Dont know if anyone else thought of this, but is there any 3.5" bays? And i do believe this will be a great cooling/modding case once its released. Once i get it i will probaly cut out all grills and only use the bottom hdd cages and take out the top ones so more air can go through. Also put a fan on the bottom and 2 on the intake thing.

Does anyone know if it has a removable motherboard tray, like in the P160?

it does not look like the revision that was shown has a removeable motherboard tray, but many things could have changed from then.

LoL, you talking about the air filters?

Yeah they do block quite a bit of air but from the looks of it, they are very easy to clean now which rules over the way you need to flip your case over to pull out the dust filter. K, maybe not flip but having to remove it from the underside is a pain.

i think he was just talking about the plastic gratings (i think they hold the filaters?), which do look fairly restrictive.

yea, you can just remove all that stuff though. gets rid of alot of annoying wooshing sounds in most cases.

im really starting to take a liking to this case now. seems very focused on getting good circulation around the cpu/gpu. how many 120mm fans can you put it in there? 6?
bunch of panaflow l1a's would go quite nicely with this case i bet.

yeah when campanies give expected dates, and then nothing shows up its really a buzz kill. im sure it will come up eventually, but im getting bored of waiting (and finding other things i want to spend my money on)
