Hmm.. that's a pretty darn good price.  Thnx for posting... I just might pick it up since I'm getting too old to be carry my D800 around. :d

Handsome, but I really think there's a legit excuse for three or more external drive bays still... one for a card reader, one for an optical drive, and one for an option-- whether a second optical, a different type of optical, like a costly BD-RE drive you don't want to wear down by spinning normal discs in, or something like a hot-swap SATA bay or fan controller.

Too bad I recently bought a Bitfenix Shinobi. This was my first option, but I didn't want to wait for a sale.

I actually just bought the white version of this case about 2 weeks ago to replace my aging HAF 932.

Amazing case. Great cable management, very silent, very tweakable.

aging haf 932? not sure which side of my head to scratch..... in any possible way the 932 is superior to the FD case, looks is subjective thing.

I really like the fractal cases.

But the Drive trays don't have large enough holes underneath for Harddrive venting.

I am paranoid about my Harddrives, YES I've read the GOOGLE report....

I still cling to the belief that Drive temperature matters, because I've had several external drives fail on me while the SAME model drives used INTERNALLY without the cover lasted for YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS.


All my drives are actively cooled by low rpm 120mms in open air, out of the computer case, 3 drive to each fan.  Rarely exceed 37 C operation.

While if I put them in one of these cases, they are always pushing 45C

My 932 broke in a lot of ways. A lot of the plastic broke off, my front panel connectors only work 80% of the time, a wheel broke and one of my included fans stopped working. Decided to get this case and I'm enjoying it more than my HAF.
