This seems like a very cool case - as I dont care that much about weight but I want something that looks good (in a minimalistic way) and is fairly quiet.

Does anyone own this yet? I want to put a quad in there Q6600 or the newer one when it comes out and so I need a hefty heat sink - like a thermalright ultra 120 (unless someone knows of something better). Any word on whether it will fit?

The heatsink is 160mm tall and the case is 210mm wide - which seems okay but who knows how much they leave in there for the cable management.

Otherwise I guess i will go with a 182..which I think is bigger and uglier - but quieter.

I totally want this case. Looks pretty sweet, will replace my P180b. I used to have a PC-7b and had to drill out the rivits in order to paint the frame, but you can just unscrew this case apart. Looks like you can buy a side panel with a window from a PC-7 and slap it on. I didn't like my PC-7b because it just felt weak, but this combo of aluminum and SECC looks pretty good. Is .8mm think though? I think my P180 uses 1.0mm or atleast part of it does. The only concern I have is with my PCP&C 750. It's a long bugger. If anyone else has one post up your pics! Lets see some awesome wire management!

Here's a decent review: http://www.xsreviews.co.uk/reviews/cases/lancool-metal-boned-k7/1
 
im in the process of getting my wire setup to where i want but its a journey. i need to get a sleeving kit to clean a few sections and re-route some of the stuff.

if i really get the urge to do it then ill end up getting a corsair HX620 modular PSU.
 
Im currently in the process of reworking the wiring. the LED wires are going to be heat shrunk to be neater. I re-routed the PCI-e power cable for my video card. Im also thinking about possibly making a cover of some sort that would cover the whole top section from the 5.25 drive bay's to the power supply rack. It would have to be detachable for when the time comes to do any work that needs to be done and it would have to go with the theme of the case. Also planning on painting the inside of the case black, but this wouldnt happen until I have some free time(vacation from work)
