Unless the case can support large GFX cards such as the GTX260/280 or HD4870X2, the case fails in my opinion in that respect. I do like Lian Li cases but I had a tough time fitting my 8800 Ultra into my current Lian Li Midi Tower.

it looks big enough! can we get a response from the hexus boys to let us know if its big enough?

I like it regardless, simplistic with a fantastic finish and what appears to be an effective cooling solution.

That really doesn't look big enough for the GTX260/280. Midi cases need to cut back on the 5.25 bays and mount the hdd sideways for that, this case doesn't. A likely fail :(

Then purely for gaming, the case wouldn't work at all. The HDDs are sideways but it looks like the HDD cage has been set back further too.

Anyhow, the 5.25 bays are too close to the MB tray and I can see it fouling any meaningful GFX cards installed.

The HDDs aren't sidewise - you load them from the front:
