    but the case looks ugly, ben.

    Actually, this is a superb case, just maybe not up to the standards of the neon-encrusted, chrome-plated, Raidmax pocket-rocket cases favored by 14-year olds worldwide.

    Quirky airflow with intake in rear, front mounted PSU exhaust. One reviewer mentioned the need to have components in the upper bays so the air is not recycled up the front bezel cavity and back in through their empty holes, but a piece of duct-tape blocking the empty areas would probably also remedy this issue.

    I've used this case 6 times now, twice for my own systems, and I have no problems with airflow, even with a Quad and a pretty "hot" video card, and 2x HDs and DVDs. I suspect those reviewers needed to pay attention to the direction their fans are blowing, because the bezel thing is simply not a problem.

    The thing that I like the most about this case is how you can remove all the major pieces very easily (over and over again without damage), and they snap back into place very securely. I've bought some expensive cases over the years, and this one keeps getting me back for another one.

    The PSU location can be argued, I suppose, but using high quality PSUs really helps too.

    Given the size and meager benefits that this case offers it still slightly high on the price range. Lian Li is a bit full of themselves for their products. They are taking the artsy approach " pay us because it's minimalistic". It's a ghey move. You can get a case that offers far more functionality than this for about the same price and also would probably be a bit bigger and have more space.

    I have two. Silver and black. They are by far the best cases I have ever used.

    Light, stylish, easy to work inside of, and comes with sound dampening bumpers, tools, etc...

    GREAT CASE!

    Very elegant and sleek in person. Clear windows with neon lights and a lot of plastic is ugly, imo.
