This is what I think is my current "dream case".

8 expansion slots, 5 fans stock, top HDD docking bay, USB3.0 front-panel connector, floppy bay, tool-less everything, the works. Plus with a side window.

Someone else also discovered this case, the thread is here:

I will post pics once I have the case in hand, probably by monday or tuesday.

It sure is ugly.

Nah joking, it looks alright. Nice value for money.

I should note that the version I received, was NOT the version pictured at Newegg's site.

The one in the Newegg pictures, has a SINGLE USB3 port, which is terminated in a external USB3 cable.

The one I received, has TWO USB3 ports, and terminates in a 20-pin header connector. Which of course will NOT fit the USB3 card that I ordered, that has one internal socket that is like an external socket, that I planned to use with this case. Sigh.

Looking for a different case myself the Blackhawk caught my eye. But looks too much like the CM 690 and a side window is a no-no this time around. The Corsair 500R I really like. The 400R and Fractal Design Arc Midi I also like.
