anyone seen this yet?
aside from the stupid htpc cases with lcds in front, this has some extreme craftsmanship and features ive not seen in a case yet. Im a fan of overpriced lian li cases, so this will be my next bitch.. im expecting a $400-500 price tag. ouch.

Im confused. The article says it is designed for a mATX. But the board in the picture is clearly not mATX.

That thing really is huge. I don't think I would ever get one that big, smaller is better IMO.

I think the target price range would be around 150-175, 200 max, 400-500 seems outragiously overpriced just for a case

hahahaha, you obviously do not know Lian Li. My simple Lian Li case was $170 when I bought it. Expect this to be at least $300. Also this isnt just a case, its almost as nice as the Mac Pro desktop cases.

Fuck that, that is just way to much for a pc case, you can build a pretty decent computer for under 500 bucks

$600 is just stupid. I'd actually be embarrassed to tell people that I spent that much money on it.

600.00 for a case? That thing better jerk me off while I'm looking at porn

All I see is a black hole, and sooner or later they’re going to suck each one of us into it. But when they come for me, I'm going to take as many of them with me as I can.

i really hope they drop it down to 350 at least...
hand made, lots of features, lots of extras, nice thick ALUMINUM.. not cold rolled steel like most cases.. the case itself is a heatsink.

but yea 600 is waaaayyy too much.

$350 is even a bit much for a case even if it does have a nifty fold out tray for the mobo install.

So I may upgrade my stock HP case in the near future for something better for airflow....

How do I know what the right kind of case is?.... remember that I am an uber noob and I am seeking guidance from the best IMO....

I have a stock case/mobo/processor/PS from an HP a720n.....

I know Joker was talking about a case he had....

That is kinda pricey for a case. Hell, I've probably bought my last case. It's laptops from here on out for me. $350 is 1/3 - 1/4 towards a rockin' laptop.

$600 for a case.. and you think Apple spends a lot on the way their shit works. I still say the Power Mac and Mac Pros are put together much nicer.
