I don't care if it's designed by BMW - £500 for a computer tower - that doesn't even include a psu. Bonkers!

That's been about for a few years, I read a review (in PC Pro I think) that pointed out as well as being overpriced, it is crap and a vanilla box is better.

Brand extension at its worst.

Its just a design exercise that some fashionista will buy... Most tend to buy Macs though...

While £500 is excessive for a case, £100 is not for an enthusiast and I personally would never buy a case with a bundled PSU unless it was an Antec setup.

Did you see the one someone made out of Lego?

That said, I do think you are also paying for the right to use it wherever and however you want without any regard for other pc users.

That is a bit excessive. I wonder how much my Mac case would go for if it were PC compatible? For such a monster, it's very quiet, and incredibly neat inside, with no loose wires everywhere and everything tucked away neatly into individual compartments. Probbly even more I'd imagine.

But after all, it's just a case. That Thermaltake thing is just stupid.

My HTPC is housed in an Antec case what makes it look like a bit of stereo equipment.

I have bunged a blue LED fayn inside what gives of a subtle glow, though. 🙂

Love some PC case mods:

Much better than that Thermaltake thing.
