Totally agree, i have been looking at the H2GO for far too long, but they can easily fit a triple rad in the bottom, and still have rad mounts in the top chamber, thus dramatically increasing WC possibilities out of the box.
In other words, i'd like a relatively compact/mobile watercooling cube with the flexibility and quality of CaseLabs:)

A locking side door option would be cool. And no I'm not referring to a mini-safe

Indeed I remember that - being able to lock the doors on a merlin is more important than a magnum because they'll be more likely to be taken to lan parties. Certainly I can't see taking my TX10-D to a lan. I can't even fit it in the car without taking it back to flatpack state
