I think the "censored" pictures will be revealed one at a time over the next few days as the countdown goes :)

Ya I think that is how it will be revealed. Looking forward to this because I really liked the looks of the H2

Is it just me, or does that bottom center pic look like a window?

Sweet I hope it's one of their crafted series. They look badass.

Windows on silence-optimised cases defeat the purpouse. It is more likely a shot of the inside corner of the side panel, with the black layer on top being sound deadening material. Besides, there are so many cases with windows on the market, if you need a window that bad you can get one of those...

 

For people who actually don't like windows it's kind of annoying that every time a case comes out without one, there's a sea of people crying for a window. And eventually, no matter how dumb the window is in a particular case, it will come out as an option. Can't remember which, but there was a different silent case that received a window option because of demand, and I just facepalmed.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

Some people don't even care about the noise dampening and like the closed-off look.  So a window doesn't "defeat the purpose" for them.

 

They are still paying extra for sound deadening material that is being nullified by a window. Which is not very clever economics.

Although Fractal Design did an alright job on the R4 / Arc (R2 also) panel, with quite thick acrylic that didin't leak as much as other panels.

I get what you're saying; that putting a window on a silent case usually defeats the purpose, but the windowed Define R4 is a good example of how you can get both a view of all your components and silence. I'm just hoping NZXT is going to give us something that competes with that.

It's not the first thing people have paid extra for, for looks even if functionality is not improved...

Or it could just be some black strip in the design, similar to their PSUs.

Also, another picture has been revealed:

nothing interesting, really, although it does show they're going for their characteristic angular design language.

 

I like what they've done trying to gain attention, good job, NZXT marketing :D.

Well see how it turns out. In terms of silent pcs fractal seems to have that market pretty much bagged. Hopefully NZXT can put out a nice product.

Had a quick look at work. Looks very cool. Id definatley love something like this for a NAS/HTPC box I can just chuck on a shelf somewhere or in a TV cabinet. Looks so pretty. ^___^

Edit:

I just had a brilliant idea, Id buy like 3 of them, line them up and network them all together to be an uber NAS/HTPC!!!
