nice case... but too pricy > <

Aiyar...space limitation mar...so throw all casing related stuff here lor.

The design is damn interesting lar..if it works...this one you have to report later ler.

On the downside, its not very space efficient hence the rather cramp interior and the minimalist approach...only 2 x 5" bays which is really enough except for the 5" bay bling bling crowd and lotsa HDD bays.

the way the hdd is stacked up...possible to make a mini server?

in terms of airflow wise, should be alright..with all the fans...agree? wont overheat right with that cramped interior..

well it is after all a mATX Casing...
I believe 5.25" bays too many also messy. but it is a design preference i believe for this designer.

IF you look into the URL I posted you will find that THEY have a Test report on this system cooling.. knowing Japanese helps

but google is always very friendly


That is my objective... 2TB in this mATX rig fit for a HTPC and Leech machine for a LanParty

ooo...hehe....can see the electirc bill going up when you switch that thing on..hehe...5 hdd..imagine.. hahaha

bill go up also not that much la. me using 7 HD but separate PSU. will cost a bit more in electric bill. but not till sky rocket.

anyway nice casing, but lousy air flow. the cramp environment, the IDE cables and all the other power cables will intefere with the flow of air. not to mention the noisy fan since they need to push the air harder.

it is indeed the sexiest casing for PC...

but the sleekiest design goes to G5... even after nearly 3 yrs, it's still an eye catcher...

the air-flow for G5 was also quite ingenius i may say. but it's not designed for PC...

so, should i assume that this casing is made-in-japan by the writings in the ad?

but this one has to use mATX mobo, normal 1 cant fit

On the contrary...if you look at it properly....I think this is gonna be one of the quietest casing around. They really paid a lot of considerations into the airflow and accoustic. It's much more complicated than the average case but damn its cool.

These japs are nuts!!

Nice design, but my hardware will not fit into it

There is a Alcadia X1 (Super Mid Tower) and X2 (Standard Mid Tower) for ATX form factor

Yeah "Case and Mods" sounds good. It's more general than "Casing Modification".

i'm the designer lor..wiNdy mah

your wind is different ........CHEE "Wind" hahahahahaha

its design is very interestng and i think quality of the casing is good. no wonder the price is >.< . Hope tat design one casing for normal one de.

normal as in for ATX? which they already do...
the ATX ones are Alcadia X1 and X2


OR

Normal as in same design but not alu... using steel and cheaper materials?

500SGD!? Freaking expensive casing. But quality casing i must say.

design is good, but only one setback from what I can see, lack of 5.25 drive bays, only 2??? definitelt not enough for those ppl with a lot of optical drives

How many optical drives does one needs?

Got the mid tower...of course more ex lor.
