In no ofence to the reviewer the "Cable mess almost unavoidable" is not the right thing to say ... If you put a bit of time you can hide them away quite easily (Houdini made an Elephant to disappear in the middle of 1000 people
)And by the way who uses IDE HDD and SATA optical drives ??? |

For a general user, this will be too much of a pain to bother with.

Why not just say that it's difficult and the case isn't really designed to aid in cable management? Just my $0.02 ![]() Edit: Anyways, I only glanced over the pictures, but the general design of this case doesn't seem like anything too special imo. Main selling point I guess is supposed to be the SIM. Two nitpicks that stood out right away to me were the pointlessness of the side-fans, and the placement of the w/c holes; I may have missed some, but it looked like there were just two right by the expansion slots. That's nice if you're cooling just your gpu/s, but I think it's more common to cool the cpu or both, if not more.

I really like the looks and the kickstart thing, but i can't find any Ikonik cases in germany

Nice review and the case is nice looking but companies continuing to mount HDDs like that show how short sited their engineers/designers are.
And mounting the small exhaust fans where a lot of people have tons of wiring coming out of their PSs shows another part where their designers missed the boat.
