 rads, compact, great build quality, minimalist looks and doesn't cost an arm and a leg like the CaseLabs Nova X2M does. Also tempered glass would be welcome.

It's covered its a top window. It has 120 mm intake and 80mm outtake and the gpu has vents on the side. Looks too constricted for open air but blower cards should be OK.

Oh my God, the look of the case is pure horror.

 

People laugh at the Apple trash can Mac Pro. This Bitfenix one is much worse.

To a certain point, I think trash can is better looking than a refrigerator. :)

Hmm thats not too bad, still not sure I like the placement. I'd prefer to have it in the normal location.

A joke on pc gamers that children didn't realise was taking the piss out of them. It also seems to be a way of spreading National Socialist imagery without having SJW jump you. I would say its the saviour of people nerdy for nazi symbols

Even though I think the PCMR thing is old and tired, you're completely wrong about everything you said.

 

Unless you're missing an /s then I'd understand :)

I was gaming before that term was popularized. Its original use was to describe the attitudes pc gamers have towards consoles and it was not a positive one. The whole pc vs console debate is childish, nonsense, and done by people with too much time on their hands. If human beings don't get enough conflict in their lives they create it out of nonsense, which sums up a lot of SJW. Everything I have said is true, I welcome you to prove me wrong.

They're not using it as an excuse to spread "National Socialist imagery", and neither is your statement "I would say its the saviour of people nerdy for nazi symbols" true. It's generally a circlejerk about the PC being the superior platform - the rest of it is them being open to consoles on a good day. That's it.

You mentioned one of the most cancerous communities and expect me to disagree in that context? ;)

If I was going to go for CaseLabs I'd get the Nova just because its the perfect dimentions (main criteria being its much smaller than my Evolv in every dimention) and can fit 2 240 rads, only problem is it's £300 in the UK.

 

So I'm either gonna suck it up and drop £300 on a case or wait for a similar spec case to come along which might never happen :(

Would be a lot more interested if; it could lay horizontal, the power button and USB was on same side as window, so GPU was on display all the time. Imagine how cool it would be if the front of a case was a window display of your GPU. 

 

To the 3D printer....... oh wait, I have a max bed size if 140mm. Maybe not then.
