Am I the only one excited about this case?! Some extreme cooling possibilities and 140mm friendly. I just hope they sell panels because I don't really want the window. Rather have more fans or rads!

Personally, I think it looks horrifying.

The ODDs ruin the aesthetic 

 

I also don't really like the whole mesh look -- it's good on a budget case, but I don't think it's appropriate on a high end one.

I think it looks pretty cool, except those drive bays. They seem way out of place.

Yeah, somewhat similar to my design but the ODD on mine was done much better, no mesh either.

I have to admit that the aesthetics are not the best but I care more about cooling performance and lowered temps when overclocking. On this case you can do a crazy amount of rads and fans...and most importantly to me...it is 140mm friendly. I have been waiting forever for a case where I can mount my CM Nepton 280L anywhere other than the top (since heat rises). Beyond that, I can create a ridiculous amount of positive air pressure using Noctua 140mm's and exhaust heat out the top as every case SHOULD be doing!
