I'm getting one soon.

I've made my decision to go for it,over Antec 1200 and HAF932.Although it's more expensive.

Design,Cable management,Airflow,Very toolless.Motherboard rear fan.My main reasons.

I also am aware about the cons.(Plastic feel)

Just want to hear some REAL thoughts about it,from people that ACTUALLY have it...

But you guys can say something too.

You know that you pictured the advanced package right? You didn't have that in your title.
I never understood the "chambers" as all they appear to do is trap heat.

Yeah,i know.Edited.

I'm getting that one.

My Xaser 3 is old stuff.

I had to remove the 2 intake fans because my Zerotherm Nirvana wouldn't fit.

My temps are very bad ,with the side panel.

Nice, man. My Spedo's in the mail as well. I'm crossing my fingers I'll like it... reshipping + restocking fees on a case like that are rather unfortunate.

Arriving soon?

Give me some impressions when it does.

According to Robilar's "review", some tower coolers won't fit because of the side fan on the A.P.... He said the Thermalright Ultra-120 wouldn't, although I've seen two instances in which it did. I'm hoping the Xigmatek will be shorter. Mine should come Wednesday or sooner (hopefully). If yours comes sooner, lemme know how that Nirvana fits pl0x. We might both need new coolers 0.0.
Yeah i was curious about that as well.

But i saw a video with the Coolermaster V8 inside,and it fitted.

My zerotherm nirvana is 11mm shorter,and Xigmatek Red Scorpion is 2mm shorter than the V8.So both will fit

I saw that same video. Except according to some sites, the V8 is 158mm, and Tjharlow said it touched the fan on the side panel.

I thought about that afterwards. I am wondering if the instances where a tower cooler fit was with an AMD board. The cpu socket is higher up than an intel LGA775 location. As such it might fit.

I also noticed that the cpu sits higher with the EVGA 780i (SLI LGA 775 board) than an intel chipset based non sli board. (presumably because the NB is smaller on the intel chipset board over the nforce)

I tried two different intel based boards in the speedo advance and aligned the TRUE horizontally and vertically. I can say with certainty that you cannot use a TRUE with an asus rampage formula or the gigabgyte UD3P series with the Spedo advance.

Even if you can, airflow intake is still sub par. The door fan is the only saving grace as the front intake fan is completely blocked by the hard drive cages.

There are so many other cases in the same price range that provide better airflow for the same price or less, it just doesn't compete.

I agree with Robilar. In fact, I even did my own first impressions a minute or two ago. I recommend you check it out... It will probably offend you.
