Has Anyone found out/ heard anything about the EVGA "prototype" case? * edit * by " prototype" i mean the case that was revealed early this year, by EVGA, but didnt have a name yet  

my guess--- next year

these things dont happen overnight (my plan is to get it along with the x68 classified mobo)

what does the case sorta look like again?

i hope they take alot more time after seeing the "prototype" i was left with a hey look we slapped some stuff on a standard case and its EVGA now feeling.I expected more originality and non standard ideas from EVGA on a Case .Looked like re-branding with minor cosmetic upgrades.  I've seen at least 2 cases from members here that showed 300% better ideas and out of the box thinking that would have made outstanding EVGA cases .

maybe if we're lucky, someone from evga will forget it on a table in a bar

As this Extended Ascension is the biggest case they do and I can install 28 fans that’s a plan on doing :)

A lot of people aren't going to shell out $600+ for a case. CoolerMaster have always priced their cases exceptionally well and highly competitive. Hell, I doubt this case is more than $300. But only time will tell...

Really wish the prototype had a black interior.

There are several different prototypes of this case.  View them here.  Some of the prototypes had two PSU mounts (one on the top, one on the bottom), some had one.  Some had top fan mounts (2x 230mm like the standard ATCS 840, which also has brackets to support a 3x 120mm radiator) but I can't tell if the one shown in this thread has top fan mounts.

I'd much rather have the Lian-Li PC-V2120 myself.  It looks better, it will be built much better (the EVGA SR-2 case is just a modded ATCS 840 which I have, pretty good build quality but nothing like Lian-Li and too much plastic), and I like the compartmentalized design.  However I wonder why they took out the second PSU mount in the bottom - in the V2010 you can mount two PSUs sideways.  Oh well.  It actually has top fans unlike most other Lian-Li cases, but I only see two fan mounts.  Hopefully they are 140mm and 120mm top fan mounts this time, unlike the PC-A77F.

Hopefully this comes out sooner rather than later. Even though the SR2 is still out of most peoples budget, this is still looking like a great case. The only thing i would say nay to is the number of plastic clips. Still, that is an old picture of the parts.

Cant wait for this and the power supply, even if i cant afford the ideal SR2 build.

Well if you don't want an SR-2 build, then this case is basically a Cooler Master ATCS 840 with slightly different looks in a few areas and an integrated EVGA Control Panel.  But yeah I agree about the plastic - Cooler Master uses it too much.  Expansion slot locks (although the ATCS 840 uses screws), optical drive bay locks and fan brackets are always plastic.  The side panels and top fan cover are aluminum but rather thin so they bend rather easily.  This is why I'd like to upgrade my ATCS 840.  For around the same price you can pick up a Lian-Li PC-A70F. 

I would buy this case, but I'm deeply concerned on the airflow aspects of it. Looks like its more accustomed to water cooling. I Planning on going to an SR2, and it would be nice to have a case not the size of a mini fridge in order to accustom the fancy board.

The ATCS 840 was released for $280 I believe.  That's quite a lot, if this case will be released in this price range then I think they should step up the build quality a bit.  The ATCS 840 dropped to $200 quickly and that was a good deal.

Antec 1200 is not what I was thinking, these actually compare to Cooler Master cases in build quality.  While they don't have plastic drive bay locks or expansion slot locks, they still use screws or thumbscrews which is fine I guess.  But they have no way to dampen sounds or absorb vibrations, and Antec cases are just lacking in general in my opinion.  

It's just minor nit picks I have with these CM cases.  The plastic drive bay locks are fine since you can still use screws on thumbscrews on either side, and for those with the plastic expansion slot locks, you can take them off and use screws or thumbscrews.  

The ATCS 840 actually has great attention to detail being all aluminum, the frame for the case is well built, the top and front panels are very thick, the motherboard tray has horizontal support bars increasing its durability, it has a ball bearing tray so it slides out easily and the drive bays are solid.  No rattles.  It's just the plastic drive bay locks, the side panels and top fan cover are a bit too thin so you can bend them.  But their other cases don't have this problem.

i want it to have a Agent Tiny Power Button

so any word on the evga case or coolermaster one (sr2)
