Actually (depending on cost, if it's anything up to the price of Lian Li's higher-end cases), it is practical. It has airflow like a monster. There's two giant 120mm fans that work to blow cold air into the HDD racks and pull hot air out. The distance the air has to travel is shorter than in most cases that size. Underneath that assembly is another giant 120mm fan that throws air at your main components, and the back is of it is perforated to reduce exhaust resistance. The PSU is isolated from the rest of the build, and there's a space above it that you could use for about any purpose.

My only real complaint about aesthetics is that it doesn't have many effective 5.25 bays. Forget about any devices that take up two or three of them, and if you've got two disc drives, you're not going to be able to stick in stuff like Creative's 5.25 IO drive without looking down into its guts (unless LL bundled some frames) from the outside of the chassis. In all, I like the fans (even if they limit the 5.25 bays) but the curved front just doesn't seem to do it.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

120mm bas been sub-par for quite some years now.

What I meant more is fitting it on my desk/under my desk.  I'm sure the airflow kicks ass, it's just nothing something I'd flaunt.  It's the bold leap they took in the architecture, the curved look gives mixed feelings since everyone's been using square computer cases.

I suppose it's personal taste; I'd like to see if it catches on and other manufacturing mimic it, or if it's a blunder/scrapped idea that LL will ditch if the sales plummet.  I guess they're trying to start a new style/trend.

Lrn2area. The area of four 80mm fans is 201cm², whilst the area of two 120mms is 226mm². Not to mention the fact that the motor takes up a much larger percentage of the area on 80mm fans.
