question:

if this is a horizontal-mobo case, isn't there enough room to rotate the PSU slot 90degrees, move it closer to the center, and then allow for more rad in place where that PSU slot is now?

Or did someone tip over a TX10?

Eitherway, excite

It's definitely horizontal because the motherboard rear I/O is integrated into the case. Just like the Mercury series.

Magnum Horizontal, but what number is the question. If 8-10 with SSI-EEB, all hell just broke out.

OMG!!!!!!!! If this is horizontal ATX I can see an MM case going out for the second time

When is this tease will be more than a tease Kevin?

Also I will let you choose if you send me this or an SMA8

Awesome. Either this or the S5 for me. But I'm guessing this will be a better buy.
If the damage is within reason, I'm ready.
 
#19 ·
Ooooooh, please please please please please be the S8, because then I'll finally be able to solve the whole S5 vs M8 debate going on in my head right now (i want a cube case, but also want ATX and horizontal motherboad).

And with official news coming out in approx a week with availability an estimated 2-3 weeks away.... hey HR, hurry up on my T4 slip, I want a nice new case!!!

That's more like it. NOW I think Mountain Mods is in trouble, if they weren't before.
