Oh well. Blue still looks nice though....

llooks better imho, the black finish of chenming is kinda tacky.

Hey guys, I bought the blue aluminum version when it was still availabe for $50 shipped including tax and shipping. Anyways I just got time to use it, but can only find 4 5.25 drive rails, this case can take up to 4 5.25 drives (need 8 drive rails). I am just wondering if you guys got 8 rails or only 4, if only 4, where can I buy 4 more? Thanks

When I needed some of these rails, I posted in the FS forum, and got a ton of replies. Also, they are available from the antec website.

Or check your local PC shop... Heck, they may even just give you a few.

I have a black steel Antec (HEAVY) and my roomate has a blue aluminum clone. These cases are easy to work with (rails, easily removeable 3.5" trays), however I must say I've been less than impressed with the airflow. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong?

Try more fans or stronger fans. If you're measuring airflow by the temperature in your case, maybe the temperature outside is too hot already. Summer is coming!

I have a cheiftec in black. They have good air flow. Space for 2 80s in the front and 2 80s/the power supply in the back. If that is not enough, you could always add a window fan or blow hole.

I am adding a top Blowhole on my blue aluminum one 😀

And thanks guys for the reply on the drive rails 😀

FWIW, these are not actually the "Full Towers". They are a larger mid-tower, but Cheiftec et al makes a full tower that's just the same except 6 5.25 bays on top, but also more room above power supply for (another power supply or radiator, whatever you wanna do with the space). EXAMPLE
