The grill doubles as a window I guess. The case design is actually the same tried and true design Chieftec has been using for years. The only real variation I know of is the front is no longer plastic, but aluminum as well. Strange since for years, about a dozen companies have rebadged the same case, and always went for a custom PLASTIC bezel until now.

I saw it on newegg for over $150.

I had to goto PC Club today to get some things for the new HC I have to work on (512 Compact Flash, card reader, and extended USB cable) and I was looking at the cases and saw this one. A little pricy but a very nice case non the less. It was $149 (umm I think) with no PS!!! Still a very nice case. Pick it up and hook it up!!!

I am getting one on friday....i cannot wait...lots of space above the psu....the "window" is fairly large, and will allow a vid card and cpu heatsink to be seen on a fullsize board...but the "window" is not really a window...once i pick mine up i'll throw up some pics of it.

The good thing about the metal grill window is that it has some EMI shielding value and allows air flow. So, in some ways it is better than clear acrylic.

The newer models use a 120mm fan in the back.
