Looks good,

there is no shorage of expansion area.  But an ifruit it is not!  Its humongus!

It has the same quick-remove drivecages like My sx1030, those things rwok!

This would be a real nice server case to stick a bunch of nice thingys in,

It would make a lousy Lan party rig.  Especially if said party is up a number of flights of stairs!

I'm going to agree right out with AYB and say that this case is not what you want to take to a LAN party, unless you're a masochist and/or stupid.

However, as a workstation or server, it might be nice. All those 5.25" drive bays means it has enough room for drive redundancy, i.e. 2 SCSI CD-ROM's, 2 SCSI CD-RW's, and 2 SCSI DVD-RW's when they become available, if ever.

It's got quite a bit of room for hard drives so a SCSI RAID0+1 or SCSI RAID5 is feasible.

And it has support for power supply redundancy. And it can fit XEON motherboards.

I'd say if you wanted to use this case as a workstation or server it's pretty much gold.

9/10; it loses .5 points because loaded it'd be fucking heavy, and .5 points because it's white and I want a black case. Or royal blue. Supply that and it gets a 9.5 out of 10.

Because I live in Europe and like to sleep sometimes.

They want ~95 Euro for the thing.

I think I'll buy it.

My miditower sucks ass.
