Why would anyone want their connects on the top front of the case, that's going to look nice!

Silly things like that can ruin a case, no matter how good it is. Doesn't the Antec P180 (I think) have a revolving I/O on top though? I think the Antec get's away with it.
My Shuttle has a similar problem, having them on the front. With various bits and bobs plugged in, it looks like it's up-chucking spaghetti.


Who's Rodney?

Personal preference I guess. But for a anniversary design they should have stuck to doing something that looks boxy and boring like their other cases.
I don't like their designs. Great build quality, finish, design. They just look very dull. I mean, a peice of silver aluminium on the front of the PC case only has so many bits of dust on it.
I don't care if my Aerocool is moulded plastic. It is a far more adventurous but still good looking design, and since when was plastic bad? And it cost £40.

HAHAHAHAHAHA AHHAHAH...... HAHAHAHAHH HEHE HA.......lmao i thought my $30 cheiftec case was bad

why build some thing like that the airflow sucks they if the floe started in the center of the case with an intake duct on the side and exhaust where the cd-roms are located the flow waould have been 1000x better!

what...the f'....is that?! That is never a PC case! It has to be something from sony, well take the PS3 for example!

And i thought ebuyer cases looked cheap! Some parts of that design are ok, like the front 'grill' near the bottom on the front of the case, but that's it. Shall i do a caricature of rodney's fat head! Or one of the case! Place your votes, now!

....

....

....

The results are in! 93% of you voted for me to do a caricature of rodney's plastic surgery smile!

OK now I am getting Paranoid. It has some general similarities to WeldZilla 3 "Domination By Design"
Just some general similarities. I will show them what they should have built!! I just wonder if they are scanning my mind? I better get my new case done before someone else stumbles onto it.
