Well, it comes apart which can be great for modding. I'd want a third fan for it I think. Either a side intake fan or a top exhaust fan. Just to increase its cooling efficiency. But thats just me. I wonder what it costs?

The Global Win is $99. +sh per the computernerd link in the OP. The only other case that has a mobo drawer w/ a 120mm fan in it is the Temjin 9... The case comes in black too per the other site I found that carries the GW at about twice the price.

The Eclipse has been a geek iconic case for several years. but we've not been able to get it here in the States on any consistent basis. So the GW is as close as there is. I'm quite happy with my Rosewill R5604 but there have been many others wanting the Eclipse, so this is mainly for them. But there are other reasons that folks might consider this case as well. It'll take 8800GTX cards with room to spare - tall HSFs, no problem. And it meets all but one of my major Casitude creteria (doesn't isolate the HDDs - but the whole HDD cage is removeable so you could isolate the cage if you want). Not to mention that it's the only big, heavy aluminum case available here for under $100. So it's worth a little attention, don't you think?

I've heard that Ultra will start selling this case in the next month or so. The product has already been announced. What I don't know is how much it will cost or if it will have any tweaks. Yankee might know more.
