Alright folks, gather around please. Gigabyte recently released their 3D Mercury, a nicely designed and highly featured PC chassis which comes pre-modified and includes a very pleasing to the eyes water-cooling solution.

Once you'll take a deeper look at the chassis you'll notice that it's not just a casing, a very well-thought trough concept has been produced here, into detail. You are looking at an anodized brushed aluminum chassis for optimal thermals; extra space inside the PC to work in; tool-less design; a front panel that is easily accessible; includes fan speed controller on that front panel; water-flow and level indicators; preinstalled water-cooling; valves; splitters and water-block for the CPU. And the list goes on. Let's have a look at the features according to Gigabyte themselves.
