 Kinda like the factory install of the 2 PSU's. Especially since I do enough fabrication at work.

[Dr.Jeckyl]

that is pretty nice.

Nice case.  Nice looking.  Some nice features.

But IMHO, paying that much for a case, even with the 2 PSU's, would be a bit wasteful of money.  I also don't see a reason for needing two PSU's at this time, considering we have 1200 watt'ers available

[FritzDaKat]

I think the thinking might be along the lines of putting minimal tax on the PSU's to reduce their operating temperature thereby mabey reducing ambient temp's in the case?

 Which aint all that bad.

$439.99 is a waste! nice case otherwise tho i dont really think cooling fans on top of the unit are effective at all.  

as for the taxxing on the psu's... thats not true... but they do have fans in front of the psu to cool them better, great idea! the cooler they run, the more power output they produce.

i like the idea of two psu's but i want to pic my own not a neo-power psu, yuck... and 550 and 800something thats way overkill! most of the reviews have trouble taxing a 1000w psu, it would be better to just supply one psu, and then what happens if one fails... it would be better to have one as a failsafe like in servers, when one fails the other takes over.

cause if one of these fail, then you have to take it all appart again and re-wire everything IF it has all the needed wires. or just replace the bad one, if you have one laying around with enough wattage.

 basically that idea is so bad on a technical level... however its great for marketing because they know some dumb kid "thinks" he will need that, but in reality they know the kid wont need anything anywhere around those levels, but will fork it out to say that he has two psu's and so many watts.

watercooling(or TEC) might take advantage to this, but still... you need to turn one on first to cycle the water and then turn the secound on at a delayed time so it doesnt boot hot as hell.

... i dont really think cooling fans on top of the unit are effective at all.

i'm going to disagree with this. heat rises so fans on top would serve to remove that hot air. BUT 2 140mm fans IS overkill, maybe one 120mm.

[MindlessOath]

well... i agree with hot air rising, but when you make a case and a layout you want air flow, this design doesnt promote airflow. usually you want one intake and one exuast... if you add annother exaust its not going to promote airflow correctly, especially if its not in an idea possition for the airflow you want.

take incense and place it in front of the case, you can see the airflow because you can see the smoke (you probably need a windowed side cover - opening the side of your case willnot promote good airflow either!). if its not flowing through the neccessary area's then its just marketing that made you buy it.

if you add annother fan, to the top its just going to messup the airflow unless your case is sectioned off a way that it will effectivly work for that sectioned off area.
