Default In Win F430 Case: review by Overclockers Online

I'm not really into too much bling (or zoom zoom) on a case, but when they're not too over the top and they're well constructed, I can't help appreciate them even if I wouldn't put one in my home office. Here are the stregths and weaknesses outline by the reviewer:

"Advantages
• Attractive exterior
• Strong metal
• Folded edges
• Smooth car paint finish
• Excellent cooling performance
• Easy installation

Disadvantages
• No motherboard tray
• Lack of internal hard drive space"

That IMO is one fugly case, the red is horrible and I dont like the front bezel @ all. The black might be better but orange? Who the F*** buys a orange case? Nothing against orange I have seen it done on custom cases and it looks awesome if done right.
I will never buy a case again without a mobo tray unless its a huge a** case, even then its a pain.

Just curious as to why the picture was deleted from this thread? It was from the manufacturer

ya, i agree with the thoughts that this is one fugly case and not something i'd want to be responsible for buying. it looks on par with the typical $100 price range cases. nothing special.
