Has anybody bought this case? Would like to see some comments from anybody who owns it. It retails for $400 so I won't be buying anytime soon but its nice to dream. :rolleyes:

I ordered one today. Probably won't have the system done for a month or so. I've been building my own WC'd boxes for about 8 years and currently have 4 running on my LAN. But this case looked pretty sweet when I saw it in maxpc so I decided to give it a shot.

I'll post up some photos when I get it unboxed...:)

That case isn't worth the metal its made of. It uses the cheapest water cooling on earth. Never go with cheap water, when air can do much better.

Well to start, props to eWiz for getting it here in 2 days when I only paid for UPS ground. I'd also ordered a LianLi PC7B Plus II from Directron that was supposed to be delivered Fri. so when the UPS truck pulled up on Thurs. I thought it was the 7b a day early....until I saw the size of the box that is....
