Aereto If you are a part timer, chances are your paycheck is not going towards bills.... Also, how many hours a week are you working? At $7.25, which is the lowest that you can be paid in the US, an hour that's roughly 40 hours after taxes for $200. So, you only work 10 hours a week?
For this price you can get a full tower, not a mid tower. That's why It's better to just get the S340/Elite. Bad move from NZXT to try to take advantage of S340 sales by cloning the design, adding a few features, and upping the price by 90-100%
Actually I was looking at this case for a while and I'm planning to build my next PC inside it. Thanks for the high quality video and the pro review of it, you've answered most of my concerns and questions about the case itself. Still gonna go with this one!! :)
This feels more like an overview than a review. i was hoping for a build and some testing of the "smart" features. Seems like most others are please with this level of detail I may be off base here.
I'm actually impress by this case. It's elegant, simple and minimal branding and logos. I also like that the vents on the top are on the sides so the actual top can be used for extra space to put notebooks or whatnot.
Haha. I'm looking forward to their review. I imagine with the ventilation holes will work pretty well. I'll assume it'll be better than the s340. Glad they ventilated the top of the PSU shround as well.
I don't think they will bash it as much as it doesn't have "High Air Flow" in the name and the design speaks by itself. Also it seems rather well made.
All it really looks like they did is try to solve some of the problems the s340 elite has; cooling, rad clearance, hdd cable routing, then slap $200 price tag on it. I like it, I think it looks nice, but the s340 is pretty easy to work around and I dont see enough to justify the price jump. Plus CAM is trash.
looking forward to seeing a full system build in this case. I have the H440 and I've been considering a switch for a little while, and this looks like what I've been looking for. Don't keep us waiting too long to see how the system build goes!
ShockArrow222 the price will drop really fast. It always does, people really need to stop commenting on it, that's also why Dimitri doesn't say a thing about it in the whole video
Where business is concerned, it's always easier to drop price than it is to increase it (less public backlash) So companies tend to have a release price on the high end, if it doesn't sell at that price they will drop it and people will think positively of them for reducing prices. If you launch a product on the lower end of the scale however, and the product sells like hot cakes, increasing the price will just piss people off. This way companies can make maximum profit with maximum PR.
Okay so it seems a little expensive but it may actually turn out to be a good buy for those who have been interested in buying the S340 Elite with additional NZXT products 🤔 NZXT S340 Elite = £90 Replace Fans with higher quality ones X4 = £60 Grid + V2 Controller = £30 NZXT Hue LED Extension Kit = £20 Total = £200 Same price, new case, all of the above features in one purchase, better air flow, more water-cooling options, better cable management etc I'll be buying the NZXT H700i 👏👏👏
What a cool case. Nice looking too. Would love to see one with the same design but another 30% larger to accommodate a larger build (i.e. dual res, more hard drives, etc.). Thanks for the helpful review!
Gotta say I'm surprised! NZXT always had that "mid-range" feel to them but this looks pretty high end. Interested to see how well the CAM functionality comes into play!
not many mobo have a type c header on them. you need to spend $400+ for a motherboard with that header and moreover i don't find much use of that port. i haven't used the one at back of my motherboard
One example is a high speed flash drive. There are several $200 dollar mobos and the point is that you don’t want your high-end case to be overtaken by budget cases in 6-12 months. I had my last case for 6 years.. so even if there weren’t any use TODAY, it would still be unacceptable.
After two months of checking reviews and looking for the perfect case, I discovered this case and ordered it on the day it came out. I was deeply disappointed. No sound dampening whatsoever. Not even rubber mounts for 3.5 drives. Fan software was flaky and any fan adjustment over 0% would rev them to 100%. Upon removing the internal USB3 cable, the non-retractable hooks nearly tore out the USB3 socket on my motherboard. Only with an extra set of hands and two flat screwdrivers were I able to remove it safely. Back to Antec P182 till I find a worthy replacement.
what they have done looks good on itself, but if you see the price tag you start asking yourself what does this case have to justify double the price of S340 Elite
NZXT by far makes the best cases, so much attention to detail. I just hope they dont go the route of gimmicky "Smart Case" stuff. After all we're PC people, that kinda gimmick doesnt wow us, in fact it could be a turnoff.
RAIN Too much attention to detail yes, too much that this case makes the tubing job significantly harder just because of their "trademark" white cable management thing
I wished they gave some thought on the CAM software too. The latest version of CAM keeps crashing and making my fans spin more than usual. If this case totally hinges on CAM, I can only hope the buyer has enough hair to pull out.
I couldn't disagree more, having just owned this case for a day. It was loud and gimmicky. My old Antec P182 had optical bays, and three-layered side panels for optimal sound dampening. Both serve an actual purpose. This case has LED strips, tempered glass, PSU shroud with special mounts to display your SSD and finally an advanced fan controller which seems pointless in a case that isn't designed for silence, to begin with.
I can tell you one thing, this case is TERRIBLE to build a system in. I just got this case today, I preordered it a week ago and I will send it back. It is impossible to mount a corsair H115i on top, because the white bracket makes it impossible to not totally squish your tubing. It's a terrible soloution. I'm currently using a Corsair Air 540 and it's MILES better for fitting radiators. I don't know what went through the head of designers when placing the bracket into that awkward position. Build quality and looks are really nice, but this issue is a big no go. Maybe a 240mm would fit.
360mm might work, but keep in mind, that you have to bend the tubing through that narrow gap between the bracket, so I would still consider this only as a secondary option. I ordered the case because it ticked all my boxes. Even 240/280/360mm on top. When I tried to install the 280mm with the fans, I almost smashed everything in anger ^^. I slit my hands open just to fit it in. Nope...won't fit. With 280mm radiators the tubing goes straight into the white metal bracket. If they widened this bracket for another 15-20cm there wouldn't be a problem at all, except I still wouldn't be able to fit the radiator in, because I have a Maximus VIII Formula which has a massive heatsink from EK. Therefore the fans can't get pass the heatsink...so still no option =/. Atm there is almost no Mid-Tower with tempered glass where you could fit a 280mm on top... I don't know why. Mabye I will buy the Corsair Air 740 now. The 540 is WAY better in terms of cooling and usability then the h700i.
This case does look awesome but if you bought the S340 then you shouldn’t have planning on needing all the rad support. And other than that it’s pretty much an s340 just with more support for radiators.
it´s good that you didn´t bought it since the h700i is overpriced for me. I had the source s340 (acrylic) and switched over to an enthoo evolv. But s340 is good for its price tho
I swear to god if HardwareCanucks gives this case a "dam good value award" then I will seriously suspect that HardwareCanucks can no longer give an objective review and is highly influenced by their sponsors. This is far from a dam good value its a Rip Off!
I think NZXT would sell more of these units if they removed the 'smart' functionality and just sold it for a little cheaper (~$120 - $150) as a normal case. The case looks pretty good, but it is very expensive, and anyone who would deliberately put CAM on their PC is either an NZXT employee, not right in the head, or doesn't know what it is doing in the background. It's a hard pass from me.
Here's my experience with CAM: It is very buggy and slow, the actual features that people would need to use CAM for only work around half the time, and when they don't you have to completely restart the system. I only had CAM for a short while to control the LEDs on the Cryorig H7QL before I decided that it was not worth the hassle and returned the product. Additionally, the CAM software has been revealed to send personal data to NZXT for undisclosed purposes. NZXT acknowledges that it does so, but has yet to release an update that allows it to be turned off. CAM should be a control software for people who need system info or control for their LEDs, but instead it is a massive hinderance and privacy risk that NZXT does nothing to fix.
The possibility of moving the HDD cage so far back in the bottom of the case makes it possible to mount a pump down there. Really wanna build my next atx water cooling in this!
I think this is the first time I'm actually excited to see a case. Huh, that's a weird feeling, I'm excited about a metal box! My follow up question regarding this is, WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!
Im guessing you can position the drive cage far left or right is so you can add a second drive cage? Which could be enticing for people with a lot of drives.
I would like to see a case, where you open the side of the case, where the mainboard is located (Right side of the case) and your Mainbord will be unfolded then with the sidepanel together. Easy access mount and quick assembly. And between the sidepanel and the mainboard would be the cablemanagment, what unfolds too. No longer cables needed for this scenario, cause by unfolding the cable have the same distance to the mainboard as before. For better access on the cables, you can disassembly the plate, which holdt the mainboard
This case is looking lovely! I especially like the indentation for the glass panel, the back panel's quick mounting mechanism, and the near lego like mounting system they have with the SSD tray. The removable fan mounting bracket up top is also very helpful, as anyone who has tried to put a radiator there would affirm. That white shroud, while nice and pretty, does not have enough functionality to justify its odd shape for me. That being said, the case retains its classy NZXT look, which will still be a major selling point for lots of buyers. Another thing that goes somewhat unnoticed but I consider pretty impressive, is the fact that they managed to retain rigidity of the case despite the heavy use of meshed metal sheets and removable components. This, compounded with the amount of design features they managed to squeeze in, just makes the case truly "a new standard" (Science Studio).
I am quite eager to see the review of the ITX version. Many builders, myself included, now realized that they probably only need one PCIE16x lane for graphics card and that's it. If the ITX version retains most of the features of the ATX version and is not much more difficult to build in, meanwhile being offered at a lower price (which I would expect), I think its sales may have the potential to match or even exceed that of the ATX and/or MATX version. Looking forward to the review!
So jelly! I need this case. Love my S340 elite I can only expect this one to be much better based on what I see. The magnet puck should have been included I agree. Love the clean look and functionality of this case.
Looking forward to the full review! I wish companies would start filtering the top as well but I know most people use it as exhaust. Might be a case i look into. I'm hopeful. No case has had everything I wanted yet.
I'm sorry, but I'm a 100% NZXT fanboy. When I initially saw the H440 I just couldn't resist. After almost 4 years it's still a dope ass case... But now they've outdone themselves, again. They continue to be one of the most innovative, mold-breaking companies out there.
Maybe you can move the HDD caddy closer to the PSU is because is enough clearance to mount another caddy so you can have a lot of storage, beautiful case btw
Just a small criticism on this case. I have the s340 and only have one complaint, the metal cable management divider thing extends into the case on the top of that one preventing doing push/pull on a front mounted radiator on the top as it is, they actually made that worse making it pretrude even more into the case, my hopes were opposite on an update an dhoped they made it flush all the way up so you could actually do push/pull on the front mounted rad which is the only place you can put one at all on the s340 and the intake is lacking due to the solid panel. The new bar looks like it will also prevent any rgb light strips on the top or bottom as it comes all the way out to the edge with 0 space to fit even a light strip.
Literally all the mods I did to my case from a similar model where made for this one. I’m so frustrated that I bought a case that I had to install extra mounts for the bottom for a hard drive, and get rid of the hard drive cage that it came with. This case is amazing and I wish I could have had it 2 years ago.
I like that you can fit 280 or 360 rads both in the front and top, which is very rare for mid towers. Too bad it doesn't have mesh though. Even if there's decent spacing between the filter and the closed front and top it's still going to choke airflow quite a bit. Aesthetics over temps is a bad thing in my book. Could be a great case with some custom mesh modding I guess.
Thanks for the great video Dmitry - can't wait to see your build! 👍
ayyyy love your work nzxt keep it up
I was waiting for your review of this case. You are by far the best case reviewer around.
Tim W awesome, I'll have a look at his case reviews. Thanks for the feedback.
Pennywise That's true, it's a crappy case and it is weird that seems to be glossed over in other places.
Tim W cant focus on his reviews bcoz of hair
I AM EXCITED.
$199
NEVERMIND...
Killer Bratwurst get a fucking job man.. $199 is nothing.
EXACTLY I FUCKING SAID THAT ON THEIR AD ON UTUBE AND THEY SAID STFU
me too
infernal nl As a part timer, that's 1 month's worth of paychecks.

But is Fred happy?
WE'LL FIND OUT RIGHT AFTER THIS BUT NOOOOOOOoooOoooooOoooo WE'LL NOT FIND OUT RIGHT AFTER THIS
He'd say "I AM FRED".
Please do a video for the ITX version next!
oh yes, please! :)
yes please!
Only in Dezember
yes please
it would basically be the same video lmao
For this price I would expect a little bit more.
Arek R. This guy gets it.
Phanteks evolve still looks better

I have S340 Elite, temps are ok.
OC'd 1070 70*C with stock cooling at 100% load and 70*C on OC'd R7 1700 to 3.95Ghz with 280mm kraken AIO at 100% load
I mean, it comes with 2 cases for the price of one, which is really cool
My dudes at NZXT are on point as always. 😎
sedrick campbell 💯
I am a fan of their overall case designs, but definitely wouldn't go there due to the extremely poor ventilation.
Notice how RGB wasn't mentioned once. At least the frills are doing something usefull.
Just try CAM software, you will come back here faster than light editing your comment i'll guarantee you that!
haha I have to use it for my Kraken X62, otherwise I try to stay away.
That is a beautiful case. Well done with the cable management and organization.
H200i pls

Nzxt back at it again with a stunning case!
Got the exact same one. It will be here Wednesday. I can't wait
This feels more like an overview than a review. i was hoping for a build and some testing of the "smart" features.
Seems like most others are please with this level of detail I may be off base here.
I'm actually impress by this case. It's elegant, simple and minimal branding and logos. I also like that the vents on the top are on the sides so the actual top can be used for extra space to put notebooks or whatnot.
Cant wait the out of the box thermals and the bashing it will receive from gamer nexus XD
Haha. I'm looking forward to their review. I imagine with the ventilation holes will work pretty well. I'll assume it'll be better than the s340. Glad they ventilated the top of the PSU shround as well.

Dankerino Nicherino beat me to it haha
Been eagerly waiting for this review! Cant wait for pt.2!!
As much as I love NZXT, $199 is an insane price for a case that isn't much different to the sub-$99 S340 Elite
All it really looks like they did is try to solve some of the problems the s340 elite has; cooling, rad clearance, hdd cable routing, then slap $200 price tag on it. I like it, I think it looks nice, but the s340 is pretty easy to work around and I dont see enough to justify the price jump. Plus CAM is trash.

$200 way too expensive. No puck, no Aer RGB fans, no USB type C, no sound dampening. For $200 - Overpriced!
you have right,for 200$ i will expect the same and USB type C is a must these days
Even the Corsair 570X has RGB fans plus similar watercooling support.
I agree my friend
just get the S340 Elite or H440 until they reduce the price on this trash.
It is overpriced. Agree
Seems like a very refined case! That's refreshing to see.
I dont like the pulled out white bar - I like my brother's s340 elite more internally. However, I love the air vents.
I've been waiting for this for so long! This will be my case. Can't wait for you to build inside it now.
Good case, but the S340 is 95% as good for half the price.
ShockArrow222 the price will drop really fast. It always does, people really need to stop commenting on it, that's also why Dimitri doesn't say a thing about it in the whole video
The prices on the S340 Elite didn't really change since launch.
G33RsofDeath lol the s340 has been pretty much the same price since release and that was like 2 years ago...
Where business is concerned, it's always easier to drop price than it is to increase it (less public backlash) So companies tend to have a release price on the high end, if it doesn't sell at that price they will drop it and people will think positively of them for reducing prices.

Been binge watching case reviews and this one have impressed med the most so far.
Okay so it seems a little expensive but it may actually turn out to be a good buy for those who have been interested in buying the S340 Elite with additional NZXT products 🤔
NZXT S340 Elite = £90
Replace Fans with higher quality ones X4 = £60
Grid + V2 Controller = £30
NZXT Hue LED Extension Kit = £20
Total = £200
Same price, new case, all of the above features in one purchase, better air flow, more water-cooling options, better cable management etc
I'll be buying the NZXT H700i 👏👏👏
but it uses GRID+ V3 + inside the case better cable management + better looking + those SSD mounts are perfect...
I'll be buying the NZXT H700i 👏👏👏
Im gonna buy a nzxt hue extension kit because the led on the case is so short im gonna put some on the side or on the bottom one
What a cool case. Nice looking too. Would love to see one with the same design but another 30% larger to accommodate a larger build (i.e. dual res, more hard drives, etc.). Thanks for the helpful review!
Gotta say I'm surprised! NZXT always had that "mid-range" feel to them but this looks pretty high end. Interested to see how well the CAM functionality comes into play!
That's what I thought. Alas, thin panels and poor design ruined what I thought would be a silent experience. I returned it today.
therealJayRoe damnit dude.... You would think for 200 bucks it would be quality stuff. That bums me out.
Yeah, I don't get why they'd skimp on panels in a $200 case advertised for it noise optimization. It defeats the whole purpose.
Another of my favourite case review videos! I always love these!
200 BUCKS AND NO TYPE C 3.1 GEN 2 FRONT IO released in the end of 2017? Are they out of their minds!?
Mikkel Birch Name me 3 things that you use with Type C.. Unless you're gonna charge some flagship smart phone i don't see the point.
not many mobo have a type c header on them. you need to spend $400+ for a motherboard with that header and moreover i don't find much use of that port. i haven't used the one at back of my motherboard

Azalor Tv
The extra air vent holes on the side edge of the whole case adds $100 more to it lol.
@@HuuTonyTran And the H700i is also bigger.
This could very well be my next case. Excited to see thermal numbers. Especially with water cooling in mind.
NZXT by far makes the best cases, so much attention to detail. I just hope they dont go the route of gimmicky "Smart Case" stuff. After all we're PC people, that kinda gimmick doesnt wow us, in fact it could be a turnoff.

The built in case lighting, push button side panel removal and moveable SSD trays are awesome ideas
Nice case but for 200 i would expect rgb fans atleast included.
It is a very nice case! Nice review! Can’t wait to see what it looks like with a system in it!
*Don't waste it!!!*
*Give it to Techrax*
Wasteception
Can have two 360 rads in this. Nice showcase position for the res/pump. Very good looking case over all. This is a water cooling winner for me.
Nice 😍😍😍
Glad they did an itx version hopefully they're selling it by the time I do my build

t3chn0m0 that's a shame. I really was thinking of buying this case but I have doubts now
you're supposed to flip the bracket around when mounting a radiator on top. Read the instructions.
t3chn0m0 just remove the bracket all together, I’ve done this with the s340 loads of times.
Currently own the H440, not the best for cooling, but certainly great quality. NZXT has really outdone themselves with this new case!
when you just bought the s340 elite
This case does look awesome but if you bought the S340 then you shouldn’t have planning on needing all the rad support. And other than that it’s pretty much an s340 just with more support for radiators.

You did the right choice, this case isn't much different for 100 more dollars.
I love the look of the case I will for sure build my next system in it
A smart case? does it watch rick and morty too?
Watching R&M requires you to be smart?
Molochkai it's irony
to be fair
To be fair you have to have IQ level over 90000000
Damn! I'm really tempted to get this now! This is just amazing!
Does it come with inbuilt hue for the AER RGB fans and enough ports for 3 for the fans?
Shlie huehuehuehue
AnalogFoundry ty
My new case ! Thank you NZXT !
They don't give a puck because it's only for the Hx00i l33t. R U L33T? NO? NO PUCK 4U!
NZXT be like "puck you"
omfg this case is amazing, a black/brushed metallic version would be fucking dream material
I swear to god if HardwareCanucks gives this case a "dam good value award" then I will seriously suspect that HardwareCanucks can no longer give an objective review and is highly influenced by their sponsors. This is far from a dam good value its a Rip Off!

Fred looks happy in there.
Not worth the money.
You punched the camera with Fred, Fred is sad now
Somewhere deep down I knew you would be the first to get an nzxt case to review 😍
Case for the price of a processor? What they are smoking?
Phantek has a $800 one.
There are tons of cases for this price
@HardwareCanucks
Can't wait for the build!
Nothing special
S340 clone for 100 more dollars, lol
The possibility of moving the HDD cage so far back in the bottom of the case makes it possible to mount a pump down there.
Really wanna build my next atx water cooling in this!
OH WOW i really like the design of this case a lot, i want to see the itx version of this maybe it will be my next case.
That PSU shroud is a game changer
Best looking case I've seen. I want it!
I love your video work as much as I love the reviews.
Can't wait for the H400 and H200... Finally an Nzxt itx case doesn't look like a bubble
Finally, the wait is over.
lmfao the beginning "yes yes yes yes" , just made me realize adults are all just grown children too haha working hard for our toys
Oh can't wait to see a build in its going to look nice 👌
NZXT back again with dope cases
I really digg the look. Might get it for my next PC next year.
looking good. Waiting for the system build in.
I think this is the first time I'm actually excited to see a case. Huh, that's a weird feeling, I'm excited about a metal box!
My follow up question regarding this is, WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!
Potential purchase. I'll keep a lookout for discounts
Bro you the best case reviewer 👍👍 keep posting
I am so excited. Have been torn on a new case.
One of the better cases I've seen so far.
It's too beautiful. I need one now
Im guessing you can position the drive cage far left or right is so you can add a second drive cage? Which could be enticing for people with a lot of drives.
Your flowerpot, a beautiful trademark :)
I bougth the S340 Elite last week and im really happy with that case. The S340 Elite looks very nice with my steelseries arctis 5 on the puck ;)
I would like to see a case, where you open the side of the case, where the mainboard is located (Right side of the case) and your Mainbord will be unfolded then with the sidepanel together. Easy access mount and quick assembly. And between the sidepanel and the mainboard would be the cablemanagment, what unfolds too. No longer cables needed for this scenario, cause by unfolding the cable have the same distance to the mainboard as before. For better access on the cables, you can disassembly the plate, which holdt the mainboard
This case is looking lovely! I especially like the indentation for the glass panel, the back panel's quick mounting mechanism, and the near lego like mounting system they have with the SSD tray. The removable fan mounting bracket up top is also very helpful, as anyone who has tried to put a radiator there would affirm. That white shroud, while nice and pretty, does not have enough functionality to justify its odd shape for me. That being said, the case retains its classy NZXT look, which will still be a major selling point for lots of buyers.
Another thing that goes somewhat unnoticed but I consider pretty impressive, is the fact that they managed to retain rigidity of the case despite the heavy use of meshed metal sheets and removable components. This, compounded with the amount of design features they managed to squeeze in, just makes the case truly "a new standard" (Science Studio).
I am quite eager to see the review of the ITX version. Many builders, myself included, now realized that they probably only need one PCIE16x lane for graphics card and that's it. If the ITX version retains most of the features of the ATX version and is not much more difficult to build in, meanwhile being offered at a lower price (which I would expect), I think its sales may have the potential to match or even exceed that of the ATX and/or MATX version. Looking forward to the review!
So jelly! I need this case. Love my S340 elite I can only expect this one to be much better based on what I see. The magnet puck should have been included I agree. Love the clean look and functionality of this case.
Thank you dimitri!
I respect how you didn't stretch it out to the 10 minute mark. :^)
Looking forward to the full review! I wish companies would start filtering the top as well but I know most people use it as exhaust. Might be a case i look into. I'm hopeful. No case has had everything I wanted yet.
I'm sorry, but I'm a 100% NZXT fanboy. When I initially saw the H440 I just couldn't resist. After almost 4 years it's still a dope ass case... But now they've outdone themselves, again. They continue to be one of the most innovative, mold-breaking companies out there.
Very clean lines, NICE!
Maybe you can move the HDD caddy closer to the PSU is because is enough clearance to mount another caddy so you can have a lot of storage, beautiful case btw
Dmitry, you're just such a likeable host. Keep up all the amazing content and hard work :) we notice and appreciate it
+Jonathan Sporrong ha thank you! 👍
the reasoning for the wide range in movement might be for if you want to add a second hard drive cage
I have a NZXT - Phantom 240 case and now i want this one
EVER SINCE I SAW THE ANNOUNCEMENT I WAS WAITING FOR THE *HWC* REVIEW LOL
Just a small criticism on this case. I have the s340 and only have one complaint, the metal cable management divider thing extends into the case on the top of that one preventing doing push/pull on a front mounted radiator on the top as it is, they actually made that worse making it pretrude even more into the case, my hopes were opposite on an update an dhoped they made it flush all the way up so you could actually do push/pull on the front mounted rad which is the only place you can put one at all on the s340 and the intake is lacking due to the solid panel. The new bar looks like it will also prevent any rgb light strips on the top or bottom as it comes all the way out to the edge with 0 space to fit even a light strip.
Nzxt cases look amazing. I use the s340.
Literally all the mods I did to my case from a similar model where made for this one. I’m so frustrated that I bought a case that I had to install extra mounts for the bottom for a hard drive, and get rid of the hard drive cage that it came with. This case is amazing and I wish I could have had it 2 years ago.
I also added in a usb 3.0 hub inside the case so I could plug in LED lights inside the case without extra cables being to visible
I like that you can fit 280 or 360 rads both in the front and top, which is very rare for mid towers. Too bad it doesn't have mesh though. Even if there's decent spacing between the filter and the closed front and top it's still going to choke airflow quite a bit. Aesthetics over temps is a bad thing in my book. Could be a great case with some custom mesh modding I guess.
Actual innovation! Impressive! :P
Some thoughtful details I like SSD mounting and cable routing. Can't say I'd spend 2 bills though.
