I want them to release a smaller one, maybe without the removable HDD feature. Same dimensions as the Antec 300 would be ideal!
Nice review.

Damn you TPU, why review now, I just sent one back this week lol, now I will have to read this thinking, I had that and let it go.
Well you know the saying, If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it's yours. If it doesn't, it never was. Hmmm watch this space ?? ![]() P.S. Case is monstrousley huge!!!!

+1 to a midtower version.
Good review. I would love for this case to have stealthed optical drives. I think the not-pure-black DVD drives in the front kinda kills the look. Otherwise, this is pretty sweet. ![]() |

I Want this and want to sell my truck for it. HA HA! I love my HAF as it does a few things better than this one. For one, its locking slides for ODDs, etc is really good. Also, I think the Airflow is a bit better with the bigger fans and a bit quieter too boot, even though you can put a rad up top as well. One thing I like about the obsidian 800d is that you can freely leave the cables behind the mobo tray with no problems. I love my HAF but I need more room behind the mobo tray.
Love the review DS, best one yet.

Sorry, there was a slight misunderstanding in the review. The front of the case is aluminum, the chassis is steel. Due to the paint job it is really hard to tell them apart, and the chassis is fairly light considering the materials used.

I have to agree with another review's view that this case is near the best available high end commercial case available without steping into the eliet/custom section(ie ABS or Mountain Mods).
I love mine ![]() |

It's an amazing case, I'd love to have it but it's too big, I hope they make a smaller version.

Nooffense intended here, but why take an amazing case that is super simple to use, work in, and hide stuff, and squash it all down. Most of the features would be too packed in to make the case a pleasure to have. Using one longterm wil show you what I mean, it's just something you can't get from the pics.
Also I agree with Don here.... a) if I took mine to a LAN first guy to touch it looses a hand, I'm sure that should discourage the rest. b) I wouldnt want to carry mine even to the car. I built this on the first floor and had to run it up a flight of steps. That's enough moving for me ![]() c) did I mention people loosing body parts ![]()
