I thought big is out?
The pricing is big as well. Perhaps a slight matter of 2022 inflation? Curious about once many more in-depth reviews on this new enclosure develop. Off the cuff: "The case for me looks a little bombastic and unrefined especially from the front!" I have on the other hand always been a 'distant admirer' of the more conservative and sophisticated $900 Phantec Enthoo Elite. But wonder if the HAF 700 sports the same no-holds-barred glory of the Enthoo Elite with its thick luxurious and custom engineered all aluminum fixings like it's fantastic door hinge mechanisms? And all the other extras including the special shipping case Phantec provides. There is also still the remaining question if super-sized and heavy PC enclosures like this are still wanted. Bottom-line: For me my initial impression is that the HAF 700 is not even remotely close to the Enthoo Elite in quality and what Cooler Master should have offered with any of their cases in excess of $600-$800!

This HAF is half the price of the Enthoo Elite though. It probably wants to be around £300 - £350, but it seems matching in quality from what I can see to the Cosmos II sitting next to me and better than the C700P and M that came out a few years ago. The trim on those has fitting issues. The Enthoo Elite I can't disagree with you about and the budget allows, so when I've rearrange my space so I can actually move around without tripping over or being crowded out, one is likely to find its' way into my grubby little hands.
Treet yourself: you only live once and you should do it to the max.

nooo dont do that, you will end up with the 1000D like me. I think i have finally decided to downgrade and shrink to something that fits on my desk, not something that I can fit into.
