this thing is just absolutely ugly. even from a modders standpoint, it has very little aesthetic value.

plus, there is ZERO proof that it will help with the heat problems.



from what i see, i don't see how removing the current air vent and two 80mm fans and replacing it with a larger aluminum air vent and just having a large 120mm fan blow in/out will improve heat issues

also, the USB ports and memory card ports seem to be way too far away from the front panel, i don't know wat lianli is thinking. this is just some cheap unscrupulous product to cash in on the 3rod situation if you ask me.


the ONLY advantages i can see at the moment is the dvd drive placement with minimal sound proofing that *might* lower noise issues. But then again, the front panel is going for the Mac Pro look, so putting two small foam panels on the dvd drive seems pointless again.

taking water-cooling into consideration, again, the casing is just too small to have proper tubing and a decent sized reservoir to be fitted into it.



edit: One more thing:


where the hell is out external hard disk suppose to go???


2nd edit:

even IF there was a place to place the HDD, it would look completely out of place with the remaining black casing
