I saw this case and my heart missed a beat its beautiful and very soon it's going to be all mine. I have finally found the case for me to replace my old Antec SOHO server case which has winy little 80mm fans.

A thing of bueaty.

Any thoughts on the case?

Great Case! Very good choice, I got one about 8 months ago and love it.
It has a very spacious interior, really quiet fans, lots of drive bays. The cable management thing is cool but I don't ever use it.
Lastly if you move this case around at all, BE CAREFUL of the shiny metal finish on the front it scratches reeeallly easily.

Is the insde of the case cool enough from the fans.

Stays cool enough for my rig:
Intel Core 2 E6700 2.66GHz (O.C'd to 3GHz)
ASUS P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe
Gigabyte Geforce 7950GX2
Western Digital 120GB SATA

Intel Core 2's overclock alot before they heat up alot so I imagine if your doing overclocking on any other processors this case might heat up more.

Where do you reckon I should put the three heat sensor probes.

I was thinking CPU GPU and HDD but where on them do I put them to get the most accurate readings.

[Indybird]

Put the CPU probe on the CPU heatsink near but obviously not ON the CPU.
Put the GPU probe where the core is on the opposite side of the card, or on the heatsink
The HDD doesn't really matter but I have mine on the exposed chip portion

Ok thanks. I'm just having to mess around with paypal. Stuff the case will arrive soon. When it does I'll pull it apart and do a write up for you all about it.
