Default Spire Pininfarina Case

Spire Pininfarina Case

"For those not familiar with the name, Pininfarina is an industrial design company. They do design for everything from home consumer items to cars for Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, Maserati, and many others. Today we're looking at a computer case from Spire, the Pininfarina. As the name suggests, the case's design was done entirely by the Pininfarina group."

Hmmmmmmmmm.......

Couple of neat things about this case.

1/ The 5 1/4 bezels inside of the door are recessed which would allow for fan controllers etc.... which aren't flush. I've avoided cases with front doors for just this reason... I like my bling!! :)

2/ The mobo installation tray looks wicked!!! Why aren't they all set up like that.

I'd have to get a look at one close up, but it doesn't look like there's a lot of room inside the case, might not be the best choice for an inside WC setup.

I like it the smooth and simple lines are nice and I like how the whole case is painted, wish my case was painted at the back.

SS i hear you about the fan controller thing, by door was taken off long ago to accommodate my cooldrive 6.

Wow, I really like the design. Don't like the colour much and would like to see one with a side window. Nice find.
