This is the point i made, shows too much of the drive bays and not much of the board. They should have gone with a transparent fan mount like on the 690. But then the HAFX has an even uglier window!

I have a good mind to get this case just to see how it would look with an acrylic window rather than that unsightly fan!

Utguard looks like a Antec 1200 replica from the front (read: really really really ugly!). And the orange expansion slot holders are sore on the eyes!

But he is not using a Xigmatek casing or a PSU!
!!!!

Something else that you guys are probably aware off. Both casings are cheaper here than on newegg! The elysium is 219 US$ (which translates to >17k), while the pantheon is >US$100, which translates to atleast 8500!

Very nice review !
I was just looking at this case a few days ago, then I see your post on FB and came here. So this can fit a SR-2 and plenty of water cooling, lots of good options with this case.

Thanks

@Afaq
Great review as always..

& well the price if this case is ~$163 here, roughly $50 cheaper than Intl. market rates

[rafay22]

great review but its a beast with no looks :/

 

[Lord Ammar]

^ couldnt have said it better myself. its just huge but looks just meh

.. For that they'll have to do a V2, or CM will have to do a HAF-Z !

Or a HAF XYZ?

Anyway this is a good case especially considering what it competes with at this price. My only concern would be what if one was to have a PSU with short cables? I guess mounting the PSU up top would solve the prob, but personally a bottom mounted PSU makes more sense, and I seriously doubt that the CM and even the Asus PSU that I have comes with cables long enough for this.

850 and 950 watts psu usually have long cables i will be wondering if someone own this chassis and using cm 600 with it
