Ummm... Sexiest? Have you seen the very recently refreshed Phanteks Eclipse P400S?

The eclipse it's outstanding for it's price, probably the best actually. But no: that front panel looks cheap and crappy compared to this raijintek one.

Looks extremely generic. Also why are cases still so gigantic? Looks 10 years old on the inside. Smaller cases please.

Notio I know that you know about their other cases. Like the Styx, most likely one of the smallest mATX cases on the marked.

You also know that some people need more space in their cases. It looks like they took the Styx and scaled up

TBH They are most likely some of the most clean looking cases on the marked

I know it's looking good, I was just looking at the classic model.  I wonder if it will fit 2x360mm simultaneously. That white-ish finish is in my sights now, gotta compare it's size to R5 and hope the price tag doesn't go much higher than $150.

it looks like you can, if you look at the picture with the AIO in the top and two fans in the front, then you can see that nr. 3 fan in the front is meant to be at the bottom, so I see no problem with it having 2x 360mm. Thickness of the front rad is what makes me wonder a bit, it looks like you only can do a slim/slim'ish 360 with fans on one side. 

Hmm for the price I would guess around the 150$ mark.

Looks like 152 GBP for classic and 159 GBP for Plus, so ~$185 and ~$200 in USD if I'm not mistaken.

 

Still not sure why the "Plus" is better/more expensive.  It's slightly larger and has acrylic where the classic has tempered glass.

I would not buy the Plus, it looks cheap IMO.

I don't know why anyone would, the only difference I see is something that should make it less costly than the classic(hinged acrylic side panels).

I personally prefer Coolermaster's Maker 5 or similar looking cases.

I guess that it would have a tiny bit better airflow.

Look alot like Inwin.

Given the amount of Glass InWin uses, one could argue ALL "temp glass" cases looks like InWin.

Bear in mind, i love the looks of InWin cases, not the functionality.

 

If the InWin 909 wasnt such a pile of shit, i would totally buy it
