Wow, that is the most horribly overpriced I've seen in a long time.
I'm happy with my P182SE (which, for the record, also has 6 HDD bays), thanks. Looks a hell of a lot better too (mirrored finish = hawt).

See now that just wouldn't work for me. Oddly here in NY its 100 degrees and I have the side panel off the 800D with the air conditioner blowing right on her. So I can't even use the neat wire freak excuse ATM.
Prolly looks better in reality. I'd check one of the new ones out before I rejected the idea entirely if I were you.
But then I'm pretty partial to my raven in the picture there.
All the cabling, barring the power cable, comes out the back there at the top. Bundled it all together inside of one of them plastic things for routing cabling and now it sort of looks like a spine, I think.
If you remove the lid all the connectors are still easily accessible as well.
At any rate the raven brought my temps down by a fair few degrees. The mobo flip really improved on the airflow. Dunno how much you gain with a wc setup, though.
The new chassis does everything the raven does, only with a slightly better interior design and more room, as far as I understand it.

Don't get me wrong I love what you did there bud. I think I am actually having air flow issues with the WC setup. It is hot here the past few days (100°) but still I have to keep my side panel off to keep her in a comfortable range. When I save up a few bucks and before I get a new vid card, I may just opt for a bigger rad all together. Not sure if you've seen my custom GPU cooler but as it turns out the card still needs a decent airflow to cool well.
What's wrong with this one?
Funny thing is this industrial piece of metal is an actual case, not a cad designer on acid (GMC R4 Bulldozer).

Was that supposed to make some semblance of sense?
Apparently not. It's a behemoth case for a fraction of the price.

i think i like the GMC design more than silverstone
