    Do people actually buy these things? I bet it's pain in the ass to clean dust off of, with all the nooks and crannies. I would take something plain, square-ish any day. Especially for something I look at once a day when I turn it on, sometimes maybe more if I connect something to the front panel.

    $160? I think I'd rather spend the extra $100 on a better monitor since it's what you look at 99% of the time you use the computer... Or at least a better CPU/GPU combination.

    What is with all the cases for little kids? Its like they want to win the award for ugliest PC case. I mean, look at this thing. Why do they think people want overstyled gaudy crap? I know different strokes for different folks but do they actually test the market when they design these things or just say, "Ah, make it look like something out of Transformers."

    They need to take notes from Corsair and Lian Li. Sheesh.

    A seemingly proper design Nothing wrong with an enclosure that's not gaudy, is there? If you feel you need to attract attention with your PC case go for simple lighting or something. Not an enclosure that makes your rig look like a toy. I guess to each there own.

    Hmm, too many plastics "fins" if you will. I'd like a simple, minimalistic case really.

    Nice case, but too much going on design-wise. I want to see something different, this looks like LOTS of other cases already on the market.

    All PC Towers should have a handle, be smooth, sturdy, excellent airflow, front end I/O's.

    this case does most of those well except for handle and smooth possibly sturdy?.

    Looks rather like the HAF-X which I have. And of course people buy cases like this and why not? The build quality of my HAF is incredible and dust is no issue when you have dust filters... Imo this case looks perfectly fine, I like the industrial look and feel.

    Is that on top an HDD or an SDD?
