The only thing bad about those cases is the fact that they take FOREVER to take apart and put back together. Taking out a hard drive can take 30 minutes, and putting in a video card can take well over an hour. The case isn't ATX -- it's simply 6 pieces of acrylic plastic held together with screws. Looks cool, but is a pain in the ass. My brother bought this case and used it for about 4 months before he switched back to another case. He couldn't take how long it took to take out parts.

Thanks for the replies and comments guys, I appreciate it. I agree with Lasareth about the time consuming part, but IMO, I think it just looks cool

sigh.....desktop envy.
Laptops, portable, but just not very moddable.
(at least mine has a glowing display panel on the front. It's useless unless you use it for a cd player, which I don't, but still...it's blue...)
Beautiful case. kudos!

Funny you say that, my name's Bender.

Specs (that I know of)

NVIDEA Ge Force (exact model not known) 256MB video card
AMD athlon XP 2400+
220 Gig HD space
PNY PC 2700 512 MB RAM
CD Burning ROM 52x + standard CD ROM
Windows XP and Office XP

I Posted pics because I bought it off of a friend of mine. Funny thing is, I helped him build it, and I don't even know all the specifics, so the computer guys are helping me out with pricing info .

He's only had it a month, and is now selling it to me for a good (I think) price because he needs the $$$$.

hmm..Impractical, as others have mentioned, but it still looks neat.

However, I suggest you get some cable-binders and neaten them up a bit

I will once I take delivery


I saw it after one month, and yes you could see dust starting to accumulate :ugh: . PITA to clean, but still up there on the coolness factor.

If you want to know what the video card is just take a picture of it from the side with the fan. I'm pretty sure someone here can id it just by a picture.

I was about to suggest getting some rounded IDE/floppy cables for the same reason. They also help with air flow and keep things cooler. There are some pretty nice looking ones available that have glowing wire in them for a very cool effect.... especially if the HD LED is used to control the wire light.

5 80mm fans would make me go nuts! i imagine that thing sounds like a vacuum cleaner. i had 3 in my old case and i know it did. thank jebus for 120mm fans! but your case being acrylic i imagine it wouldnt be hard to mod for 120mm fans. but awesome looking setup anyways!

Yeah, I was thinking that when dust starts accumulating it won't be that pretty. But then again, you mentioned that your friend has had it for a while? Unless he vacuumed it or something that thing looks pretty clean.

I thought the same thing too.....round cables in a normal case that size are not needed...but when you have that much that can be seen...they kinda are needed.
