Anybody have this one? After looking at over a hundred cases on the egg, I think this one is far and away the sweetest looking. I currently have an older coolermaster (cavalier 3) that I've modded to add additional fans, replaced all the stock ones, etc., and I have trouble believing that my temps would be as good in this new one if I took the plunge.

I saw this case today but after carefully examing this case I relaized this case does not have front panel for USB/Firewire my motherboard has 4 USB 2.0 in the back and 2 more on the front so I use front usb for gamepad and digital camera pic transfer and also USB Flash Drive. so I don't want to reach on the back to plug in USB devices.

It looks like the Audio/USB/Firewire ports are on the top front of the case in the pictures. They're to the right of the power/reset button when facing the case.

Exactly. And they sure are nice looking on top of the case... it might be weird having wires cascading down from it though.

Yeah, that's a good deal if you can't afford one of the all-aluminum versions - or just like steel better. Steel is better at containing noise, but the case is much heavier. http://www.svc.com has the all-aluminum versions on sale right now too: http://www.svc.com/aluminumtowercases.html .
And the original Mystique, the 631, is all-aluminum at an even better price 'til the end of the month (AR).

I had that case, its sturdy and heavy for containing noise but the front mesh doesnt really help on that now does it. I got rid of it cause I wanted a smaller one, but I would have kept it if I didnt need to move my computer around often.
