    Fixed, but go easy, covering these trade shows is hard, tiring work.

    @BD - Mirrors are an old trick, and the guts are where the real magic is.

    What got me about this case was what looks like a milled aluminum frame, but none of the panels are square/level to each other. -No visible welds or seams from the pictures I've seen...
    So I suspect the sides are somehow stamped to make the subtle bends? :worried:
    I REALLY would like to know how this one was manufactured.

    The In Win case? It's individual pieces of the glass bolted to a steel frame.

    The mod is just a Bit Fenix Prodigy with glass side panels - the top and bottom pieces are molded plastic.

    I meant the inwin case.
    The render I saw earlier of it, (With normal panels,) implied 1/4"-ish bar frame.

    Yes, two-way mirrors are not new to the world, but neither is concrete, carved wood, fabric upholstery, etc. In my view modders deserve the most credit for inventing new tech (rarely ever happens and doesn't apply here), being the first in modding to use tech that's new to the modding world (as with the Prodigy mod AFAIK) and using tech that's been used by modders before but in a marvelous new way (from the small picture I can't see what qualifies the In Win case in this regard; the approach may be new, but I'm not marveling at it).

    Don't get me wrong, I love it when case manufacturers try new things. But I like to make sure people get their props, and I didn't want anyone thinking the use of two-way mirrors in modding was somehow In Win's idea. Hurray for the little guy!
