Introduction

Peer pressure is a terrible thing. Many of our first experiences of this start at school friends dares, the latest shoes and clothing crazes. We have all felt the pressure to choose the same as our friends. It doesnt stop there, even with PC purchases we can find ourselves following the pack and buying the easy choice, even if it is on a subconcious level rather than just being lazy.

For those brave enough to stand out from the crowd or even be bothered to seek out something unique it is actually surprising what a quick Google and an open mind can turn up.

looks like a decent case to me, though it has to be for the price if it wants to be competing with the bigboys ;-)

Not love at first sight for me either. It seems to deliver a lot of nice features for the money though, however garish.

the case is not ugly......its just different, not a case i would buy but its cooling is impressive and it has black internals soo not all bad!
hopefully they will do a nice flat front with no goofy handles etc.

A 240 rad would fit in the top easy. Really nice to see that they have taken noise into account when designing a high airflow case. Its just the front of the case that may not be to everyone likings. Nice review Tom. +++

those handles are a bit on the funky side, i agree. my guess is if u could remove them easily it would improve its overall reception...
me i dont mind them too much.

I saw this case not too long ago and forgot the name. All I could remember was it had green handles on the front. Thanks for the reminder and the review. :)
