I'm not very fond of the single 5.25" bay, and the fact you can only have 2 3.5" HDDs. Honestly, for $269 it's functionality is trash. But I guess it's more about looks. But to me, it looks cheap.

Also considering the materials are significantly cheaper than steel, for $269 this seems really inflated.

Oh except everything I said is wrong according to the data in the article. Skimming FTL.

Sorry I'm flooding this with comments but:

two external 5.25-inch optical drive bays.

Where is the 2nd 5.25" bay? There is no room over the one drive pictures, and underneath it is the power button. /perplexed

Agree with top post way too expensive. I'll spend close to a hundred for a case but no more, I'm an idiot if I do when great looking (simple black, functinonal) ones can be had for under $50.

Bit pricey,...

 

[runswindows95]

For $270, rather just pick up the Cooler Master HAF-X or a case worth getting. I mean, no fans installed at all?

 

[drwho1]

silly case accompany with an equally silly price tag... who knew.

 

[shin0bi272]

cool coloring ideas but I thought that the whole window thing was waning let alone the acrylic case fad. I bought a broadway com corp r900 case for 60 bucks with shipping... its a dual power supply full tower case. The only I issue I had with it was that I had to take off the 120mm side fan to put in my TRUE rt1366 heatsink.

Who wants to pay $270 or more for an oversized shoe box? not me

 

[back_by_demand]

VERY fond of the idea of BTX format, I prefer my tower on the desk on the left hand side and they always stick the window on the left so you cant see it. I have an Aerocool Baydream, so the window is on the right, but I just put an ATX board in it and it sits upside down, OK so that's cheating but it does the same job and gives me all cooling and viewing benefits.

 

[silverspike]

truth is there a much better cases for $50 less. this one doesn't even have a second 5.25 bay. for 270 i want it all

 

[mickey21]

As already mentioned, over priced. 4 hard drives and 2 bays, (blah blah SSD), not hardly enough space. I will stick with MM's thank you very much. Where I can get cases with very low limitations and high customization. This is pretty weak.

 

[ojas]

lol i'd get a 2GB 6950 instead.

 

[maigo]

Should use better looking screws

 

[hoof_hearted]

Can you say "Bling Bling case"?

No thanks!

 

[dark_lord69]

PASS!
I'll stick with my cheap, yet effective Antec 300.
And like ojas said, I rather get a video card with that much money!

 

[southernshark]

Micro ATX and small plz... get rid of the fatties.

I'm sorry sir, but as someone who works with Acrylic for a living, I happen to know you are drastically mistaken. Cell-cast acrylic (not the extruded junk used in cheap sunbeam cases of old) is very expensive. Please look up what the costs of 3/8ths inch thick cell-cast acrylic is and compare to .85mm steel.

[citation][nom]TheCapulet[/nom]$270 for something I could literally build myself for 30 bucks in materials and a week of building, even without specialty and machine tools? No thanks. Danger Den has always made gaudy overpriced crap that doesn't stack up to it's competition in any way. More useless junk that no one in their right mind will buy.[/citation]

Its understandable that your tastes are not in alignment with what DD has to offer, plus you may prefer cheap but functional cases to house your components. However it is quite unfair to make ignorant comments maligning the materials and skill it takes to work with them. You could not buy a single 3/8" cell-cast acrylic panel for 30 dollars, let alone the 4 it takes to make a system. As far as not needing special tools, you will find if you work with it in the future it is much more tricky than working with thin steel. It cuts on the table saw very well, but past that being able to use a dremel and file is much simpler than working with cell-cast acrylic.

You might be getting confused with extruded acrylic, like the junky stuff manufacturers use in their case windows, or that Sunbeam made their old case out of. That is just another cheap plastic.
