Pretty ugly case if you ask me 😛

I kinda like the way it looks, but the smaller fans on the front could be a deal breaker to me

I agree with Spaiker, looks stooopid.

I don't like the looks, build quality is not good enough for me and as clamatowas said the 92mm front fans is just stupid. Could be worse though.

What exactly is that "Hard Drive Docking station"?
It looks really helpful.

External hot swap bay.

Internal is sure is pretty nice.

I like it for the top hard drive docking station. I have tons of hard drives laying around, and being able to swap them out like that would be nice.

Yeah I was gonna say, that seems really handy, I would love that.
More companies should think of doing that.

Hot swap bays have been around for a while, but having them exposed on top like that is a bit more rare. The Antec Dark Fleet series have one on top like that, but they're not good cases. The CM 690 II Advanced has one on top too.

Yeah that's two cases. I was thinking a bit broader than that.

Antec Dark Fleet is a series. So that's 4 cases that I just listed, when you asked for companies to use that feature. We'll see more Cooler Master cases with it. But personally I don't care for external hot swap bays like that. Less secure. I do like this design. 🙂

+1 for that design. Much easier to clean than how I currently have my Armor lol. Methinks it's about time for an upgrade.

Too bad that case is $350 (ABS Tigas).
