I don't like the zigzag thing

asa imo pasabot zigzag bro? ang iya side panel? ako pud dili ganahan sa side panel coz mag cover sa uban parts inside unya dili pudko tigbutang ug fan sa side panel ky kapuyan ko ky sige mangud ko open sa side panel. im planning to have the side panel modified para open tanan iya itsura.

Pros:
1. Nindot ug nawong
2. Nindot ni na compromise if ganahan ka sa 1200 unya dako-an ra ka and mahalan. Mas gamay man ni siya and possible na mas barato pod.
3. Antec cases always has good build quality.
4. Much better cable management than the 900 with plenty of predrilled holes on the motherboard tray.

Cons:
1. Negative airflow, dako ra kaayo ang exhaust compared to intake. Result: this case would be a dust magnet.
2. If your power supply has a bottom mounted cooling fan, then kinahanglan nimo tuwaron kay wa man bangag under sa case for the PSU to intake air. This is my biggest dislike of this case.
3. I dont know if the front intake fan has air filter, if none, then defenitely a con. The old 900 has no front filter.
4. If you want to turn the top exhaust as an intake to create negative airflow, then you will have a problem with dust because the top exhaust defenitely has no fan filter.

Other thoughts:
I think there is a flaw with the airflow design of this case and many other cases for that matter. I am a true believer of positive airflow. 3 intake fans and 3 exhaust fan is a waste of energy. It is basically the same airflow with three intake fan and no exhaust. To get the best airflow, it would be best to have 6 intakes with no exhaust and have a lot of venitilation at the back of the case for the air to exit.

If the price difference would not be so big, you would be better off buying a silverstone fortress FT01. Heres the link for a better illustration of positive airflow. I am not promoting Silverstone, although I love their products, but if you can get your case to have a positive airflow, put fan filters on all intake fans, then you get the best airflow posible for your case and no problems with dust.

Wow bro garfield! Amazing points you got there specially about positive airflow and PSU mounting. But I secretely hate you now because you make me have second thoughts about this case.

And also brad, sakto gyud ka na ang 3 intake ug 3 exhaust fans are just a waste of energy. Mas maayo gyud diay na himoon na lang ug 6 intake no exhaust, pareho ra ug airflow sa 6 intake 6 exhaust na set-up. hehe! Thanks.

dats correct. simply just stay away from dust magnetic casings to avoid dust labor. hehe

nice pud ang silverstone ug quality. there's just one thing nga dili kaayo ko ganahan sa silverstone, ang appearance sa ila mga casing dili kaayo ko ganahan.. pero some people like it.

sa ila pud power supply, nice pud ug quality, pero ganahan jud ko ug power supply nga led light ang iya fan, unya tingala lang jud ko nga wala jud koy nakit-an nga silverstone nga with led fan. i know dili mu matter ang led fan sa performance, pero i just like the look of the led fan in a power supply. it's just a personal preference though.
