AlienWare case?? Can you buy them?

Google CIT 1002 and it's exactly what you want. Not that it's any good of course, but it's exactly what you want.

Personally I'd go for the NZXT Phantom in white these days.

ive heard the NZXT isnt of a very good build quality? I could be wrong but this is just the reviews ive read.

I Would stick to the black one, but thats just me

Most NZXT cases are pretty dodgy, but the Phantom is awesome and I adore the Beta EVO for a well-featured budget case (panels are a bit thin but it's pretty sturdy and great to work with).

Have you seen the white one in the "flesh"? It's surprisingly stunning. There's a few things I'd do to it personally (like actually paint the areas behind the mesh areas black so it actually looks black, not murky grey) but I was very surprised just how great it looks.

The limited edition white and red one is a bit grim though - nice red fans, but the red stripe is more pink and out of place.

I just think the case looks really odd, its not symetrical and does my head in haha!, mind you i have a CM scout and even my case does my head in with the stupid handles, why i ordered it ill never know!

True, I'm with you on the asymmetry but it's not as bad when you look at it. Personally I would've had the front intake vent symmetrical.

I think these cases can look good in the right environment, in the dark probably lol

But in most rooms/situations, they will stand out like a sore thumb and they also have a nill wife acceptance factor.

"nil wife acceptance factor"?

Whipped much? Just slap her upside the head and get her to bring a sammich - she won't see the "puter thingy" from the kitchen where she's supposed to be anyway.

Seriously, I guess I've been fortunate in never having a relationship in which my partner was bothered with computer cases. And to be honest, given the majority of designs these days, I think the gaming case market is focused on people who don't have co-habiting partners to worry about.

I think he means that alienware machines are for spotty and cave dwelling teenage types.
