I wouldn't pay that much for a case even if it is 'amazing', sorry.

I would rather spend the money of other parts.

Thing is, I'm sure there will be people that will pay it, the case wouldn't exist otherwise.

I guess if you're the kind of person that looks at it and thinks "HOW MUCH!?" (and I do), this isn't a case for you.

Duuude... how can you call that ONLY 529.99. You can upgrade to sandybridge for that kind of money and put it in a case less than half the price - hell infact 1/4 of the price and still cool it perfectly well.

Insane price!

can i ask why is this £52 more then a rival retailer?

Ryan-3 · 3 Feb 2011 at 15:44

I was starting to think, time to go wtercooling in this case?

Then I read the price. Just NOT worth that.

gatecrasherlok · 3 Feb 2011 at 15:54

I'd rather use it somewhere else in my system. Thats pretty steep for a case.

Hey,

Even if it was the same price here its still insane for a piece of metal. They are getting far far too greedy (manufacturers)

I could have done with space for 15 drives with my last build (Unraid storage server) but I spent that amount on the whole thing....including the Pro licence for Unraid itself lol

Sure it looks good (not great though) but ************ never pay that in a million years

bulldog147 · 3 Feb 2011 at 17:00

This case isn't worthy £529.99 (madness and very silly pricey)

Semtax · 3 Feb 2011 at 17:08

I still want to see someone build with it though

Semtax · 3 Feb 2011 at 17:09

I suppose if you did spend all that money on it you would have some consolation in knowing that very few other people will have it.

On the other hand I think i would be embarrassed to tell someone that i spend 529 on a case :confused:

bulldog147 · 3 Feb 2011 at 17:21

£529.99 anyone want it for a new case ?

mrteabag · 3 Feb 2011 at 17:24

Any good for watercooling?

neologan · 3 Feb 2011 at 19:11

The Corsair 800D is so much nicer than this and half the price. Heard people saying the Corsair is overused and this one will be exclusive. Yeah, you'll be an exclusive **** imo

Plus, exclusive on a car, i can understand this. Exclusive in a case = get a life you nerd, and quick.

Get the Corsair, and even that is not cheap by anymeans.

Who do you think you are speaking to the forum like that?

I'm far more likely to spend money on a nice PC than I am on a nice car. If I do it'll be for me and not everybody else to look at. I'd rather be spending money on something I like, that gives me contentment, rather than spending it on a car so that other people perceive me differently.

As for the case I like it. I went WC in a full tower maybe 5 or so years ago, and this would have been a far better case for me.

CAPTAINBUMFLUFF · 3 Feb 2011 at 19:29

Things huge!!! Could use it as a wardrobe

Locky · 3 Feb 2011 at 19:37

It's 50 quid to much.

Cookeh · 3 Feb 2011 at 19:45

£530 for a hideous case when a £80 decent looking one will do pretty much the same thing!

I'm not speaking to the forum like anything, i'm speaking to those who actually are seriously considering buying this overpriced, ugly case that the Corsair makes look like a joke imo. And that amounts to about 2-3 people, not the forum.

And what i mean about being a nerd to want exclusivity, i mean this: To buy a case because it's less used than another one, pay £250 more for it and get a case no better in looks or design is ridiculous. If the case looked better or was better (£250 better, just no), you could argue a point to it. But to want it JUST because its rarer is silly.

If this case came in at £350, i'd still say it looks like a kids toy (it does) but i'd understand it exisitng (it is aluminium afterall). But at £500 here, silverstone deserve to sell none. And what are those side holes all about? Just mental case imo, not a classic at all, not like the TJ07.
