Add me to the club! Just bought the white one from newegg. YOUCH, that's the most I've ever payed for a case in my life, so Intend on using it for a looooong time. This will house my re-designed water-cooling loop and I'm looking forward to a super clean and self-contained setup!

I ordered some different water cooling gear, So I wont be transferring to this case til next monday.

I do note that with the swiftech H20-220 kit, The fillport at the rear is covered up by a piece of metal on the top. Its also on there just for show, As I'm selling the kit, But I think the red tubing inside looks very nice.

I am usually a fan of either white or black tubing, but that red tubing does look sexy in a mostly white case! Have you been pulling the case apart much? What's the overall experience/build quality in your opinion?

Good thing they forgot the part where its a liquid case obviously. Who really cares about 2C compared to other cases?

As soon as I get all my new stuff together and this case actually comes out in black, I'll have a 360 up top, a 240 down below, 2500K, and 7950 (probably).

And every other review site has pretty much lauded the case. There's always going to be a few nitpicks, everyone always wants something more or something different. For a mass-production case, especially at the price point, it's a phenomenal case.
