Not my thing at all....looks tacky.

Would look better if it was more square, so the height of the sides was the same length as the width of the base. Basically I think it is too tall.

I had the idea of creating a pyramid case a while ago but I thought it would look a bit tacky or too big to get everything inside.

On the 3rd page there's an 8800GT in there, so I'm guessing its bigger than some people above thought.

I quite like the one in the Guru3d pics, although it does look very un-practical

i maybe wrong but i'm sure an 8800gt is only about 9" long where as an 8800gtx is about 10.6" and most of the newer cards are around this length also. that 8800gt in the pic is right up to the edge of the case, so no more room for anything remotely bigger.

The Luxor Luxor Pyramid actually increased CPU temperatures by 22°C compared to an open platform, even when using a moderately-efficient processor and graphics card with an ultra-efficient power supply.

Their article is worth reading for a laugh...especially if anyone's even remotely thinking this case looks good.

I think it looks cool, at least it's different. The guru3d pictures look better tho, but i still probably wouldn't buy it.

Aren't Antec releasing a similar looking case soon :confused:

Triumph of impracticality!
Only thing that can be said from it.

You mean the 'Skeleton'?
More like a test bench tbh.

At first I thought it was rubbish, after a 2nd look I think the rubbishness would wear off after a few micro seconds and become utter 'light'.

fixed
