yea no doubt, have been reading up on it since this thread, I have mixed feelings on it. Looks tight, just the whole HAF design with the ridged corners and stuff , and can you get a push pull with a standard rad in the front, hard to tell with the pics.

Don't thnk it can pass as a tech bench as they state as it would be a bitch pouring into as the flask would hit the edges being 7.25" deep

a 200mm rad up top would be epic as well though and like the hotswap drive set up in front

If you grab it hope you do a build log to reaaly show what works and what doesn't with this new design, kida an old desk top case with a lower deck so to speak .......

I've been looking at the new HAF for awhile now, but the potential downside I see is that it says it fits mini, micro, and standard ATX mobos. None of mine fit any of those descriptions so I'd have to buy a new board too.

I'm kind of leaning towards this case to build a gamer for sale

Lots of air cooling and water cooling possibilities

just have to wait for it to go on sale the mobo tray flips over to normal ATX and the side panels are interchangeable, so it's very versatile.

Bought an Azza once, It was a hunk of shit, can't speak to the linked one, but if their quality is the same across the line just say no, not to mention that thing prolly wieghs a ton, this is a decent buget gaming case with good build quality

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811139009

Plus the one I linked above at 25% off is a steal for a full aluminum chassis

Although My next grinder build will be in Godzilla if it ever gets released

I've looked real closely at that one a couple times, thinking I want more fannage though cause I may not water the cards. Also, want it big cause it may house my X79
