This one is smaller and has
- 280 radiator support
- two hardware layouts in one case (sandwich and classic)
- a less stealthy design
- you can flip the internal chassis 180° - bottom will be top and top will be bottom

This case is the fusion of a traditional hardware layout and the sandwich layout. The list of features is long...

Van0: Great result. How much affect has the fan duct on the results? Did you tested pull vs push? Can you confirm that the black ridge isn't matte black painted annymore? Now it is more like black nickel plated?
