There's no two ways about it, you're either going to love Raidmax's new Gundam themed Augusta computer case and proclaim it's freaking awesome, or hate what you perceive is a fugly design. From a stylistic standpoint, the Augusta is one of more uniquely crafted enclosures we've ever seen, somewhat reminiscent of NZXT's older cases, like the Nemesis Elite, only with a touch more funk.

On the inside, the Augusta brings plenty of traditional features to the table. It's separated into two compartments. Up top sits the motherboard, power supply, two 2.5-inch drive bays, and support for up to five 5.25-inch drives. The lower compartment houses up to six 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives, which are tool-less and accessible from both sides.


Other features include seven cooling fans, a honeycomb ventilation design, cable management cutouts, and a front I/O panel with a USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports, mic and headphone jacks, and a fan controller with two control knobs to adjust fan speed and LED brightness.

No word yet on price or availability.

It does look cool but it could look more like Gundam; right now it looks like every other case out there.

It really is Fugly, but it also looks to be functional as Hail too.

I can't make up my mind about this one.

I don't love it but I definitely think its a cool design!

Reminds me of another NZXT case that looked akin to a transformer, I can't think of the exact name at the moment though
