Casetek LAN PARTY Dreamer: CK1021
Casetek is a company new to THG Readers, as we have not previously reviewed their offerings. Once you have a look at this case, however, you will see that Casetek is using a case for the "CK" Series that is a customized version of a case that we have seen from other companies as well. The CK-1021 from Casetek is Casetek's 1mm thick aluminum case that is targeted toward the LAN party enthusiast, as the name implies. While our CK-1021 was provided in a #189 finish (Casetek's code for a silver finish), Casetek also offers the #188 finish (a black and silver combination) and a #190 finish (a black and blue combination). We have seen many of these design ideas implemented in cases from other vendors, this is the first time that we have gone directly to the source to review an offering that is a 100% CaseTek designed and finished creation.
