hi guys just looking for honest opinions on above. As I'm gearing up to start ordering all the parts for my X99 build over the next month or so, I'm looking to finalize a few bits and pieces. One of them being a case i was having a look around and stumbled upon this on Sale. Its something abit different to the norm which is always a cool thing so i am considering it based on your opinions say VS a 900D which at this point is the case i intend on going with.

Erh, I really don't like how that looks.

 

[MadMarc]

It's really not a pretty case and it seems to me that it's much larger than it needs to be

The construction and the materials look quite good and I do enjoy how clean and simple the interior is. I mean that thing makes a Caselabs look a bit cluttered and fussy and that gets some real kudos from me.


My only problem with it is how is the user supposed to enjoy it and engage with the sexy hardware it's filled with? There are no picture perfect views and like where would you put it? On the floor in the corner :/ nobody is going to walk into your cave and even kind of notice it, it can't compete with a 900D sat high up on a desk with one big pane of hardware to suck you in.

I like it, but it doesn't utilize it's excessive size to any kind of advantage on an aesthetic level. Maybe with modding it could, anything could that's the beauty of modding if you have the vision. For sure though it wouldn't be just another 900D or Caselabs build, it could be something special with a little exterior work.

It's different that's for sure, kind of reminds me of early Lian Li cases with the flat faces and caster wheels. Looks like it could be custom loop modding heaven (if it's done right).

It could be prettier. If you find the right colors and theme. Have to be modded. Stock it look stock. Its big and boring with stupid wheels. Wont spend money on it if you not willing to make it pretty

 

[MadShadow]

Looks too much like a scratch project someone made, than an actual proper PC manufactured by an experienced manufacturer.

Simple and elegant, nice case. I don't like wheels on a case, so if you want to pull in air at the bottom, you'll need to mod the base. Looks clean and functional as a computer should, not toy like.

I do love the simplicity of this case. I do love how there is heaps of room in the case allowing the potential to get really creative with a water cooling design.

What i don't like is that the windows are so dam tiny! And the other thing i don't like is that as far as i can tell all cables will be exposed like you can hide them from view if your looking through the top but not the side zzzzz.

Oh and i realize casters arnt the prettiest thing to look at on a case but i quite like them when your rig is 30kg+ god they make moving it around when you have to so much easier.


Oh there is also currently an option C.

I could build the desk ive drawn up plans for. Only problem there is I'm not sure what material to use. And i don't have any wood working skills or tools for that matter haha.

But i have drawn up a unique desk featuring a 3 piece table top ��

Honest opinion? Its for a diehard XSPC fan. Nothing against the case but at that rate you mine as well get a CaseLabs case. Then you know you got the real thing!

Speaking of CaseLabs.. been a while since Tom did a review of them

Shipping to Aus would be murder >.<

I guess it could be a good alternative should caselabs not be available in your location?
