looks really good. How much do you think it'll be?

The tentative SRP according to Phanteks is US$ 250 which translates to about RM 799. Some further improvements will be made before delivery.

build looks good. too bad product still so new http://www.phanteks.com/

don't even have product specs.

It's not finalized. I've provided some pointers in adding some stuff to address some issues. These should appear in the final production. Phanteks is a company that does not want to rush things. You can tell that the team has spent a lot of time designing this casing. They claimed best cooler with the TC-14PE and unique color theme. They want to do the same with this casing and at the same time not breaking consumer's bank. When I heard that SRP is around 250USD, I was shocked..

nice,but i personally prefer the hdd rack to face the left side(see thru panel) instead of the right(back panel) of the casing for easy access..

Window on the left side and the 5.25" bay cover opens that direction as well... to me that limits the chassis to be placed on the left side of my table.. might as well be rid of it

Did you mean like this?

yep,love the rig,i also like a spacious back panel as cable management is very important for me,im currently using cm 430 and the back panel space is realy tight so i had to hide the cable under the hdd cage..kinda ugly when you open up the side panel to manage/clean the interior

Aha, you are a victim and a misguided end user. Worry not, many actually are.

Hdd cages first came in sideways but someone figured that you can save spaces rotating the hdd 90 degree.

So began evolution of the hdd bay #1.

Early variation of this layout had the hdd connector facing outwards. Easy access of the hdds. But then someone decided that it looks better with the hdd bay rotated the other way round so you won't see the clutter.

And so evolution of hdd bay #2 began. This design is commonly adapted. Two variation exist. One with the tray pulls out on the left panel, another with the tray on the right. Honestly speaking both are not very convenient and here is why...

Hdd connectors are on the rear (right panel) following current hdd layout. Regardless of how tooless and how easily accessible manufacturers made you think you still need to open the right panel to remove the panels and then open the left panel to pull out the hdd from the tray. (Most never thought of this because most assemble pc once and that's all. For those who build system and had to service pcs for a living, we noticed this some time ago.

So with the Enthoo Primo, if you want to remove the hdd, you open the right panel aka service side and you can do anything without touching the cosmetic side (left)

I do not remember who adapted this design first but LDPC uses the same design. Then then NZXT Phantom 820 also uses the same design.

One very notable feature this casing has is that everything is secured with SCREWS and NOT Rivets. You can dismantle the whole casing with a screw driver for modding and no need to drill anything out.

Great information there,thanks,in my case i leave the sata cables connected to the hdd lose, so i can pull the hdd out from the left side and the sata cable will just come along the hdd until i can see the end to disconnect it along with the power cable on the hdd.

Yup, figured. But if you have a tightly or fully populated bay then you cannot install the hdd back after removing it unless you have an extreme slack of sata and power cable there which means cable management is compromised.

that was the problem i encountered at first, took me a long time to figure out how the slack the power cables, the sata cable on the other hand was cake as it is easy to manage (more flexible) as compared to the power cable, the problem im facing now is that my power supple only gives 6 power cable for hdd and other stuff, so 2 are used for dvd driver and the other 4 are used for 1ssd and 3hdd, but they are split power cable so now i cant pull out 1 hdd without pulling out the other.
