*HOT* Gigabyte 3D Aurora Aluminum Case

I'm a simplistic person. Think the chassis is nice. But, they went rice with the blue led fans. I still adore the beige chassis from Addtronics.
That case has a ton of nice features. I like how they made the case water cooling friendly. It would make the use of the Zalman resorator easy with the built in holes to accommodate the tubing. One thing I didn't see in the article was the projected price of the case. I'll bet it will be in the $200 range easily.
Not a bad looking case. Personally I'm not into the LED lights but thats just me. I'd prefer a nice side fan instead of the vent mesh. All in all though its not bad. I think there is better though. Just depends on what you want to do and what your tastes are.
Iv got the black version of it and i love it. Its got great cooling, and i think it looks nice to. Ofcourse thats just a matter of personal taste 
Its priceed pretty well for what its got IMO. Nice solid construction too, the side door mechanism could be a little bit better, but atleast theres no plastic clips. Iv build a few p180's for friends and was considering gettign one myself but i think the build quality on these is better.
It'd be great for a gamer who goes to lans but doesnt want to have something thats really tacky. Its pretty light too since its aluminium.

The buldge is good and bad. It looks strange from the side, but it looks good from the front IMO.
no, it has not "clear side windows, but you can see through the perforated side pretty easily anyway. I think that sort of opening is better anyway, atleast it acts as another air intake. That, along with the two read 120mm exhausts work pretty effectivly. My 7800gtx oc'd editon with stock cooling peaks at about 58-60 degrees when playing BF2...so there are pretty good options as far as cooling goes. I do think the hard drive cage could have been designed a bit better though, because those tiny holes dont let much air in to cool the drives. Iv got p120's
, so this isnt a big issue, but you wouldnt wanna put scsi drives in there!Yeah, but DAMN you will get a lot of dust in that thing. I don't like mesh screens for that reason, because you get all the dust in the case pulled through that mesh.

That case is gigantic, kind of makes me wish they made it in steel, i don't think you'll be moving that thing anywhere.

There are two versions, those with the clear side window, and those with the honeycomb mesh side panel.

Looks cool, but no removable mobo tray? Not the best one around then, I'm sorry... BTW I just love my ThermalTake Shark, although this one looks almost as nice...
