Budget Case Fans Listen Up - Free Samples!

I'd be interested in trying one of these cases out in order to give a comparative view with my Zalman Z9.
Both the Bitfenix cases and the Z9 are relatively low budget cases and more often than not you find people like to cut back on their case in order to free up some budget for other hardware. In light of this, with the Z9 proving a hugely popular case under the £50 mark I think a comparative view of this with preferably the Bitfenix Outlaw will be a superb way for the end user to see what else is out there to accommodate their new sandybridge rig (lets face it, people want to go sandybridge and will be willing to cut back on their case in order to do so.)
If you're interested in such a comparative review, please message me in trust Kul1.

I'd be interested in trying out either of the cases. I would however prefer the Outlaw. Either would be quite interesting though.
What I like:
I like the fact that both cases seem to have functionality that we'd normally only see in much more high end cases. I like the appearances of both actually. Both quite sleek and simple. For the Outlaw I like the inverted layout, I have always wondered why the the layout is as it is, and why GPU's are designed the way they are so you can't see the best bits, but have to see the backs. I also love the fact that you can get so many HDD's in!
Why you should give one to me:
I already do a couple of small reviews for my University newspaper, and as such already have some experience writing reviews.
My current project: Project Ay, is currently slightly delayed, due to unforeseen circumstances, and frankly it would be lovely to get the parts at least into a workable case for use, and therefore the case would probably be being used for a number of months. What is more, the whole concept of the project is based around a budget build, which would be the kind of build the Outlaw or Alpha would fit into well.
I guess another reason would be that I'm currently considering ordering some other BitFenix products so it would be interesting to experience how some of them shape up.
As a side point: Spec that would probably be going into the case:
OCZ ModXStream 500W
ATI 4870 - pumping out a lot of heat would be interesting to see how the case deals with this.
Asus P5Q
4GB DDR2
E8600
Standard DVD drive + a 500GB F3.

I'd be very interested in reviewing a case as my coolermaster 335 is just too small & hot for my current setup, was gonna tranfer it all to my antec p182 but thats far too heavy & your cases look lighter 
Krypton i5 @.4.4ghz
gtx460
CM 700 Igreen psu
I wouldnt wanna mod it just have a nice play with it, really like teh finish to the cases.
Thanx for the consideration

Hi
I would be really interested in sampling and reviewing either of the cases. I was looking at getting the alpha when I was getting a new case a few months ago, but they weren't available at the time and I had to buy a case quickly so I bought a Fractal Design which I'm not overly impressed with.
I feel I would be good for this as building gaming PCs is my full time job. Theres only a handful of mainstream cases I haven't built into, and this would really be an advantage when reviewing.
I really like the simplistic yet quality design to the cases.
Spec going into the case would be:
Asus p8p67 Pro
i5 2500k
Corsair H50 cooler with 2 Apache fans
2 x GTX 460
XFX 850w PSU
2 x HDD
