They made ugly, uglier.

I prefer the Antec Performance cases, really clean looking and quiet.

Good idea this. 😀

The HAF series is still one of the best looking case lines on the market. There's no need to replace something that still looks nice and works great. Change for the sake of having something "different" is nothing but a black hole for your wallet to die in. As for the Stacker idea, it seems like it would create a fair bit more contained heat for the bottom unit in particular. I don't think I would go for it unless I was on liquid cooling myself.

Looks like it fell out of the ugly tree and hit every ugly branch on the way down.

It's not a beauty contest.

Agreed, it is a matter of taste, as is pretty much every case available to the general public. Speaking of the HAF series and lack of Dust filters (at least on the earlier ones), has anyone here tried stealing their wife's panty hose (for the dust of course)?

this is an intriguing concept. your comments are cracking me up; okay, sure, this stuff wont win a beauty pageant. you dont buy the HAF series for looks - you buy for the functionality! yeah the design isnt sleek...who cares? :P the water cooling niche is steered by utilitarianism. as a side note, im not biased at all & love my 932
