Damn! I thought that the case might have had some brains for that price - I was wrong:



I DID have a look at the company site - the case is designed to be modded!
looks like there may be a PCA review coming up to *raises hand*

Pick meeeee!!! I'll review one

EDIT: It looks like it has good airflow though and a big plus is that it can take big CPU coolers along with full sized video cards (not bad for an SFF case) - I think that it may be US made also (pricier than other manufacturers due to paying people a decent wage)
Mind you - that's a lot to spend on a case.... there must be SOMETHING special that makes it that pricy

I'd pay 300 dollars for it but only under the condition that Jessica Alba is installing all of my hardware and that she gives me a happy ending.

I was collapsing laughing last night when I found out those HSPC Tech Station "almost cases" sell for *$140* for the large one.

Yes, more than a quality Lian-Li mid-tower which also has the merits of actual places to bolt a 5.25 drive, not just faith.

They'd sell a boatload of them at $40, and judging by what it looks like online, they'd still make a hearty profit, but I bet they'll never even realise it.

It better come with a mail order wife or sing for that price.

I love how it mentions "rounded edges in corners" as a feature! For such a high price tag, that feature shouldn't have to be mentioned, it should be assumed!

Here's a preview of the case:

It would be cool to see PCApex review this.

Lian-Li's new PC-V300 will eat that thing's lunch... for only $100. I know where I'd spend my money.

$300? Yikes! Take a look at Ultra's offering, the MicroFly. It retails for about $100, but street price is anywhere from $50-70. It's a solid case; look forward to a PCApex review on it in the next few days.
