The Revoltec Rhodium may not be the most nicely named case in recent memory, but it certainly looks sleek enough to please. Check out our comprehensive review to see how Revoltec's latest offering holds up in our battery of tests.

Are they going into the nearest pharmacist to find new case names?

I would need to go into the pharmacist as well though if I bought that

Do you happen to have CM Cosmos in the office? It's the home of Maximum PC's Dream Machine 2007 and I dont believe it to be worthy of such an accolade!

We should have one very soon.

Error on page 2.

The first thing to notice is the side panel, which is fastened in with thumbscrews and which is incredibly heavy thanks to the thickness of the all-steel construction, is fastened in with thumb screws.

thx fixed - Tim

maybe i've been spoiled by my lovely p180, but i'm really not seeing the sleekness in this case.

maybe it's the lovely fingerprints you guys have covered it with, but it looks a little.... tacky!

it's actually surprisingly hard to clean the aluminium brush, but yea, more effort needed

Looks an awful lot like IBM's designs for their full tower and cabinet servers in the late 90s:

**edit: how about a photo of the case in the dark with the lighting on?

umm, the exact same case can be found here, well, minus the snazzy front but the rest is the same:
