Conclusion:
I think that it's very clever and unique what Spire did with this case. I was very excited to see what features would be in a case designed by Pininfarina, and I wasn't disappointed in the least. The design is simple and elegant and I find it very pleasing to look at. I also love the "butterfly" folding side panels for easy access to the entire chassis, as well as the near perfect fit and finish of almost everything in this design. The quality is superb, but I think what most people will enjoy is a case that offers all of these features for a reasonable price too. The noise level of this case wasn't quite as low as I expected it might be, but it was still quieter than our previous case which had the same number of fans in it and fewer air openings. The noise level was quite acceptable to me considering the amount of venting slots this case offered. My only complaint is the left hinged front door, but other than that this is definitely one of the best quality cases we have had the pleasure of reviewing and working with.
Pros:
- Stylish curved Italian design
- Front USB/IEEE1394/SOUND connections
- Removable Mainboard Tray / Side-Panel
- Tool-less design
- 120mm and 2x80mm fans provided for excellent cooling
Cons:
- Front Drive Bay door is hinged only on the left side
