    It reminds me of the Sunbeam Samurai case from all those years ago, albeit slightly differently stuck together..

    The warrenty is nice, but eh. When your target audience would appreciate that kind of warrenty, I think you're already screwed, because most of them could build the same thing for less money.

    Also, is it me, or does that case look like it's been Tango'd?

    Despite its shortcomings, I reckon it's gorgeous. Would never buy one though...

    I like this case as much as I liked the first sexy Alienware that didn't use a Chieftec case. It's definitely over the top and screams "Look at me!", but it isn't a far cry from the CM 830 Stacker, which I just so happen to love and own

    I would imagine that the novelty of the door would wear off pretty quickly and it would simply be really annoying. I prefer clean simple lines without any fancy jiggery pokery, I don't mind bright colours but I draw the line at pointless gimmicks or gadgets.

    I used to have a Coolermaster Wave case with a hinged door at the top covering the drive bays, I ended up leaving it open the whole time. I wouldn't even consider this case as you end up paying for the engineering that's gone into the fancy mechanism and it just ends up being an irritating pain in the arse.

    It looks nice, but it reminds me of that Vento or whatever case it was. Slightly too busy, but still very nice.

    It won't be "outdated in a year". It's gonna be outdated just right when it hit the shelves for we have a realase of the GTX 280 in mid-June and then the 4870x2 from ATI. Not so nice for a 4000$ (wait, Euros!? Holy...) machine, eh?
