looks pretty slick. i like the tray on top for loose parts.

Airflow on this looks pretty good...it isn't anything revolutionary like the press release implies. At least in my opinion.

I do like the locking system for the drive bays, that looks really easy to use. Also, the little place on top of the case to put screws is perfect. I am always losing those since I leave the side cover off of the case most of the time to tinker with hardware. Maybe I am just unorganized?

Either way, we'll have a review of this case coming soon. For now, what are your impressions based on this first look?

Looks like a very good case for the money. Great airflow, cable management options, all black interior, tons of HDD trays, and three 5.35" bays.
