Ridiculous.
On another note that water cooling set-up in that picture above is pretty sweet. Aluminium pipes takes the hard tube to a new level.
I'll continue using my Antec P183 for the quietness, amazing build quality and lack of window which I like. Bloody thing weighs a tonne though with all that steel.

wow I think they nailed the dimensions. I really like how you can mount a quad rad at the bottom without having the case be the size of the corsair 900D. Not a sure if I like the outside looks though. Still I would buy this if it was around $300

It's just a Silverstone TJ-07 copy

...if I wanted a Silverstone Fortress, I'd just go buy one. Or five, for the price of this thing.

 

[rwinches]

So snap up some then sell them on eBay, Right?

@jdsim9173 Yes it is a Silverstone TJ-07 clone they are possibly the OEM

Lol your right. Except the Silverstone comes with the front drive bays included.
Someone with too much money is going to buy this stupid thing just because it cost a lot of money.

MKII.... oh wait.... THERE WAS A MKI THAT WAS SUCCESSFUL ENOUGH TO WARRANT A V2!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?

I thought this was an April Fool's joke. The case does not look special like my INWIN 902. I really don't see where the 1250 is going, especially when you need to pay extra for the water-cooling when the price tag kinda says you can get this can and custom water cooling for half the price.

This is nothing but a modded

Silverstone Temjin TJ07

dont get fooled by the price.

It's a decent looking case, I dig the style. Although as others have pointed out it's just a spin off of a much less expensive existing case. Many other nice looking well thought out cases for 1/10th the price. I think my biggest burn on this case is over $1200 and they couldn't be bothered with tempered tinted (or clear optional) glass windows on such a limited quantity? Plexi really killed the overall 'quality'.

Same if I were to consider a high end car over $100k, I expect wood accents and genuine leather. Not 'wood' patterned plastic and naugahyde. Nothing against plexi, my enthoo pro has plexi windows - it was also $100.

Antec P183 is the most solid and well made case I have had the pleasure of dealing with. It's only draw back is it's incredible weight but that weight is what makes is a silent runner. If I dare take the double skin with foam inner side off I am immediately deafened by a pair of GTX570's. It cost about $200 in Australia. Everyone I know now owns one since seeing the quality of mine.

Cooler Master HAF X and Cosmos 2 are my best picks

The article refers to "the lucky ones", but all I can think is "the idiots with more money than sense". This is a pretty generic case internally, and externally it's nothing spectacular either.

If you want to blow money on something to be impressive then buy yourself a decent rack server case and load it with six graphics cards; do it right or not at all.

 

[stoned_ritual]

This is also not news, as this case has existed for at least 2 years.

 

[byrdman10]

Not even close to being worth over $1200. If I received it as a gift I'd sell it.

Ironic - I was just looking at this... http://www.million-dollar-pc.com/systems-2013/murderbox-mkii-gold/murderbox-mk2-gold.htm

Personally, if I decided to spent over thousand dollars on a pc case...i would rather buy that Lian Li table than this. Alternatively,you can get more for less money with Coolermaster Cosmos II. Overall, better to invest in more "horsepower" under the hood than in the hood alone, that's my philosophy.

 

[straigh jacket]

I am using a Corsair 400R.. Couldn't be happier with it.. not sure what this case offers that makes it worth a thousand bucks more than my case?

For the people judging from the first two lines of the article, please check out the actual chassis from the sauce: https://xforma.com/mbx_mkii/

Charles has been working closely with Silverstone for many years perfecting this chassis and it is anything but "just." If you have seen one of these in person and the attention to detail you would just cry. You can check out some builds with earlier models here: http://www.million-dollar-pc.com/
