Pros:
-Features
-Easy access and good cable management
-Look?! Well, its a matter of taste and usualy its adorable to the "big baby" lovers.
It got a bit of a Star Wars design.
-Travel ready carrying handle (at least something new, which is rarely seen).*
*However, im not to certain if it would be successfull in any country other than US, because such a fully equipped big tower is pretty heavy and only some strong men could actually move it around without feeling "tired" on theyr hands, after a while. Not everyone is that strong, and most people, in term a notebook is to less powerful, would rather chose to use some SFF sized system in order to move it around (frequently). In most terms such a build is successful in performance (and drive bays) and a huge tower not truly required.
Cons:
-Material from main chassis is bleach (steel bleach).
-Material from HDD bays is plastic **
-Huge (for traveling use).
-Price, for the same price a brushed ALU case could be gotten from Lian Li.
**Although when the fans are blowing at the HDDs, it should not create any negative impact to the drives. I would still prefer to use bleach bays with a
gummi-holding in order to remove possible vibration (at the same time its insulating to other factors such as electrical charge).
For my taste the stuff is to huge and i got no need for more than 4 internal HDD bays. I simply upgrade to 4 TB HDDs, which would give a impressive 12 TB in a RAID 6 compound. I dunno why i would need more than that. But thats just a personal preference and not everyone got endless space in front of theyr nose (where a PC, or several PCs, usualy belong). I definitely am investitigating the factors of raw size vs. highest material quality. Considering both builds have 2 intake fan and 2 outtake fan (chassis attached).
-It would be interesting to check out if a huge tower made with lacqued bleach, is able to dissipate more heat than a smaller build but with brushed ALU. Which is a raw and brushed (surface enhanced) surface without any kind of coating.
-Investigating the factor of airflow and space requirement for that airflow to be sustainable without hinderance to the fans.
-Investigating how much the cables are able to decrease cooling when there is no hidden "cable chamber".
Knowledge is never able to satisy...
Still, its not a matter of fit or not fit, its a matter of "does it actually make sense", because a chassis is always a compromise between size and space management related to parts and cooling. If we could just build a endless huge space... then we can just use our room and attach the parts at the wall... then we have space for anything we could ever wish for, but it doesnt work like that. Its always a compromise building a suitable case. The parts have to be matched and the size not to less and not to much, it simply need to be able to hit the sweet and effective spot.
The true challenge building a case is not seen on a near unlimited space, but when someone have to scramp as much as possible in a way to limited space. On top of that, combining that mess with very few sacrifices on cooling and noise (so that it could nearly match bigger builds), stuff like that is challenging and the stuff i feel most adorable when it is successfull. Of course, nice builds those towers, yes, but nothing new at all, its a very old and proven 08/15 design in its main architecture, and still not the mother of all possibilitys.
So i say... fine but still not impressed.
