Default Antec Skeleton
Anyone have any experience with this case?

http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product.php?id=NzA0

Im really wanting to try it out, just not sure if its any good....or if its design is all that awesome...Would be SICK to have a nice open design case though.

Would make it easier for my "tinkeritis"

Would like to know if anyone ran into problems with a certain number of HDD's or to big of heatsinks or anything like that.

Your heatsink isn't going to fit.

Only very short towers and down-draft heatsinks will fit. We have no idea how Antec could have overlooked such a glaring clearance problem. The Skeleton is targeting the enthusiast market, but does not support enthusiast coolers—what a huge disappointment.

I know your cooler and the Noctua are pretty much the same height if I remember correctly.

The only problem I've had with the Skeleton is the clearance issue.
