Pretty much just looks like the Lian Li PC-Q07 series with a corrugated look. Personally I prefer brushed aluminium myself but thought I'd share this incase some people prefer a corrugated look.

thanks for sharing. interesting look. i really like the power and sata plugs in the back too
 
I like the simple slot for the ODD. Would be great to see such an option in Lian Li cases such as Q02.
 
If anyone is interested in getting these, just let me know. I already bring in the E-i7, E-i5, E-i3 and E-K3 but if there's enough interest I can get these too.
 
Looks like a solid case with that thick aluminium and it's nice to see a manufacturer giving pure 2.5" options. The depth a bit shallow; can't fit a 10" GPU in there but it would be good for an office PC. I think they could have made it a bit smaller if they went with an SFX PSU.

As much as I love seeing ODD slots on a new case, it bugs me when they don't add an eject button.
 
You can (and probably should) use an SFX PSU in these cases with a SFX-to-ATX adapter bracket. Some SFX PSUs like the FSP retail and the Silverstones even come with the bracket.

You could also use a picoPSU in these cases with an adapter plate that mounts the jack and an optional 80mm fan.
