    I own one, my bro owns one. What can I say, they're great cases, the best in fact I've ever had. Great quality, great looks, great design. If price is no object, then there is no reason not to get one.

    Thumbs up from this corner! :thumbsup:

    3 80mm fans... :wtf: eww.

    I'd be happier with, say... 5 or more...

    Best 80mm fan on the market is the Thermaltake SmartFan2. They flow 75cfm @ full speed, but can be manually or thermally controlled. Their thermal control function is superior to other thermally controlled fans for three reasons:
    1- the thermistor is small, flat, and uses thin wires, so it can be placed next to the CPU core, or in other tight spots that most of the thermistors thermally controlled fans use cannot

    2- the fan speed vs. temperature curve for the SmartFan2 is far more realistic than any other thermally controlled fan

    3- it actually pushes a good amount of air at full speed, which all other thermally controlled fans, save for the Vantec Thermoflow, don't do

    How loud is it?

    it varies with speed. At full speed, it's fairly loud. But I have yet to have mine reach anything close to full speed, and I've got 5 of them in an Antec SX1240 full tower, along with a 92mm Zalman. I also have a smartfan2 on the CPU heatsink (SLK-900A). None of the 6 have ever reached anything like full speed, and my CPU stays <120*F under load, even @ 2.5GHz (it's an 1800+).

    It's audible, but it's not annoying by any means.

    For $2.00 more I got this case and it has much better cooling potential, built like Fort Knox and looks great!
