    Must be New... completely different chassis than the Blackbone as it a bottom PSU, and a slightly larger box so nothings similar.

    From what I can tell that’s not silver brushed aluminum around the O/I, but just a shine from the black plastic while it has less USB ports than the Orginal Blackbone. I not big on the red trim (or red fan); I’m sure not real anodized aluminum, look like glossy red candy paint, but you can probably paint that to your liking. I was thinking that carbon fiber adhesive backed vinyl would be a nice touch.

    The Eggview are complementary, but read... there’s (14) the typical give and take of comments about what you a expect from a budget case. Given a 7.25 width reviews say it just not enough to work a tall cooler like a Hyper 212, so that's a drawback. Not exactly a contender to the C-M HAF 912 or NZXT Tempest 410 from the other day, but worth a look given the less OoP price and no rebates.

    It is wide enough to use a Hyper 212+ with just under 3cm's to spare. The Hyper 212+ is 158.5mm tall and the Redbone is 184.15mm wide. Should just barely fit.. even taking into account standoffs. Forget the side panel fans tho. Just ordered this case for my wife's pc build. I'll post back with a definitive answer on whether or not the Hyper 212+ fits in a few days.
