Yeah. But quite nice for lan parties.

But horrible for full-sized video cards.

Actually, I can fit a full size or 2. Granted I can only hold one hard drive. The only big pain in the ass is the fact that case I linked to is only accessible from the top down. The sides can not be removed.

I was talking about the airflow dilema. You can't run a gtx400 card in that.

I have a slightly older one special edition thats mirrored (p180) and built my family's computer with a mini one.

PROTIP: Cases are unimportant. Buy the cheapest full-atx you can get and use it forever.

The whole case is pretty much mesh. I don't see why it couldn't. With 3x 60mm fans, the psu, and the exhaust from the card itself, it will pull in a lot of air from the perforated sides and front. There is also an 80mm fan in the front pulling in air(blowing it directly on the video card).

Because that is the worst concept ever heard of.

It is 10x more efficient to channel the air properly.

Antec cases are the best. For some reviews from a source I deem credible, check out:

I have the antec solo and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
