No wonder SKY is looking for a Case reviewer, lugging all these huge n' heavy cases around for reviews must be a pain.

Well, I ordered the Silver version of the case, got the free ground shipping with my ncix points lol, so I'll be here in a week, prolly a week from tuesday.
I really wanted the black... but I guess I will just have to ghost my black dvd drive so it doesnt stand out like a sore thumb

Okay, so I decided to skip the free shipping and paid for express... so It should be going out today..... which means I'll get it tomorrow from UPS.
I'm insanely pumped....

So its the silver version.... should I get it powder coated? or should I just paint the interior black and use muted cathodes...... hmmmm new case = new modding options :D

Oh, I know this question has been asked thousands of times, but I was just wondering how loud that ram fan is.
