Yummilicious stacker...

Kinda ugly imho, but thats a subjective thing.

Objectively, the Harddrive bay ventilation holes are way too restrictive. They should have used hex punch outs instead of the old school tiny little dot holes.
 
Well, I do have my gripes with the P180 (I can't move the mobo standoffs? what?!) but the fact that I can pull the HD bays, have drive rails, 120 mm fans, a seperated PSU area (which is a little too cramped...even for normal sized antec PSUs!) and all the rubber grommets for mounting stuff....from my CM Praetorian, the P180 is a HUGE improvement...I miss the mobo tray, but the P180 is quite speacious, so it isn't needed as badly...and that plastic shroud is too bulky...it gets in the way of cables, and doesn't seem to have an effect...but I still love it. For $100, it was a VERY good buy.

Like I said, the removable filters are a very good +, and CM never understood how to use a good filter...instead the put in a small metal mesh that really restricts air, and then add foam that you cannot remove to wash, that FURTHER restricts air...I won't be buying any CM cases again until they learn a few engineering ideas...
 
I think this might be my next case. Space is really all I need for cooling. Of course, the fans help.
 
Duct tape two together side by side and you'd have a friggin Borg cube for a computer... All your data are belong to me... Resistance is futile!
 
Monarch announced today they got a CM 830 in for evaluation. Something they do before offering it for sale. Hopefully this means that CM is going to hold to the January release date. Personally I like the new redesigned look. Hopefully performance will match or exceed the hype.
