Notes on the case:
Glad to see a case seller that has made room for a 120mm fan on that right panel. No 80mm need apply. The 120's are much quieter.
That right side panel mesh: 6x120mm fan positions. Hilarious! No grommets for a 200mm or 230mm fan. What a wasted opportunity.
Underside: another wasted opportunity. Restrictive grills instead of dust filters.
Rear and rearward top 120mm fans. What's with the supplemental honeycombs? Can they focus airflow? If not they only serve to restrict airflow.
With top louvers, there is no need for top grills. They restrict airflow.
The case looks like it would fit an Archon.
I like the way you measure the back space and show that ruler. Such exquisite photography.
This is one of those cases where the provided fans are only for show. They clearly tell us we would need to install serious fannage. So why have a rear grill? It only restricts airflow.
Ah, well.
As usual, superb review.
