Does look quite good. One thing with these cases which have sound-damping foams and so, did they design the case to use that material or just put it to a previously made case because it seemed like a good idea ? Just wondering how much space left there is behind that mobo tray for cable management.

This is what I thought.
Exterior looks just like the old Sopranos, interior looks like everything else being released nowadays.

Never been a fan of cases with doors and flaps that cover the front, they usually end up breaking at some point.

Some nice features and what seems to be a well designed interior. The sound dampening is of course a welcome addition, and it's steel so should be solid built. The exterior isn't bad looking either, but perhaps a little too dumbed down and compliant. Though I suppose it's designed for a modest system.
