Finally !! someone thought of making an angled case front !!!

I wouldnt say finally. I have seen that same model before a few months ago. What is it about the angled front that makes it better? Is it just for looks?
 
i saw this case while i was browsing newegg's site the other day. looks pretty sweet... but man is it expensive. much too rich for my blood 😛

God thats ugly... Why would anyone want that?

Also, wouldn't you need angled drives, or they would stick out? Or am I just being dumb?
 
I think the black one looks cool. It would be convienient since my tower sits on the floor next to me. If only they weren't $400. The Lian-Li's are a better value IMHO.
 


<< Also, wouldn't you need angled drives, or they would stick out? Or am I just being dumb? >>



The drives are mounted at an angle, so they would be flush with the case's front. Take a closer look at the picture of the red case.

I don't think they look very good, but it would be a little more convienient to access and see the drives if your case sits on the floor.
 


<< Looks like an ugly Star Wars droid :disgust: >>

ROFL 😀
 
Enermax makes great power supplies but their case design team needs to be dragged into the street and shot repeatedly.
 
How is this a good idea? I see no practicality in the design, just a stand out color, slanted front, and wheels. A case designed purely for heat dissipation and silence would be more my type.

The case would be good if a gecko wanted to crawl up the front to sit up top, or if you want to take up more space than you really need.

Maybe I'm wrong, and the case is actually a tuned enclosure that silences noise... or amplify it, hehe
 
I wonder if there are any long-term drive mechanical issues with the mounts being done
slightly off-axis.

Points for novelty, but I think I'd rather have a novel extra 512 MB DDR.
 
It looks like a regular case that was dropped from some great hight! The 5 1/4" drive bays are on a weird, slanted angle. It's got a lot of bays, but the price is atrocious! $400, give me a break!
 


<< Other than looking more like a Dalek what is the advantage to this design? >>



"Thinking Different" lines Enermax's pockets. That's an advantage for them anyways... As for useful benefits, the only advantage I see is the high # of drive bays (room for 6 3.5" drives). Definately not worth the price tho, nor the fact that its butt-ugly!
 
correct me if im wrong but isnt it a bad idea to have opticial drive running at an angle dosent ie mess things up. i heard the should always be parrellel becaus gravity can mess with how there spinning
 
I just got a li lian pc 65 usb case that has 8 3.5 bays. It cost me "only" 180 bucks. Plus, it looks good, whereas that case.....doesn't.
