anyone have a aopen hqo8 case?

I like it. Needs to have a little modding done to get to its full potential. The hole between the top and bottom sections needs to be opened up and I opened the fan holes on mine. 2 80mm in back and a 120mm up front.
 
I have a HX08 in my possesion which is the same case inside but with a different look on the outside ( IMHO the HX08 is more "clean" and better looking but that's just me 😉

It's a good and cheap case but as said above it needs some modding to improve airflow. I have removed the grills from all of the fan holes and added another 80 mm hole in the front. I have also made a mounting bracket for a 80 mm fan blowing diagonal from the intake fans towards the cpu.
Also it will be a good idea to make the hole between the top and bottom section a little bigger. Just be sure that you still have suffecient strength in the case.
 
I've got an Antec KS-188, which again, has identical guts, just difference bezel.

It's a good case, but there are better cases out there now. What I've done is put in a 120 up front, and then two 60's in back.
