Add a couple of wings and a tail fin and you are good to go.

The case looks like it has a big ugly mouth.

The blue-lighting fad hasn't died out yet?  That's disappointing.

I can see this thing is serious about ventilation.  Does it sound like a jet too?

Yeah, that's ugly.  Though, to be fair, I think Pug's case is equally atrocious.

You just have no taste. :P

Honestly though, it looks much better in real life. I couldn't find a picture that could do it justice.

I saw the case six months before I built my system and fell in love with it. It had been recently released and was showcased at a ridiculously high price ($180), but the paint job was magnificent, and it just looked better than anything I'd seen by Alienware. The front of the case opens with a push, and lifts up like the door of a Ferrari. Everyone kept stopping and staring at it, it just looked so sweet.

In the end I thought the price was too ridiculous for just a case. However I later built my new system and it turned out one store had the case on sale for $120, so I picked it up. :P





Also comes in black... looks kinda like Vader:




In green, though I opted not to have the colored fan:



Looks like that open:



Here is the Asus Vento 7700, which I didn't like as much. I didn't see it open though.

Yeah, I gotta' say, I think your case is really hideous, mate.  I wouldn't be caught dead with something that gaudy.

This is what I have.  100% aluminum alloy.  I heartily dislike plastic.

To each his own. :P

Yours looks interesting though:





Black is nice...





For the rappers:




I recently bought a Coolermaster PSU for my sister. Has a lot of 'bling' for a PSU.

Heh, that's pretty funny... never saw their PSU.  And yeah, I hate the colored versions of my case.  I think those are awful, too.

Your case looks like the bloated bastard child of an Alienware case there, Pug.

I like Pug's case, it reminds of me sci-fi trains, or trains in Final Fantasy.. Que's case is sleek!

Can't say much for my case other than it resembles an aquarium..

Ewww.  Those are ugly!  It's just too much..

I have a really, really basic case.  But that's how I like it.  It's basically all this weird mesh kind of thing that allows a lot of air flow.

Suck it, Pugnate.

I don't mind the case Pug thinks is ugly too much.  I hate the lighting but the overall styling is ok, I guess.

I too am not a van of Pug's case.  I prefer simple cases.  Many of you have probably seen my Lian Li.  It's just a black rectangle.  That is what I find sexy.

I like mine. It's perfect for LANs and such, if only I had a lightweight LCD monitor to go with it instead of a 21" CRT.

It's a bit limited on storage and expansion, but it's got the power for gaming. It's a bit dated now, but it's has competitive specs for when I put it together:

Athlon XP 2500
ATI X800
Lite-On DVD/CDRW drive (don't remember the speed)
80 gig C drive
100 gig D drive
onboard 5.1 surround sound


The main limitation I don't like is that it's only got room for 2 sticks of RAM. So with two 512's in there, I can't just add another stick for more memory, I have to replace one. Instead of buying a gig stick and gaining a gig, I'd only gain 512MB.

I like Shock's and Scott's cases a lot.  Pug's is a bit bloated.

If I had a camera I would take a picture of my case even though its a simple black Antec case, but its covered with all sorts of stickers.  I've got Justice League, video game, and metal band stickers all over it.  Stickers rock.  My Guitar Hero guitar is covered with tons of stickers that don't come with the game.  I've been thinking of making some stencils of various logos so I can spraypaint them on my case.

My case is just an ugly beige box. It holds my computer, and no one sees it so it doesn't matter.

I love how pugs case opens. I have a door on my case and it really bugs me because it feels really cheap though the case is really nice.
