Hello,

Well, that is interesting -- here's the link to the 250mm fanned version:

My concerns are that it is pretty big (though in the P180/182 range), and things like sturdiness (steel thickness)...you would very likely have to snip out at least the rear fan grill.

As you mentioned i think it looks promising. I also think it looks much sexier than any of antec's offerings. I don't like this review much though. Would be nice if SPCR could give an opinion :D

I did it and splashed out on the Sharkoon Rebel 12 (along with a AMD 3850:D)

It got the value edition with the fan as i learnt it has PWM control anyway- full speed is around 900rpm and its made by sharkoon-must be quiet(ISH)!

The reason i went for the sharkoon over the hush was mostly down to fan mounting options and airflow.

The Hush only had 2 120mm fan mounts.I also liked the look of the sidewards drive bays.-plus is cheap for a full tower case - 98 EUR!!

I just hope the case arrives before this weekend so i can assemble it!
