    Go to CompUSA and check one out. They are very nice cases. Most of the who-haa was 1-2 years ago when there wasn't as many companys making Alum. Cases but now with so many companies making Alum. Cases they have lost a little Who-Haa. I Love Mine and would recommend one to anyone who wants a well built good quality case. WHO-HAA.....

    That's the only good I'd see out of them. There are some occasions where it does drop case temperature by a degree or two, but that's relatively rare (even though Aluminum has 4 times more thermal conductivity than steel). They're also pretty light as well.

    I'd be just dandy with a huge steel case, though. They all have wheels, and I never move my rig farther than across the street.

    Besides, every modder has a Lian-Li. I hate that.

    Not literally :rooleyes:

    The vast majority of case modders do in fact use Lian-Li when they aren't on a strict budget.

    lian li's are nice, but the sticker price on those babies doesn't justify the purchase

    IMO

    but the all thumbscrewed, mobo tray and space is nice to have
    perhaps the extra price is the cost of all that thumbscrew hardware

    however i'd like to see someone make a perfect matching alum' paint
