I think that looks ugly in my opinion.

Hell would be the opposite of holy.

Did you see what you can do to the inside?

[Geekazoid]

Holy Hell!

There's a contradiction right there!

[Geekazoid]

Hell would be the opposite of holy.

Precisely! LOL

[X1XNobleX1X]

Yes, but who cares out the inside when the outside is ugly?

[AllHopeLost]

yeah, a modder's dream.

Like I said "In my opinion".

I don't like it but others may. 

[Testcatt]

This case would be awesome for a couple.

Some people care more about aggressive looks and LEDs than they do about actual innovation in the case market.

 

Personally the case didn't live up to my expectations (I've been waiting ages for the release, or at least the HWC review you posted). It seems cramped, but that's to be expected when you're fitting dual systems into a single chassis. When installing only one it seems a bit empty. If you're only going to put 1 system in, you may as well get the Evolv or Luxe. Also, $180 + the cost of the mITX upgrade kit is a bit much. Considering it's just a few pieces of metal, the kit should be included -although I understand that it would add up to lots of kits while not many people would use them.

 

And like I've said before regarding Phanteks cases, if this case was released even by Corsair, we would all be blown away that Corsair had innovated and developed such a good chassis, and we would be saying that Phanteks has competition. They really are on a level of their own.

[MattTheMayor]

wait something i dont understand. "dual-system?" can anyone tell me what that means

[simtransporter]

Yes, but who cares out the inside when the outside is ugly?

Yeah sure, it's not the most striking exterior design I've seen, but it's far from ugly.  

It's quite plain, simple and minimalistic, but the thing with minimalistic designs is that while they are not particularly striking or mind blowing in any way, they are also never ugly.   At worst you could call them boring, or average, but never ugly. 

 

I personally think this case looks decent, but of course this topic is subjective so this is just my opinion.

[Maheshvara]

A very good idea, but it could use some polishing I'm no case designer (although i do plan on making my own, wooden, case one day ), but it could really use some re-thinking

 

Kudos to Phanteks for innovating on a stagnant market, like cases

[Damngineer]

Dual system? What does it mean?

[daemonowner]

Dual system? What does it mean?

 

2 computers in the same case

(If you watched the entired video you'd have seen when he installed 2 mbs)

[InTechsicated]

Definitely a case I want in my life. A dual system is truly the best way to utilize a multi-monitor setup without compromise. Best of all I can build an intel and AMD rig in the same machine. Probably going try and put my workstation in the mATX portion and a gaming rig on the ITX portion, and then use both simultaneously without slowing either task down.

[Matacks]

I wasn't happy to see standard- atx left out in the beginning of the vid but when you see that it's a dual system case that makes up for it.

I kinda like the idea of having a htpc and and gaming rig in one case. You could just power up the little computer for Web browsing and video without having to turn on the power hungry gpu and everything all the time. it wouldn't be bad to use less energy.

[PowerPigeon]

The dual system thing is pretty awesome. Not sure how much I like the outside design on the case, but that's a really neat idea!

[HerEscutcheon]

For those wondering about the dual-system: basically you can fit both a micro-ATX and a mini-ITX motherboard in this case at the same time. Given the size and price of the chassis, along with all the water cooling options available, I'd say Phanteks did a very nice job.
