I dont know if id spend £160 on a case,But it does look well worth it in terms of Desighn and build quality.
I like all the Cable management thought they have put into it too,Its a pain in the ass to have to drill your own like i had to on my CM690 so it would be nice for it just to be there already done + the panel at the back so its easy to change the cpu cooler just makes things a whole lot easier.
Now, you forgot to tell me where you live
It was worth every single penny, honestly, I was considering getting a 690 II for about £100 less, but though may as well pay the extra now and have it last me for the next a hell of a lot of years. With the size of it, everything possibly forever will fit, even if it means making some small modifications as standards change.
The front panel cables come ready managed pretty much, and for the others it is just exceptional. It isn't just the thought with cable management that has gone in.
It comes with a 4 and 8 pin CPU power connector because most power supplies don't have the cable long enough, all of the screws are thumb screws so everything is truely tooless, the fans and the filter all just slide in and out, the HDD cages slide out, don't need tools, and just slide back in, no locking in or screws required
A bit of a pro/con, but an excellent addition I think - rather than just push the front 5.25" slots out you have to take the front bezel off, then they come out very easily. This sounds like a nuisence, however the front bezel you just put your hand underneath and pull and off it comes, then it just pushes back on.
The whole quality of everything is just phenominal. The only downside is the weight. I've not weighed it, but with just the PSU, DVD drive and hard drives in I was struggling to get it upstairs, where it is living for now until my motherboard gets here and I can fully build it and leave it downstairs, it weighs an absolute ton.
And even if you know where I live, you will to rip the case out of my cold, dead hands
