Yeah I have a 470 and it's gone from a 900 to a Thermaltake to a 690 II and finally to my FT02, and it's amazing how much cooler and quieter it runs.

I was pretty impressed with the drop in temps that I saw when I moved from my Antec 1200 to an FT-02. The FT-02 was also much better for cable management but that isn't really saying much. I have to admit that one of the few things that I did not like about the FT-02 is that a little more room behind the motherboard tray would be nice.

They need to have a FT-03 that's a bit longer and taller to take SR-2 sized boards! :D

Almost any case can have wire management.
You just need planning.

But be sure to note if your front side looks all clean like this:

There always needs to be a back side hiding this:

ERRr Thats a Nils production... and Nils is just insane for his quality of work.

:p

And no u cant buy that case, as even tho the shell is OEM, he mods the hell out of it internally to butfungulo and back to make it jaw dropping.

My box doesn't look anywhere that pretty, but I actually feel better about the hours I've spent obsessively cleaning up cabling having seen it. (Something to aim for, too.)

What about the NZXT Phantom? It has the rubber holes like the 800D but for a lot less money.

The problem with boutique builds is by the time they are finished the hardware within is obsolete! :D
