I see two problems with this
Keeping components dust free (  ) and strangely on Newegg or Antec, neither state how loud it is (the fans)

WTF?
I can pick out the top mounted fan & one front fan, but as to the rest of it (except the front ports), where other components are supposed to go, I'm puzzled to say the least?
seems it would be better (and cheaper) to get one of those HSPC Tech stations & just buy a cheap mini shop fan to blow air through the setup?

LOL, I got to laugh at the Features for the case... Quote:
World's First Open Air Case
Layered tray design
Rack mount quality side rails
| not sure on the latter 2, but as to the first one, Antec is really full of themselves now if they really think that?
Hate to break it to you Antec, but these guys were there first, & this was a few years ago at least... HighSpeed PC~ Tech Station computer workbench ~ Innovatek water cooling ~ overclocking
not sure if they were even the first, but their design has been around for a few years at least... & though not as "Cool" looking, far more practical & easier to get at than that "thing"... | |

that's true Vass..
I've seen tech stations around for a long while now. But I believe theirs is the first mass produced.. IDK , I think at least.. lol
anywho, I've been thinking about building my own tech station, then I saw this. The price is a turn off for me, I believe I could build one for far less, even using acrylic. | |

Tech stations are still cheaper, but even looking at whats all there, even $80 is a bit much for what you get: HSPC Tech Stations at Xoxide.com - Starting at $79.99!
let alone $135 for the bigger ones...
could probably put together something for far less with an Erector set from the toy aisles at Walmart  | |

Yeah but the tech station doesn't look cool  so I guess you pay another $60+ for the cool factor  | |
