Could not find a reference to them in this forum so I thought I'd mention them: I think Cubitek has some interesting cases. (If I overlooked a post with these cases: sorry for the spam ;)) Appearently Cubitek was a manufacturer for other brands but now have some cases of there own. Just to point out two:

Tank Series:

xl-tank-01s.jpg
hptx-tank-01s.jpg


Magic cube series:

Personally I'm considering the Magic cube for my new rig.
 
I think the Tank series looks pretty nice, actually. I'd like to know what the pricing is.
 
Very interesting cases, and I definitely dig a lot of their ideas/styling. Their mini-iTX case (the mini-Tank) looks pretty sweet, and all 4 of their case lines show a lot of know-how. Till we have pricing information it's impossible to know how they compare to the rest of the market, but the only major complaint I have against their cases is the lack of dust filters (merely slapping one on the PSU intake doesn't count). Considering their targeting the all-aluminum market, not having filters is a big oversight when established players like Lian Li and Silverstone do this easily. By not having dust filters, they pit themselves against other companies like Mountain Mods and, more recently, the spiffy stuff from Case Labs.

Google turns up a ton of (p)reviews for their products, mostly of their Tatoo line of cases, but did find some other write-ups including this one for the XL Tank.

According to the preview you linked, the XL-Tank does have a filter for the front intake and the PSU. The other fan ports are exhausts, so they shouldn't have filters.

Guess I skimmed the review so lightly that I totally missed that, thanks for pointing it out. I had looked at the pics 'n' specs on the Cubitek website and nothing seemed to have any filtering except for the PSU. Now I'm wondering which cases do include filters; mainly the Tank and Magic cube series, but also the Tattoo and m4 lines.
 
The Magic Cube looks nice! It seems like a great concept to separate the components. Gives a lot of options for setup.
