Here are a few shots from the front of the case. Since the front is plastic, it has a shiny look that really stands out.
Below you can see the LCD temperature display.
Finally, here is a picture of the side panel with the led’s working. Sweet! And a shot of the side panel and front led in the dark. Sweeter!
The case accommodates either AT or ATX boards up to 12″ x 10″. The case is large enough to make installation of a motherboard and all system components a snap. The handle on the removable side panel makes quick work of removal and replacement. The case is very light for those of you interested showcasing it at your next LAN. 7 expansion slots mean you can add almost any accessory card without concern for space. Even though the case comes with a single intake fan on the side and one exhaust (120mm), I was able to keep my case temperatures within 5 degrees of ambient. You can see the temperature inside the case in the picture of the front temperature display.
I was disappointed that the front of the case only had illumination on the display. I was anticipating the white eyes or the red mask to also contain lights. However, this does not detract from the sheer coolness factor. I was anticipating an attractive case and I was not disappointed. Is it on the level of a Lian Li? No, nor is it supposed to be. You won’t get all the bells and whistles, but you also won’t be paying upwards of $100 either. In fact, you can pick up one of these at Xoxide right now for a mere $59.99. If you fancy a slightly different color scheme, this same case is available in silver and blue. Additionally, you can get them with red eyes and a white mask for $19.99. Xoxide doesn’t set out to break any barriers in the options area, but they succeed in providing an inexpensive alternative to the bland beige door stop we have all come to loathe.
Oh, I almost forgot. Kirsten Dunst STILL isn’t going to show up no matter how many you buy.
