Noone seen it? It looks like it might be something.

Anyone spot any problems right away? Noise escaping from the front could be one. Possibility for HD suspension is also a questionmark. The huge HD tray seems fixed.

The case is the first Antec case for a long time that doesnt use any form of silencing on the HDD mounting, you would either have to mod the 3.5" bays or, mount your HDD's in 5.25" bays suspended, but they would then need some form of cooling.

There are plenty of much better cases out there, most of them are from Antec. This is a poor choice from a noise perspective - avoid.

It also looks pretty ugly; saw one at Fry's for 50 bucks.

An all-5.25" version could have made it a very nice budget case.

PSU is bottom-mounted in this case but there's no holes under the PSU so you'll have to flip the PSU over thus effectively rendering the bottom-mount useless.

Yep. Like the ninehundred you mean? I guess its automatically higher cost for such features. You know any other cases that are like that? Looks like Coolermaster Cosmos S is one of them.

Hmm? Not sure what you mean. Hot air rises. I thought the point was to prevent hot air pockets forming around the top of the case.
