Very nice looking case. I've never heard of the brand before. Really does look awesome! No place to buy in the states?

It should look like a HAF, because bitfenix is almost entirely made up off ex coolermaster designers.

And besides they're not actually brining anything new to the market. Let's see some 90 degree watercooling optimised cases.

2, 230 mm fans and 3, 140mm fans, should be about the same as the HAF?
The case is not for me, lol, plastic is only meant for dildos, and has no place on PC cases IMHO. but i am just posting news! Big%20Smile

yea i tried to look at the pictures to understand the airflow, but i only saw the front top and rear exhaust, sides look locked up to me
im waiting for case designs to improve still, i feel like depending on a 140mm rear exhaust is pretty weak, i definitely think this is the weakest part of the haf cooling, and can feel the air getting stuck there on the exhaust side of the noctua
 
i agree on the material too, plastic will definitely not dissapate as well, even if it is nice and shiney :)

yea top exhaust, i havent decided how i feel yet about top and rear exhaust being so close like that, seems to me the case needs to pick either or .. .i feel like both just causes air confusion when you need a straight stream going through the heatsink
