Conclusion

Where does the case fit in.

The difficulty with this case is where it fits into the case market. I time of press the price of the case is 660 euro's this is an enormous amount for a computer case, most people moan at the high price of coolermaster cases. I spoke to Naya on this issue and the quoted 660 euro's price from their website is "This price is the maximum recommended. You can find lower prices at some dealers." If they case is available at half that quoted price I would recommend it for someone wanting a unique case where you can see all the internals. It has adequate cooling for most people, those wanting high overclocks should look elsewhere.


Pro's

  • Looks
  • Very Unique
  • Good access for motherboard
  • Lockable side panel
  • Solidly Built

Con's

  • Price
  • PSU position
  • No removable drive tray or bays
  • Drive fitting slightly fiddly
  • ATX blanking plate will not fit all motherboards
  • No PCI blanking plates
  • No use of thumbscrews
  • Fans not clear from obstructions
  • No second 120mm fan included as default

Conclusion

This case is certainly unique, if you are after a good quality mid tower case that looks very special then this case is certainly one you should consider. That said the high price means that very few could afford this choice.
