The first review is here:-

MSI Nighthawk Case Review | Hardware Secrets

Looks like they are too attached to the Hawk name. :lol:

Some of the highlights as compared to other cases:-

1) built-in 12-in-1 card reader with a USB 2.0 port
2) 200mm fan fitted in left side-panel
3) 3 USB ports in front, only one of them is USB 3
4) optional 120 mm fan on the bottom panel, comes with an air filter for this
5) You can’t route cables behind the motherboard tray

Bummer. They have a lot to learn then.

no cable routing = no use

Anyone don't need any review. This one reason is more than enough to tag this produce as a big fail. Better luck next time MSI.

No routing, is a NO NO these days. Hopefully they should learn at an exponential rate.

CM Elite 430 has done well without any cable routing. Question is whether MSI is going to release this in India. Also at $90, its costly.

no exhaust fan on the rear or top side ???

1 at rear.

Here comes the Raptor:-

^^ nice find - considering the features ( read USB 3.0 port and quality fans ) the price should be a bit low - say around ~2.2-2.5k IMO ;-)
