Only a video to show so far but just from that you get the idea that this could be a seriously nice case.

I like the optimized bottom intake and the hidden cables/hdd cages

Nice. I can already tell that the front of the case is going to be a love it or hate it situation.

To me it looks like a themaltake level 10 with some class

If this is anywhere near as good as their air coolers it should be amazing :lol:. I like that you could easily run tubes the size of drainage pipes in the back xD, lots of water cooling options and airflow. Judging from the images though, it doesn't look bad but I have seen better looking cases, it would have looked soo amazing had they gone with brushed aluminium, and I don't understand why the drive bays are so massive and non removable.

this looks good i was thinking for this to be a success it has to be modular but with the watercooling options shown it can be a big hit

it totally depends on the front of the case....if its some shiny plastic that feels and sounds cheap or it looks classy like the inside....

Yeah it does now you mention it. I personally think it looks sweet but I don't think it will be for everyone. 

 

The sideways PSU is also neet to allow for a stupid amount of radiators by the looks of it.

Interesting at the very least, however why dont they have a PSU installed in their demo unit?

I think it is. It mounted sideways behind the plate if i'm not mistaken. Hence why they say it is covered away from the rest of the case.

Awesome case.  Its nice to see someone actually being original for once.  I can't wait to see how this compares to the 900D!

If it weren't a full tower, I'd buy one in a heartbeat. I'm more of a mid tower guy myself, but there's always hope they'll do a mid tower version if this case is a success. Judging by what I'm seeing, it certainly has the potential to be one of the most badass cases ever conceived. Very impressed and very excited.

Not impressed, but it's certainly not bad. Really bloody hate black brushed/ anodized aluminium though. More rubberized/ exposed aluminium cases!!

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

Look into the Corsair 530r, I think that's more or less what you want.

Is it just the finish you don't like?  I actually have always loved brushed and anodized aluminum myself, but for the price I really doubt that this case has more than an aluminum front plate.

Actually I just assumed alu, but it might be the flash playing tricks on my eyes. If it's plastic and steel then I'm not in the target audience anyway.

Well from what TPU wrote it sounds like it is, at least like the 900D, but I doubt it. That's too big of a case and too small of a price IMO.

Definitely looks like they used a lot of aluminum.  I didn't see much plastic at all.  This is definitely a case to watch, could be a 900D killer.

I really don't care for the looks of the 900d so it would be fine by me. ;)

Between this and the Carbide 540, looks like the "in" thing with these new cases coming out is to hide the PSU behind the motherboard side?  I like it!  I also like this one as it's skinnier than the 540

the carbide 540 is a double wide case where the hard drives and psu is behind the motherboard tray, while the phanteks is more like a 1and 1/2 wide case where the psu and say a pump resevoir is behind the motherboard tray while the hard drives are in the traditional spot.
