So what's so great about it that it warrants a ~$200 price tag? I don't plan to do water cooling and it's not particularly pretty... haha

Honestly, I really like the new Corsair tempered glass cases. I wish they had a mATX / ITX version.

Also considering a Node 804 now. Can't tell if it's smaller than the 240 or not... I think the 240 might be just a little smaller.

The air 240 is best if you want no cable clutter. The dual chamber is easy mode

$200 price tag due to 1.6mm aluminium in front/rear and 2.3mm aluminum as the sides/top which is 1 piece

Shock resistant drive bays as well for when put in my car

Wouldn't let me edit my last post so I had to make a new one...
Phone was being a derp lol

Yeah. I loved building in my Air 540. I've noticed there are some nice Lian Li cases that seem to hide cables.

I really just want a tempered glass mATX (or ITX) that isn't actually just a small ATX mid case...

Cool Lian Li ITX:

You could do a DIY glass panel. Did it to my R5 and it was well worth it

that case looks like hell to wire correctly... freaking power supply is retarded in that
