[citation][nom]sacre[/nom]Not too fond of the oh so common rectangle shape. For me its got to have a curve or two, something a little different than the box design.The Vento 3600 looks great, using it right now. Unfortunately its got terrible cooling characteristics.[/citation]Didn't your experience teach you anything? Function > form.[citation][nom]abbadon_34[/nom]give me a big box with standard screws for cheap and i'm happy. no plastic, nothing proprietary, no fan control and temperature display.[/citation]I used to agree with you, a long time ago. I still value simplicity, and I still don't care for screwless case designs. But I've found that the right kinds of improvements to design and materials can reduce noise and vibration, or even improve cooling. Depending on your goal and budget.
