    Couldn't believe this one when I saw it on Komplett. Naturally I understand that the cooling and access potential are excellent but so too are daily disasters not to mention day to day concerns like dust.

    Pretty harsh review by hardwaresecrets but I'd have to agree. Might be an alright choice if the location of your PC is extremely clean, isolated and private, and even then only if you are using 1 or 2 disks maximum. But I wouldn't dream of using this. Would anyone?

    Its aimed at enthusiasts and overclockers who just setup for a quick benchmark, they usually just setup loosely on top of the motherboard box.

    I could understand someone using it for display reasons, to show off their components. When I'm testing I just set it up on my desk.

    tbh any review I saw said it was a wee bit fiddly to work on and due to the its constructed: a lot of cpu coolers won't fit correctly.

    Seems like a nice idea done badly.

    I really like the idea though!! I wanted it as soon as I saw it sa my media center

    In theory the idea of this case is great, but its not practical. You need to remove one of the side grills to attach the psu cable, and the mounting holding the fan above the motherboard obstructs the use of a tall cpu cooler like pixie said. There are companies out there... or should i say people out there that make test beds much better then this:

    Would make a pretty cool case if someone modded it to cover up all the open sides with clear perspex :D
