The Exterior


The brushed aluminium look of this case is really nice, a lot of time was put in design and you can be sure that this case will look good next to your Hifi. A combination of blue coloured plastic and silver nuts make the front one of the most beautiful I´ve ever seen.

Now you are saying to yourself, "what the hell is he talking about, that big round thing really looks buttugly!".
I agree that in clear daylight the underside of the front isn´t all that flashy. But you ain´t seen nothing yet!

When your PC is switched off it will show the current time and at night it really is quite a sight to behold. Of course this effect can be achieved easy by installing a CCFL into your case, but we´re reviewing a complete product here! No mods need to be done to get this final effect.

Don´t like red? No worries there are over 6 colours to chose from: Purple, Green, Yellow and 3 shades of Blue.
Start scrolling down to see some of them.

You can either chose to let them rotate every ~2 seconds, or select 1 colour which remains fixed until you remove to powercord from your PSU.
Speaking of PSU´s, GlobalWin decided not to include one, so the task of choosing a high quality PSU lies in your hands.

At the bottom of the front panel you´ll connections for your sound and USB, they are easily attached to your motherboard by using the provided extension cables!
