This is a $50-$80 case. I don't see $150 here. It's certainly a decent looking case ,with interesting accent's , and a "unique'ish" look to it. Front bezel is a bit uninspired, I see a LOT of older Antec full tower cases traits in this case, it gives a bit of a Commercial, or buissness type feel with all of those grills. The "front" panel is Non-existent , which is a little troubling, I personally leave My X-Box controller plugged in, along with head phone extensions, amongst other items, and frankly having ANY cords protruding out of the top of your case is a tad shitty looking. I've Personally NEVER understood the reasoning behind Top side USB/3.5mm jack, who the hell wants that? Aside from a niche few who have their set-up's surrounded on either side, it is really not an ideal set-up. A bit of a risk for XFX to take with their first case(basing their build on a niche set-up type). IMO , the whole HDD cage "craze" NEEDS to be put in check. We no longer only have tiny HDD's, a 1Tb drive is less than $100 USD nowaday's, so why case makers keep making dedicated positions for 15 HDD's is absolutely absurd to Me, the only reason for that many drives is dedicated servers and the like, and what fool would buy a MID tower for that application? I KNOW that the problem is ALL (most) PC component manufacturers , and MANY other types of merchandise makers have the SERIOUS issue with product "confusion". :::for example::: XFX makes a Case, a mid size case...they sit down with "PC experts" , engineer's, and financial advisors, and they figure out what is Do-able. @ this point, the "idea" guys throw out all of these sound ideas, but TOO many of these "sound" ideas get put into one build, and what You end up with , is a Case that has a Little of EVERYTHING. I personally think that OEM's, NEED to move AWAY from making single products that they TRY to make appealing to Everyone, and start concentrating MORE on making "specialty" or "specific" products. So when You have a Company like XFX making their First case, they look at it like this......."We are making a MID size case, aimed @ enthusiast's. SO lets give it a PRIORITY on GPU space.....CPU cooler space......AIO, or custom loop space"...... SENSIBLE areas of development.THEN, with what space is left, they can account for 3 HDD's, NOT adding Removeable cages, thats Still the "frankenstien" tactic. Dedicated is a term that NEEDS to be a MORE common part of todays manufacturer's. they are all just TOO scared to commit to any ONE area of the market, because they dont want to upset their delicate consumers. At the end of the day, companies keep making "luxury" items like cases that cost $300 because people are foolish enough to buy them(we DONT need them,people just WANT them).unfortunately, these are the types of thinking, that feed the whole ambiguous product category. I have a $40 thermaltake case, that is VERY well ventilated, has PLENTY of space, and has NEVER given ME a problem either with adding in water loop's, multiple HDD's , DVD drive, or multiple GPU's.....etc. Hopefully , XFX will learn from this endeavour, and refine their process to better suite the more realistic PC enthusiasts needs.
