I would avoid that at all costs. It's nothing but a big, tacky dust magnet.
If you're really looking at a big, flashy full-tower with lots of LED's and 1337-ness (), then I'd look at the Xaser VI. It was also ~$300 earlier this year, but it's dropped down to almost $145 on the Egg (last I checked). It is by Thermaltake though, and if you get it from the Egg, you're risking some carrier damage... I've heard the fins on the back are a little fragile, but the rest is like a tank.

But the case I'm sure many here on OCN won't hesitate to recommend is the HAF 932. Despite all the wackiness it appears to be, it's relatively understated for such a flashy computer case... It's the quality and features that really shine once you become acquainted with it. And with the addition of a couple cathodes, it can be just as flashy as that Xclio, but much higher quality, with better airflow (despite less noise and fewer fans), more features, more expandability, generally more awesomeness, and a lower pricetag.

Food for thought.

I have the Xclio 380PLUS and love it. Plenty of airflow. I'm sure the 1000's a great case too.

And the HAF would be a much better choice. It wont fall apart on you.

Wouldn't be my first choice, nice fan controls however.

I'm with others, I'd look more towards CM 932 and such.

Main question you have to ask is, What do You want out of the case? What quality do you want? Wire management important?

IMO, that case doesn't answer those questions for me very well at all.

But to each's own and you need to buy what You like. If you like it, get it.

If you have drooled over this case for 10 MONTHS.....why not buy it? Looks like it has good airflow. If you're gonna watercool in the future I'd much rather recommend the HAF932.
