The ENTIRE side of the case is a swinging bracket for 4x120mm fans, the motherboard tray is both removeable AND reversable, and their hdd holder has built in noise reduction. I'd say between a CM stacker and an Antec 900 it's roughly even for airflow. Link to comment

(I don't mean the shield, the actual openings). If so, that's tempting. Link to comment

I'm massing some funds for now, maybe I'll invest in it sometime. Also krazie, that case is a downgrade from my 900. Link to comment

This whole thing is made largely of 1-2+cm thick steel and aluminum with very little plastic and all rolled edges. Link to comment
