    I have been oogling at this case recently and I am very impressed. Its fully modular and can suit the need of any configuration possible. Its one of the few cases that can do this afaik.

    See here:

    Oh that looks like a nice case.
    I've been thinking about building a new system and that looks like a good case to use.
    I was also looking at the silverstone ft03 but that is a completely different type of case.
    I would be very interested to hear if anyone here has used the lanboy air.

    If you take it to a LAN party I hope its not pissing rain getting out of the car or a can cold beverage gets knocked over! :D

    yeah its not all that waterproof! But most pcs arent supposed to be :p It can take up to 15 fans, which tbh isnt a great selling point. If you had 15 fans on you would have basically built yourself a loud hoover. But some strategically placed fans would handle the cooling nicely.

    Id have a fan blowing air over/through the hard drives, and another sucking the air out the other side. This would reduce hot air ending up inside the case, heating other components.

    tbh i think its ugly as hell and i read a review on it by custompc magazine saying thanks to all the mesh grilling and opened slots the airflow is completely terrible il link ya's to that review later

    noisy will be a serious understatement. how much airflow do you actually need?

    id prefer a thermaltake level 10 if you want something shiny and showy. they just released the new level 10 GT version.

    I would prefer the lanboy, the level 10 looks horrible, what a blocky mess of a case.

    Sure if you like the case buy it and don't let anyone else change your decision. ;)

    Air flow in that case would be awful due to all that mesh panelling not to mention the amount of dust it going to attract would make living with it a right pain in the ass.
