Covers _up_ the essentials, like unobstructed front cooling.

I like the looks of this. A properly thought through quality case with everything you need at a decent price.

Covers _up_ the essentials, like unobstructed front cooling.

Case fans are so slow these days that you'd never notice the pressure drop, and it keeps the noise in

“Stifled front intake” *stifled yawn*; `venturi effect`.
do you think the designers of these cases are idiots?

I think it looks elegant and smart but this side vent thing bugs me a little , logic suggests it being restrictive to airflow. Detrimental ?, depends on what components you are running I suppose as to internal temps. Nice to have an optical bay , apart from the fact I still use a DVD burner I also use a removable hard drive caddy and I like it all together in one box rather than plug in various leads all over the place for externals.

Sounds like my kind of case, although by the time I need to upgrade my current (17 year old, at least three changes of innards and still going strong) case, it may not be available :(
