*coughs loudly*

Air 540

 

In all seriousness I do really like the cube case concept and the more options I have the better

[Jvagle875]

This reminds me of something from their 'N' line. Either way, this looks nice.

Holly cow they look similar. You are right. The Glass runs around the edges, the mash is one big piece and the drive bays are on top of each other instead of next to each other, making it slimier. But other then that it's the same case

I do like cube cases but I really don't like the side window on this, hope its not the final design.

[Sharif]

the only thing i liked about it is that i want it!!! but hopefully its cheaper then the air 540

[Kamina]

Looks ugly.

I want the next installment of CM storm trooper already! >:[

Tahiti cards? Why showcase new products with old hardware?

I do like the design of it being slimmer and all but we will have to wait to see the internals to make a proper judgement,

I'm not the biggest fan of the window or the design in general but it obviously isn't final

[SirRoderick]

I dislike the lobsied nature of the design honestly. Not my cup of Earl Grey

[DudeWazap]

I don't like that side window on it. If it is a little smaller like the Air 540 then it will be a nice case.

[Zeal]

That glossy acrylic side panel is just going to be a dust magnet and will be filled with micro-scratches from routine cleaning of fingerprints.

[JaeDee884]

Oh god its terrible. Seriously. Matx hafXB guys all I want. Just make it wide enough for a 280x280 rad in the front. Natively or through moding.

[Wingingchase]

:mellow:  VERY INTERESTING

[brownninja97]

This doesnt look nice in my opinion, its way too jaggy, its like they got some materials and compressed them into a case, bad move.

[RatedBlam]

Looks to me a bit like the n-line of cases from them.

But cube cases sure seem to be the trend right now

[Andrew48]

That window looks awful 

[deathjester]

I would turn it on it's side and mod it by putting a old vinyl record on the clear part. Then it will look exactly like a 1970's record player. Maybe find a old Thorens logo. I really like the N series but this thing looks hideous. 

[sysloc]

But but but..... Plastic....

[nicholaswillems]

Sorry, but it looks like an Air 540 that fell out of the production line, got kicked around by horses and then someone came and smached a plastic-looking window onto it.

 

Sorry cooler master, I don't hate you, but bluegh.

[bob345]

i really hope that is not the production side panel. It looks horrible

[atomicmonkey101]

just no.

[mgsstar]

Like how the new cases has a full clear window to show off your rig. But it looks cheap with its plastic window bulging out. Can't wait to see some pricing for this.

[dc100]

tey are ugly as hell lol
