yeah I think this case is more important as a "showcase design" for what can be achieved (in terms of looks) in the future. I'm sure a great looking case like this can be built whith the consideration of the air flow and cooling dynamics that required in todays systems.
Heres is the article for that case from
www.pcpoweruser.com
As you can see it has watercooling and everything you could want to keep your system cool.
And the specs are first rate on everything else.
While many modders blend form and function when building their PCs, Nick “Green Sabbath” Falzone also strove for another combination of disparate concepts. “I felt this case to be the ultimate fusion of technology and tradition,” says Falzone. Thus was born the Yuugou, a Japanese name that translates to “fusion.”
To that end, Falzone relied on a mix of traditional and high-tech tools and chose both wood and aluminum for the Yuugou’s frame. When working with the system’s Koa and maple portions, Falzone shied away from newer equipment and techniques. “There is absolutely no glue in any of the wood pieces, and I can take every part of the wood apart if I wanted to,” Falzone tells us. “Everything is held in with custom-designed joints that I cut out using my Japanese hand tools.”
Falzone swapped his traditional tools with an end mill when he began work on Yuugou’s metal parts, which include the interior panels. He opted for 3/16-inch aluminum alloy 5052, which is a tough, corrosion-resistant aluminum that often appears in equipment for marine use. After milling the panels and other parts, Falzone had the fans, panels, and several pieces of metal mesh powder-coated.
The Yuugou includes several fans, as well as a watercooling system that handles the graphics card and the CPU. Falzone built the large, Hardware Labs Black Ice GT Xtreme 360 Radiator, which uses three 120mm fans, into the bottom of the case.
A case of this caliber ought to house a decent PC, so Falzone stocked the Yuugou with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 CPU, an Asus P5N32-E SLI 680i motherboard, 4GB of Corsair Dominator DDR2-1066 memory, a BFG 8800 GTX watercooled video card, and a BFG PhysX card. The Yuugou represents the end of an era in Falzone’s modding career, he tells us. “My next case will be more of a sculptural work of art that I hope will be the next level for me.”
