It looks great (considered one myself when they first came out) but a quick search through any of the enthusiast websites will garner full pages of comments like "it looks great, but OMG the wire management sucks......" :)

Leaving the marketing hype aside though, it looks like coolermaster is one of the companies who are willing to listen to constructive critisism. A quick look at the evolution of the cosmos series and the more bargain minded HAF seems to indicate that they are trying to incorporate the things enthusiasts are asking for.

I have to agree with Steve for what he has to say for CM. They DO care for enthusiasts. Starting from the CM Stacker series, man o man, did they build it on it, now to the HAF 932, honestly they might be very minimal flaws to it, it's a very well built case, why because they looked back on their previous chassis to where to messed up the designs, and had a look at comments from different customers.

That looks extremely massive for a LAN case...I don't think I'd ever buy that to haul around for LANs. I'm actually considering selling my P182 for a smaller case, since I don't need all the features it has, yet I do have some hardware that gets fairly hot. I think the minimalist approach with some lighting (what gamers want, I guess, not me), and a cooling solution like the 900 or HAF is where it's at. All this hype is killing me.

My general rule of thumb that I go by is KISS. I'm sure all of you know what that means...

Haha well then I guess I would never belong in NF because I'm a very light drinker...

You would be surprised what the extra oxygen in the air being at sea level will do for your drinking abilities....

If that case enaberif linked to has excellent cooling and solid wire management I will take a look at it as long that I don't have to pay for the 'gaming' promo that goes along with it. The fact that it has leds and such does not appeal to me, but I do appreciate the ability to turn off the leds.

On the notion of cooling, this entire case is meshed...not counting dust issues which I can deal with, will the cooling be much better? I always thought that proper airflow was the most important part of case cooling, and would the mesh actually impact proper airflow? Just wondering

I think the entire Meshed design would impact airflow IMO at least. You would probably lose some of the directional airflow you have in cases now, and it would probably be impossible to maintain a Positive Pressure inside the case.
However, that being said, passive heat loss from the case would likely improve, as well as hot air pockets inside as well.
Just my two cents, but at least someone , somewhere is aiming at this market in perhaps a more positive way.

Out here on the left coast they use all that extra oxygen to help burn dried plants rather than drink
