pretty sure @Mooshi wants this 

 

It's an matx case that actually has support for both water or air unlike the wide as balls options from Fractal or Corsair with their wide cubes that can't even handle a 165mm heatsink. The cable management and little extras like the fan hub are also appreciated. To top it off, you can hide an NZXT hue to the rear for lighting while keeping the front clean looking.

 

"Ew", I think it's lovely. o; People find the Define R4 to be beautiful, but when I had one in person, all I saw was cheap plastics and thin steel in the roof that flexed. This is prob bad photos as I've seen other pictures that looked nicer.

 

As for people complaining of price. pls. I've had less featured Lian Li's with ZERO cable management that were more expensive. Yet Lian Li gets a pass from fanboys.This is an alu case with thick enough panels, this isn't a cheap steel box from NZXT.

Why do people think this looks ugly? I'm willing to bet half of them have boring looking fractal cases.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

still we dont know what their profit margins are and how the prices of the materials they are using have changed, also as they are not manufacturing enough they have to get shit from suppliers asap which also increases the manufacturing price, these are a few variables but this is just the ugly duckling of the group

I'm surprised and not surprised by how expensive it is.  Considering their full tower Enthoo Pro is only $89-$99.  But, considering how popular their cases are and how they have really exploded onto the scene, they deserve to charge more for a superior product.  It is not the most beautiful looking chassis, but I am sure it is one of the most functional.  I really like the compartmentalized design.

Fugly.

No 5.25" bay. Fail. There's still plenty useful stuff to put there.

who cares...

I think it looks great, but I wouldn't buy it. I just don't like the placement of the IO.

Most of other cases out there for the same form factor are prettier.

If you talk price/quality, then it might be worth it.

What's wrong with people? It's wrapped in thick aluminum, panels are hinged and/or pinned (no thumbscrews), its power LED is color-changeable, it has a 3-pin to 4-pin fan hub, has a clean PSU shroud, is very water-cooling ready, but has tall CPU heatsink clearance... all for $130. That's a steal. Try and find any other case with those features at that price.

It does have a single 5.25" bay in the rear over the I/O. It was placed there to keep the front clean.
