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
