Right, so looks like I'll be getting a new case! Hooray for me and ill be sure to post lots of informative like stuff (pictures, stuff, and other stuff). Looks to be the best mATX case on the market

Looks nice. I like the use of mesh. SFF PCs have always needed more air without having to take up space with an intake fan.

That looks like one heck of a case there man! Be sure to take some pics for us when you get everything in hand and assembled!

Looks like a sweet mATX case! Be sure to get some pics up! But holy Jesus, is it expensive! $320 for a mATX case?! Ludicrous...

Hell, the power switch alone is $20! Imagine how much it would cost you just to buy the sheets of aluminum raw material too. Looking at the build quality of this case, I'd say it is worth the cost (if you can afford it).

A SFF case that is built to support watercooling is going to cost a pretty penny.

well i may have just run into a problem . . . the power supply I currently have evidently doesn't allow a cd drive to be installed in the case. . . not good . . .

If your going to be dropping that much money on a case, might as well get a new PSU too...

Well, there are some slightly less long - probably still wouldn't fit in that top slot, but I could see it fitting in the bottom 3rd slot; as long as the power cables went over and then around the drive, anyway.

Yeah, I agree. I bet you can just use the top-most modular connectors on the PSU and put the optical drive in the second or third drive bay down and you should be fine. If not, we'll make yet another PSU switch to get you up and running.
I'm thinking of getting a new PSU myself anyway...
