Hmm, not liking this as much as the SG09, however they are for different purposes.

I don't like how the hdds cover up 24pin and looks like perhaps part of the ram.

Installation would be a little tough without being able to remove the hdd bay area.
 
For a moment I was thinking, hoping it might be a watercooling version of the SG09... oh well. Back to 2005 design: too many drive bays and 80/92mm case fans :)
 
No removeable HDD trays or rack :(

It's a pain trying to install, remove or replace drives when the MB and cables are in the way.
 
I guess I just don't see the point in this case with the SG09 just about to be available worldwide and all. It might be a good value-oriented object for people that dig oldschool tower aesthetics.
 
It's a a fully functional MATX case, probably under $60 and with decent cooling potential
 
The PS08 is not really targeted at people that would normally visit hardware forums, but since it's been brought up here. I'll provide a little bit more info:

- PS08 is smaller than it looks, at around 24 liters, it is 20% smaller than TJ08-E.

- It's inexpensive, the estimated street price should be well under $50.

- November availability.
 
A case that size and the rear fan is 92mm? Thats a fail IMO. SS couldn't fit a 120mm in there?
