EVGA gaming case

[Necrodead]

This was quite a unique case, I thought. The only other case I know of on the market that has the rear I/O 'inside' the case is the inwin 909+901, but I think they have done a much better job here with the rear door.

It has a nice look but they need to reduce the plastic body with steel or preferably aluminum

Apparently scheduled to be made of aluminum.

I want to see the sticker price on this sucker in Aluminum

Looks pretty nice. Although a bit too busy for my taste.

There's been a few reviews on this chassis, here's the link for EVGA's DG-8 Series chassis http://www.evga.com/Products/Product...s&chipset=DG-8 they range from $149.99 US for the DG-84 to 229.99 US for the DG-87. Note: the difference between the DG-86 and the DG-87 seems to be for color choice only - DG-86 is black and $199.99, the DG-87 is gunmetal grey.

Here's HardwareCanucks take on the DG-87,

and a quote from a review from Hexus.net " When using the case it becomes clear that EVGA has managed to keep costs down by using large swathes of plastic attached to a steel central frame, though that isn't necessarily a bad thing. An aluminium model would no doubt cost a small fortune.... "

Hexus.net had a much more positive conclusion in their review for the chassis http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/chassi...-dg-87/?page=5 vs the Harwarecanucks.com YouTube review (above).

Looks like the more expensive case has a fan controller, a temp sensor and display and more SSD/HDD mounts.

Too bad, I remember they talked about it being aluminum, but I guess that would have made it too expensive.

I like the concept of this case but not the lay out. no 5¼" bays with so much space available seems wrong. The LED should be so much more as well. Reporting many temps would have been nice.
Seems to have a lack of air flow in the lower chamber, at least to me.
