OMG! That is by far the most atrocious case I have every seen. I think that perhaps my eyes are bleeding.
| Joe Anderson, reviewer, had the unfortunate but noble duty of reviewing this case and concluded as he wrote: | Pros:
- Striking appearance
- Aluminum construction
- Removable motherboard tray
- Tool-free installation
- Several color choices
- Robust carry handle
- PSU included
- Feature rich LCD display
- Laser-etched window
- Good availability
Cons:
- Expensive
- Amperage-challenged PSU
- Merely adequate cooling

Are those REALLY "Pro's"?
I feel that this case, no matter how "handy" or "innovative" it is internally, is reprehensible. It looks like the cover of a bad kung-fu movie—and not cheezy bad like "Rumble in the Bronx", but just waste of time bad.
Fortunately, ugly dragon cases, unlike ugly dragon tattoos, are not forever.

Some people like haggis, too.

I think it looks pretty good, fit it with a better PSU and better cooling and it will be OK.

A good point indeed. Just like some people "like" the Chrystler PT Cruiser or the taste of cordogs and cheap beer. Who are we to judge?
I wouldn't buy it....or any of the things I mentioned either....

Actually, if it had accomodations to mount a couple of 120mm fans, I would have given it a top rank award! It's not really my style, but to review a case on something as subjective as looks alone is really not appropriate. It's really a very nice case.
And.....whaddaya got against dragon tattoos, huh? |

I've heard that people actually eat haggis, but I've never met one. |

I tried it once. Wasn't half bad. Compared to, say, getting hit by a bus.

The case was too much for my taste.
I really look for sturdiness in a case, and then mod it.
I had a case once that was so flimsy, that if you picked it up, it pulled the PCI cards out  |
