I was thinking that too make room for more rad space in the top. Also really Lian Li no paint?

Yeah, would be nice to have a nice plain black internal, makes it look cleaner

oh wow... i would say, puttin the psu in the back then mounting it on its side would be a better option then putting it in with the main components. it will still allow for stupid amounts of rad space and make it look cleaner... it would also make the case allot shorter making it more LAN friendly

i wouldn't consider a watercooling/server pc case a option for a lan, but then I've seen people take there cosmos 2.

and.........they had to just ruin it by putting the screws to secure the window on the OUTSIDE.  Complete facepalm on an otherwise nice looking case.

Lian Li and good looks don't exactly go together well

Looks really elegant and high quality, definitely much better than Corsair's try at double wide cases...

Agree corsair is coming at it with too much plastic in the design.

Yeah, I really hate the aesthetics, it definitely does not belong with the rest of the Obsidian cases. But the most thing I hate is the fact that you can't fit any radiators behind the board as you can with this (there aren't any holes for fans in fact, just a few ventilation holes in the back) , it defeats the purpose of double wide IMO.

If anything it should go with the graphite series. They want the storage and power supply stuff behind the motherboard and they probably didn't put rad. support since then it would become larger than what they wanted.

I love this design, its perfect, direct fan cooling to what matters, no cages in the way, and honestly shows off exactly what you want to see. Motherboard, GPU, CPU, maybe memory and that's really it!

Well, since CaseLabs design is so minimal, it's pretty hard not to look like them but CaseLabs seem to be the better double case even if you don't factor in the accessories they provide.

Not just that its the heavy watercooling style, cube look, large window.

In addition to Mystikalrush's comment, I like the way the 3X rad space is behind the drives leaving the motherboard alone and clean from too much rad BS, it separates the water cooling cooling from the regular air flow cooling which should be minimal but still desired for sanity sake.

 

Hopefully everyone has noticed how it is not as deep a case as the traditional towers, so even though its fat (wide, double wide) it is shorter in depth. The Corsair's version only looks bad because of the mess with the power supply (bad cable mgmt), also points out how having the power supply under the mobo will shorten cable runs and cable mess as well or so I would hope.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

hmm... not digging it tbh. I've seen prettier solutions so more space (although not that much more space :D)

This one looks like a rough pre-production model but I am liking these divided cases that manufacturers are coming out with. Personalty i would love to get my hands on one of these style cases, maybe not this one though...

Wow talk about quality. I bet it'll be around $200. Looks like a lot of aluminum.
