Default PC casing advice/help.

Hi

Has anyone got any hands on experience with these cases ?

I was wondering about the build quality before ordering.

That would sure come in handy in my computer room, can just hang it against the wall with my screen in front, would save me a lot of space.
I was worrying about cooling performance, but they seem to have the right approach on that.

I can't see the wall-mounted version being any use for a high-spec gaming system, but I assume that isn't what you want it for. An interesting idea, but it lacks any room for expansion.

Looks like very limited ventilation to me, looking at all kings of pc cases even the most cra....moderate ones want to make you believe ventilation is good.
I know these don't look "moderate", but you know what I mean.

Plus looks like no/very limited room for any aftermarket cpu cooler?

I'd want reassurance that the issues that can arise with vertically-mounted optical drives are sorted.

That's the intention, I have orders for six Multimedia PC's, rather than bung a cheap laptop under/behind the TV this looks like a better neater option.
