If they made the whole case out of bamboo would it be quieter? That would be interesting to me, and it would look cool enough to be in a home theater set up.
As it sits now I agree it would be cooler if it was totally bamboo.
The bamboo would be quieter for 1 reason because its thicker then the thin metal but if you want a quiet machine just put rubber matting on the insides of your case etc.

Agreed. If they wanted to use bamboo then they should've just made it all bamboo.

You want to emphasize each pieces unique grain. I do agree that I would want a full case done in it. Just the front panel looks tacky.
The HTPC case actually looks pretty nice... and the mid tower wouldn't be so bad if it was a uniform color, or one solid piece that had been cut.
I'd buy a bamboo-front HTPC case if it fit my decor.
