Very cool. This open-concept, easy-to-access workbench computer case appeals to the tweakers and the hardcores out there. To everyone else, this is the ugliest thing they've ever seen. What camp are you in?

that is absolutely amazing - I would buy that for sure - $140 isn't too bad compared to what I dropped on my fancy thermaltake case. Only 1 problem: Open design + cats = a whole lot of fun for the cats, and exactly the opposite for myself and the computer :P If I had a separate computer room I could keep them out of then maybe, but as it stands now it'd be a disaster waiting to happen.

Very true, GT-D. Not strong on the practical, everyday living kind of thing. Probably not good for children either.
