New Ultra m998 case

[timmet]

Anyone have this case yet? Read one glowing review and it looks like it would be a very good gamer. Thanks in advance for any replies.

That looks great! That powerboard thing is also quite the nifty idea! Might get one just to check it out...

I do think it is a good looking case in an understated way, and the "power bar" seems like a very good feature to help keep the case tidy. It appears to be just what I'm looking for; price OK, big space for a larger PSU, deep enough for big video cards, removable MB tray, cleanable filter, eSATA on the front, and I don't need all the bays that a full tower has. I would like to read a couple more reviews or posts from users before jumping.

Where are the pics?

 

[timmet]

Didn't post any pics but the one review I've read is at "Velocity Reviews" and I found it for sale at Tiger Direct for $169.

Looks very heavy and chunky. Not sleek enough for me.

Overclockers.com Reviews the m998

LOTS of pics, and they pretty much take the thing completely apart.

that case looks decent, nice removable mobo tray too

This case looks just like an AKASA case. Not popular here in the states but overseas its huge.

AHHHH....I was just thinking that if I were to make a case (and I hope to someday) that I would but front PCI brackets in for easy configuration changes. OH well that wasn't my only good idea. Until I build my case though I may have to buy one of these.

AKASA:

identical?

AKASA:

identical?

That is strange and there are many explanations

1. Ether of the companies may have leased the design to the other.

2. They may be the same company with different names for one reason or another

3. They may be two fronts for a bigger company

4. One of the companies may have stolen the design from the other. This practice is rampant in East Asia where companies will reverse engineer whatever they think will make the most money.

This looks identical to an Akasa Eclipse case, which was released like 3 year ago.
