I pity the fool who thinks buying this product is a good decision.

Seems redundant to call a $2600 desktop case limited edition. That said, 777 doesn't seem that limited for a case that expensive. Do they really think they're going to sell that many?

 

[Mindstab Thrull]

Am I reading right that it's 2600 USD for a case with a pump, reservoir, and fittings? Just making sure I'm not missing anything here.

Yup, and some RGB. 46 pounds and 2600 USD for a paperweight unless you can afford other parts, which you won't after buying this case.

You are forgetting the ppl who bought RTX 4090 on launch day from scalpers...

The people who bought the 4090 on launch from scalpers are the same people who are buying this case, both are poor, and both can only afford that one product. In the end, it doesn't make a difference. Both are a paperweight to whoever bought them, it just depends on if you want a 46 pound paperweight or a 5 pound paperweight(idk weight of 4090, I just assume it's 5 pounds because its very large).

Why are you so intent with pushing your evaluation of the case's price on others?

How could you possibly believe poor people are buying $3-4k graphics cards and a $2620.99 EK cases?

Personally, I would not buy the case, however, that does not mean I cannot appreciate it as, essentially, a large piece of art. I can also appreciate the design and engineering that went into the case. I hate the notion that so many people believe that everything that is expensive equates those things with being 'bad' or 'useless' by default. In reality, these things are not priced low enough for them to consider a purchase, so it must be a bad product.

Well they are poor AFTER buying both of those.

I can buy 5 sets of those right now, that does not make me poor, or rich for that matter if compared to my peers.

If you didn't notice, it was a joke. A case that expensive relative to others would be a waste of money, and I exaggerated it to show that the product is not worth the price and many other things could be bought instead.

I did notice the lukewarm attempt at a joke that tried to purvey a nugget of truth, however, it was neither funny nor truthful in any sense, in my opinion.

eh, fair. My sense of humor isn't that great.

Don't worry, I am as unflatteringly unfunny as anyone comes, if that makes you feel any better about this one.

That could be said about a lot of things.

If it's not your money and someone's not harming anyone or themselves in purchasing it, let them have their fun.

Create a new product, make it look nice, at least to some people's eyes, say it's a limited edition, give it a very high price tag and, there will be people out there that will buy it.

So anyone who bought a 4090 can only use it as a paperweight? I use my Video Cards for displaying pictures on my computer. It's fun, you can even play games. Lots of options and brands out there. Is the 4090 the only paperweight Video Card?

I remember when Amiga died and I jumped ship to PC. I spent a lot of money for the Diamond Viper Video card. It used the Weitec 9000 chip. I got a lot of flac from friends over pay that much for a Video Card. It was very nice and I never regretted it.

I would never buy that case. Not for me. ( As they used to say, "I wouldn't buy that if it came with hookers and blow".

Agreed! NFTs Gack!

I use my GPU for smashing out windows, think of it as a really really expensive metal rock with bits and bobs.

Remember, Vandalism is only part of the problem, Not the solution!

 

[Rakanyshu]

At that price point i think you could get a custom designed one just for you from a local studio/designer...

Yeah, over the space of 10-12 years. 🤣
