dell are going down a bit...... wekll they have been for a while
Erm...
I really dislike Dell a lot (for many, many reasons), but lost the plot? Have you seen their current cases?! This is definatly better. Its coated in plastic (ugh), but its a hell of a lot better than the awful plastic ex-server xps boxes they have now. These do have a 'design' to them and they've given it more though then 'Oh - why don't we use an old workstation case and attach a blue LED or two?'
Seems like they have thought of the user with a case that uses light to illiuminate the I/O and is slanted to allow access. Also, if those panels open like a normal case and not like Dell's scissor design, then that's better.
Still plastic boxes, yes, but an improvement. This case has more taste than most gamer cases. I mean, come on, you wernt expecting Dell to use Lian-Li's now were you? They have huge profit margins to consider.

I dont think anyone said they were, I did say that it was 'coated' in plastic though, as is the typical style with Dells, by which I mean lots of plastic.
I just wonder though why people think these cases are worse than Dell's current stuff, or how this indicates they are going down hill?! If anything, I'd say this is a clear sign Dell are listening to the market and learning from companies they own, such as Alienware.

Only the front is plastic nothing else Alu_ATC
Wrong, looks like the back is plastic also.
You would to save the hassle you may percieve is involved in building your own system, as long as the case holds the system safely, without to much noise and with good reliability then the Dell case is perfect for its intended purpose.
You would not buy the case on its own, but when bundled as a whole package why not, looks much nicer than a lot of the gaming cases out there currently, would have one over a Vento if I was buying.

It looks ok in black and silver. Can't see it being a dell mind...
Some nice ideas though, the light above the I/O panel is nice.
The red one is horrid.

Wow those are really weird, i know style is just a matter of opinion etc.. but to me those look really dated already. Like some kind of electric heater from the mid 80's or something lol.
