    I do like antec case's in general.

    Well it should be easy to clean the dust, but you will be cleaning it more offten then a closed one.

    Its aimed at being an overclocking benchmarkers case, most of them just leave motherboards loose on a desk. Can't see it catching on TBH

    It looks nice and it's a novel idea by antec. But, it's a jumped up tech station and i can't see any of those uber overclockers buying it as it would probably make the job harder when there choppin and changing bit's all the time. Easier to leave it on a bench imo. As said dust would be a big issue too although bench rigs are seldom left long enough to gather any i'd imagine.
