Ye, hopefully ill be reviewing that case soon. Thing is, the unconventionel placing of the PSU might impose problems on the vidcards you put in there. Otherwise it look's good, and should offer good cooling with those 190mm-fans.

it looks nice and fat, with some of the gynormous ass coolers coming out this might be a good thing. I thought the Cosmos I wanted to get would hold any cooler but apparently the V8 a hair too big for it. This case looks pretty nice, I know PC Club up the street had a couple NZXT on display and they typically looked like borderline monstrosities. Too many colors, too many edges, just too much going on.

Looking at the rest of the pictures, it's not only fat it's short too lol.

Definitely...by some unscientific calculation I did, just by the pictures provided there and some other sites, it looks like there would only be about 15mm of space between the video card and the PSU.

I was looking at using a watercooled 4870 with that case but the FC block needed about 17mm of space.

This is almost the perfect case for me...BUT it would be better if the motherboard was upside down (just for me) since it's easier to work with CPU watercooling than video watercooling. However, this would prevent some of the large CPU aircoolers being used by others. My Lian Li is very good but after moving the 2x120 rad to the top of the case, I lost some USB ports, and 1 of the 2 5.25inch bays which I need for the Hd-DVD drive I have.

Where's are review? :laugh:
I wouldn't want to stuff any added water cooling crap into this case. But it looks like a good candidate for a moderate OC'd C2D or C2Q.
Even with the PS mounted on the side, the width is only 9.6".
