Been waiting for this to hit the market. Altho the price is less than speculated, still kinda high. Nice styling and features for SFF tho.
Before now the pics for the windowed version haven't been very good and it's a bit dissapointing to see how they didn't flush mount it or at least put a piece of trim around it. Also, If you want the aluminum on the inside and the window, you'd have to mod the silver or black windowless model or buy the windowed panel.
- Only 1 external bay but I don't mind that since I don't need much more than it and a card reader. Already has the faceplate.
- Cooling looks good w/ 4 fans. Room for rad or tall HFS.
- Long vc's and ps fit.
-Enough internal drive bays.

Looking at this one too. It's the same size except 2-3/4 in taller. (18.6")

Tooless pci would be nice (Lian Li snuck a pic in there with it on it) but they're about 60 bucks so not worth it. I like everything else about the inside including being able to remove the top hdd cage if I'm not going to run more than 3 x 3.5" drives.
Pretty sure these windows fit and are fitted to the panel better than the V700. Which window would you get?

Buy the time I buy the window, top fan/grill, card reader and external bay covers to match, the price of the 9F would compare to the V700.
I wouldn't want anything bigger than the 9f.
As you can see, I like simplistic styling. A little bling is ok. Doesn't have to have a brushed finish, black is good. Window - yes. Top fan(s) - yes. I really like the look of the aluminum interior so I may have this narrowed down to the 9f, but I'd certainly like comments/suggestions.
