What do you think about it?

I am contemplating getting one of these for a little project I am doing.

Any user experiences are appreciated.

TIA
 
I am writting a review on one that should hopefully be out next week or this weekend if you are lucky :)

It is a nice case, Dworley obviously has one. Some compatibility issues like must SFF cases (PSU length mainly) but overall fairly nice.

Where are you thinking on getting it from by the way :p
 
Probably will purchase from performancepcs.

They have always been good for me to deal with.

What is the PSU clearance. I would be using a standard 5.5" depth PSU.

:( I sell them for $10 cheaper hehe.

Yeah the 5.5" in depth is good!
 
I'd buy it from Steve. PPCS es no bueno. Their products are fine, but if you ever have to deal with a return... Hank eventually came through with the refund, but only to avoid a nasty review. X-Gene's support is also abyssmal, but hey it's a case. What could go wrong? On the other hand, I had an ARIA and Antec was cool enough to send an entirely new front panel, when the springs vanished! Even covered by a 3 year warranty.

Case has some serious flaws like HD placement, but also some advantages. All depends on what you want to do with it.

Thanks man! I try to develop relationships with the vendors to avoid the mess you had. Not sure why PPCS did that to you as it wasn't that much money to them and better keeping a customer happy than saving a few bucks. Just from you alone they will loss future sales from you (probably) plus you are recommending other sites over that one which hurts them even more.
 
actually i just bought one from steeeve's store and waiting for it to come in, great deal, ten bucks cheaper and less shippings charge than performance-pc. and steeeeve's store is great!! his store my new newegg, espically when he gets more stuff.

I'm working on it...it takes a long time.

One downside is that I dropship everything so I can never tell quality of shipping, correctness of order, or inspection of products. This is normally never a big deal because stuff comes from the vendor anyway so someone will experience those problems :)

The plus side is that I can offer lower prices sometimes and there is little overhead.
