A certain not to be named review site has their video review up. I think it's a seriously nice case. Tons of cool features that most of cases don't have. Lighting controls and SD card slot are clever. Lots of water cooling options or lots of big fans if you air-cool. I like it!
 
That is a beautiful case, although not entirely my style. It seems to mesh an aggressive style with clean looks.

At that price though, I would expect it to have a platform above the PSU.
 
I went and checked all the reviews that are popping up - seems to be about half a dozen so far. It seems to be very good at cooling and noise levels are acceptable - but I can't help but feel let down.

The Switch 810 (IMHO) is a much cleaner style, this new Phantom with the chrome buttons and funky unfinshed-looking "foot" at the bottom front rubs me the wrong way. I don't like the mesh and window mix on the side panel either and it has too many lights. From every angle except head-on it has an overabundance of angles.

So - it's functional yet freaky, that's my personal take on it. I'd rather spend the $70 extra on top-quality fans for the Switch.

That said, I will be interested in seeing some gallery shots of it in matte black - I think it may look better in that color. It might tone down the overall weirdness!
