I think the thing is awesome. I’ve always wanted a way to build an open PC and hang it on the wall over my desk with all of the different components set apart on something like a big plaque. This thing is similar to HighSpeedPC’s HSPC Tech Station shown here…

OMG that is such a freaking AWESOME CASE!!! I’d convert it to a liquid cooled case and make the fans spin at an ultra low speed with LED’s. DAMN why couldn’t they make it sooner???

That’s actually a really good point. Hopefully with the open-air nature of the case you can add in whatever you need to without that top fan getting in the way.

One thing is does the big honkin’ fan come off, your average extreme overclocking arsenal has to be liquid cooling. Or for the more hardcore, liquid nitrogen.

It will get dusty, but I can see it used as wall art or a radiator for the winter time.

Wall Art!

Efficient Heat Release!

Wireless a Must!

Personally, I think it looks kind of cool, though at first glance it does look like it has a large foot print.

I’m not sure if this is what they were going for or not, but I think the true strength of this case is as a test and prototyping platform, since it looks like it will be really easy to get parts in and out.

I wonder how much it will cost? I could see getting one for prototyping systems if it’s not too expensive.

I’m with Randy. If this case doesn’t end up sucking, I might spring for it or one similar (if there are any by the time I need a new case). But yes, it does look crazy. I like crazy.

I think that it’s good looking. Think about how generic cases have gotten over the decades. At least this one is taking it in a different direction. I am going to build a PC soon, and I do believe I’ll buy one.
