    Mine doesn't have enough room behind the mobo tray to hide wires.
    It also doesn't have a power supply crossbar to hide lights.
    And it's made of steel

    ok the screw less slot holding designs that are out there today SUCK. IMHO

    Either need 3 hads to put it on or doesnt hold and you have to tap it out to get a good hold.

    A case with a modular drsiegn would be great. Where the HDD mounts and the optical mounts could be switched. and that had provisions for the PSu to be mounted on the bottom of the case aswell as the top of the case (or allow Dual PSU!) with enough space and screw holes to hold 2 Mobo's. A switchable front plate that gives you one with a power / reset button and HDD light for each Mobo or a front plate the just has one power/ reset button and HDD light that controls both mobos. With 120mm fan mounts in front and rear.



    Just giving you Ideas.

    one thing that goes along with the weight comment, is there any particular reason why we haven't seen any cases that are made out of titanium? I have seen titanium products and seem to be far more complex.

    Just curious
