They look pretty good but I don't think I'd like it for that long if I actually owned it. I also think they look small.

We have a blue lucite case (translucent) in the house. It has CCFL UV lights, UV reactive fans with blue leds in the fans, cables and a modded UV reactive PSU is it.

Looks VERY cool in a dark room.

Bought and built by my then 15yo son. Is his Uber gaming rig.

My roomate bought one of those, and a big problem with it is that the drive covers fall off all the time. Plus the 5 1/4 bays are too big, so you can not mount drives properly in the case. Plus the power supply bolts to the back of the case and bows it in from the unsupported weight. Plus the fan holes are not drilled properly, so you can not get fans to fit. The wort part is that you have to pull of the side of the case and unplug all the mobo plugs to change drives after it is built....a real pain. It looks good, but functionality is very poor.

That's the case I mentioned, as well. The only issue we had was having to mount the MOBO before assembling the drive cages. The son put it together and has not moved since it was put on the shelf.

I, on the other hand am always into the box for some reason or other and would go nutz if I had to use that plastic case.

I hear your pain...............
