Looks like Enermax has a new case (cs-5190al) out that comes with a window and in several colors. Rather odd looking with the slanting front but if it gets good reviews and isn't priced too steeply then I might consider it for my next system.

Here are some of the features:
-More drive bays than other PC cases in the market, 4x5.25" +3x3.5" opening bays and 3x3.5" hidden bays for HDD.
-Thumb screws,slide-in and removable M/B plate for easy system assembly.
-Air opening on front and side panels for the best heat dissipation

That is one very strange looking case! Kinda looks like after they thought out all the additional drive bays, and monster cooling they ran out of money on the styling.......

Or else they stopped caring........ and guess what...so have i :)

Looks like shit, smells like shit..... Lian Li .... all is forgiven!

That is one fugly case, as a matter of fact, it's $400 worth of fugly. I don't care how much you mod that, it would still be fugly. OK, I guess I'm done.

What was that nonsense about having more drive bays that any other case on the market. Any full tower would beat that. Converting a 5 1/4 to a 3 1/2 is easy enough. Hell my case has 6 5 1/4 bays, 2 open 3 1/2 bays and 6 internal 3 1/2 bays. And it looks daft.

A few midtowers have 10 total bays.
There are some good points about that case tho.
The LCD and fan controls, front ports, slide out mobo tray.
But that slanted front just ruined it. Not only ugly, but all the cdrom bays are on a severe angle. Try loading cds in that biatch all day and youd think about tossing it in the dumpster. And only 60mm fans on the back, not 80mm.
Could have been good, shame. They should know better.
