Nice looking case.
I like how it kinda looks like a mini-computer/mainframe from the front.

Yeah, that's what made me look at it first... All the "slots" are vents too (nice filter behind the door).

I'm thinking of throwing some dark-blue EL-Wire behind the filter to make the intake glow. Nothing much, but something to make it stand out a little more. :wink:

You should have known. Pretty decent thread on this on the back porch. UPS isn't very good at taking care of residential deliveries, but FedEx is awesome. So is USPS.

Like the case, thinking maybe a dual Opteron system now instead of a game machine...awesomepower.....huhuhuhu

Yeah, I wasn't surprised. GigaCase.Com had either FedEx or UPS, but basic ground through FedEx was listed at $133 for shipping!!! :o

UPS was only $33, so...well... :wink:
