| well, it gives off the image that it is not, however, with the close proximity of the drivecage to the motherboard, you cannot deny that it is far too small for any current "high-end" system. it'e too cramped for decent airflow, and with a large videocard, this is made even worse by the arrangemet of the side fan. My kv8-pro...was perfect...but it's about 2 inches less wide than any other motherboard. the tsunami belies it's real size becasue it's SO DAMN WIDE., but that wideness itself makes it hard for my 7800gtx to get fresh air. so i am caseless, until i find a big enough case.

| My Vid card is AGP so no adaptor there. The drive bay hot swaps were removed never did like those tool less things anyway. The thermaltake logo was painted with glow in the dark fabric paint LOL. As far as the bay positioning I don't have much choice but to put everything up top as I am running 2 120mm fans in the front instead of just the 1.

| Lol i just dont have the time to tidy it up :P Aquagate runs well...on low fan speed it does about the same as a high end air cooler on max. E.G. Thermaltake bettle @ 4000RPM...and is silent at that speed. Low - 32c Medium - 28c High - 24c So not bad really...Took me time to get a replacement tho, my first one beeped at me like id asked it to build itself.
