Yeah, you pretty much understood what I was saying. I'm all for nice cases, and dropping money on things is sometimes well worth it. And like you said, I think a lot of people are drawn to these massive cases just because they are that...massive. However, after a while, sometimes dedicating all of this personal space to a case that large becomes something people don't want to do. And you can often find many of the advanced features of a large case in a smaller footprint. Because honestly, most of us will never use that much space. So rather than just go for "full tower" because that seems like what everybody else wants, I encourage people to not limit themselves to a huge case. You can get features, good airflow, and nice cabling options in a mid tower as well.pparks1 Has a point though in stating that this case is overkill for some. Especialy with one of these rigs he quoted. all of that could have fit fine in a mid size case for less than half the price and cooled just as well. Thats all im sure he was trying to point out. But like in real life, Some like it big and baller!
