Yeah, if anyone needs all those drives, SFF may not be the way to go. I will put a SSD swap drive in the 3.5 and an optical in the 5.25.
I actually like the tight fit. As long as there is room inside for a radiator and the HDD cage is removable, I'm good to go.
Seem like the PCI card...
want this. Using a Lian Li 351. Nice case but it heats up pretty good (1366). I usually leave the sides off and that seems to help. This case allows a bigger cooler and that massive fan in the front cant hurt.
I like the upside-down MB configuration.
The case uses standard width (25mm) 120mm fans.
I think he's using these in the picture because there are 7 blades:

IMO, the NH-C12P SE is still the best heatsink for this case because it cools very well and it fits without...
The fan is Noctua. So is the heatsink.
I really need to pick up the NH-C12P SE. It fits perfectly in the 350.
I'm currently using a CoolerMaster Gemini II and it sucks on my 920. The heat pipes practically burn my hand after playing BC2 for an hour and that's at STOCK.
What? How could they not reproduce this in the lab?
I walked into the Apple store and reproduced the effect on the first phone I picked up. It went from 4 bars to none in about 20 seconds. It didn't drop to 'searching' but 4 bars to none is a significant issue.
Nice.
The extra slot allows a little breathing room between 2 graphic cards for mobo with PCIe in last slot. Good design.
Hopefully the PSU is now out of the way of the CPU cooler. That's the biggest drawback of the 35x cases.
Unfortunately, I see they are sticking with the six tiny screws to...
As noted above, stay away from non-reference designs. My reference 5850 OCs to 935/1200 with a slight voltage adjustment and never has a problem with heat. Fan runs at 45% or lower.
