Excellent review - I've been waiting for this one! Any comments on the psu? assuming ots the same one that Stak supply it with. All I have to do now is decide wether to go for this or save up lots more pennies and go for a black widow?

Good review.
I will agree the front needs more holes for air.
I have one black and one silver and have had the silver one since November last year. Both have been modded for 120mm Fans in front.
Both are running the OEM yum cha PSU without a hitch. One a P4 system and the other a 2700+system running 24/7 doing F@H.
Anyway for the price excellent.

Agreed… nice review (as always). : )

I also have one of these bad boys, in silver. Best looking case I've found yet (for the price).

I am curious to know how you've mod'ed the front (120mm intake). I'd like to do the same, but haven't thought of how to do this while retaining the aesthetic of the case. You don't happen to have any pics do ya?

Re the psu do either of you have your systems o'clocked?

Thanks for the comments on the review.

Sorry I didn't look at the PSU in more detail. I'll bare this in mind in future reviews. The stock PSU ran my P4 2.4ghz, 512mb ram, 120gb sata HD, without any problems. My system wasn't overclocked though.

It's a nice change being able to look at these cases in more detail rather than sticking to the famous cooler master range.

Just to let you all know, the PSU is of exceptional quality. I must admit though, it is unbranded as its an OEM based product. The PSU itself is a TUV rated PSU (a real 450W) with PFC, and thermally controlled. IMHO 450W is more than enough for 90% of todays home and enthusiast systems.

You also might like to to know, carrera use this case in their high end systems.

I cut horizontal slots 9mm wide rounded on each end the full length of a 120mm circle, decreasing in length as you go out from the middle, so that you have short slots top and bottom, in both the metal and perspex. The space between the slots is 8mm.

This mod is not for the faint hearted as the perspex has to be drilled with a blunt drill otherwise it cracks easily. I practised on other perspex until I had the right bluntness on the drill which did not blow out the back.

Then used a scroll saw.

Sorry there are no pictures as a digital camera is low on my list of priorities as I am into Folding@Home and going for 3000ppw. But I will see if I can borrow one and post a picture or two.
