Neo Classic is an oxymoron. It doesn't look all that special, the lower bay is kind of neat but I'm not sure who'd need to use it, and an external IDE port is kind of useless.

There are plenty of cases that would be just as good. The extras on this one really aren't compelling unless the price isn't higher than regular cases.

The link "board" at the top is for a forum, you would probably get an answer there.

I don't know, Evermore... that's a pretty classy looking case, IMO. It's refreshing to see something without flashing lights, cutout windows, and fans like a small hovercraft every now and then. If the price were decent, I'd love to have a case like that when I'm building machines for "grown-ups" who have a nice residence, but don't want something out of star trek. And while they probably wouldn't use an extra IDE port, it would make hooking up a backup hard drive easier for me. Though USB 2.0 is really the better option, there.

I wouldn't mind seeing these in the channels.

nice clean design. window option would be nice. door would be nice as any optical drive will automatically ruin the clean front design, esp a floppy. antivibration pad on top probably helps. i took the acoustic foam out of the top of my case today to cut a blow hole, difference is noticable. low speed fans good, fan mounts are decent.

i do want some of that silicon coating stuff, anti vibration is good:) nice and silent.

IMO, I like how that case looks. Yeah, that silicon absorption material for vibrations might make a difference. Should be cool.

Just get a tube of silicone caulk and make some rings with it. :) There are plenty of cases with plain designs rather than the flashy stuff.

Looks like a good case. Very classy, very sleek. Nice options.

Good too see something with no widows or flashing lights. I'll keep my S-201 though, thanks. :D

it has 4 total fans, prolly 2 in, 2 out.

very basic looking, not bad. the vibration could work nicely. on of those in aluminum would be SWEET.

Yes, there are two fans. Two side-by-side in front of the detachable drive cage and two more in the normal spot next to the motherboard.

But the power and IDE connector is something new. If you?re testing a hard drive or CD drive you can simply plug it into the front of your PC rather than taking the side off, screwing it in, etc.

I *love* this idea!!! In fact, this has inspired me to make one for my case.
