The case has little to do with the use of the computer, that case would work fine but it is a rip off. I would not pay $150 for that thing. If you're looking for a really nice case i'd look at thermaltake or coolermaster. coolermaster also has some good looking cheaper cases.

IMO, id spend less money on "flashy" cases and direct that money toward the actual guts of the system. I would get a decent case without a PSU, get a good quality PSU which would be fit for the system I would have in mind, and go from there. But thats just my bias, especially since I have a desk where the system is below the actual desk surface (so it would be rather pointless with all those lights if you cant even see them! )

I agree with everyone here - it certainly looks nice, but I wouldn't pay that much for it, even if Newegg has it for $100. Why not find a $50 basic case (such as an Antec or Cooler Master) and give your CPU or video card a $100 upgrade? or another gig of RAM?

If you like the looks of that case and want to spend your money on it, don't let anyone tell you not to. It doesn't come with a power supply so you don't have to worry about a crappy Ultra power supply. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

As stated above, a case will not affect the performance of your PC........other than heat. The price is a bit steep but if that's the one you want...........get it.
