    It is an ugly computer case.
    Hell, it would be an ugly anything. It has a fat ass and nothing upstairs.
    Air scoops on a stationary object? Give me a break.
    The pseudo F1 look went out about 15 years ago.

    I'm not gonna vote because I think it could be cool to someone that likes that kind of look but it's not my cuppa tea.

    Exactly what I was thinking. Looks like one of the Storm Troopers helmets.

    It could also be compared to an oversized electric razor. Flip up the vertical door on top, and expect to see a beard trimmer. Maybe I would need to see it close up.

    Magic Mask – Vertical Front Panel
    Press down the front door and it then swings smoothly upwards. Users no longer have to worry about slamming the door against items on their desks.
    Yeah. Now you can slam the door against the top of your desk, instead of the side.
    <br>
    Sleek and Stylish
    The VENTO 3600 comes in green, red and blue. Its UV paint coating gives off a shinning waxed look and prevents scratches that ruin the appearance of the PC.
    A "shinning" waxed look? My girlfriend waxes her shins, and the rest of her legs, too. She'll be pleased to know it makes her look "Sleek and Stylish".
    <br>
    Excellent Ventilation Technology
    Supporting a 8cm fan at the front and a 12cm fan at the rear, the VENTO 3600 maximizes airflow inside the system for efficient heat dissipation. The side ventilation hole with air duct further pulls in cool air to lower CPU temperature.
    Two whole fans, to say nothing of the "hole". Wowsers, that thing must practically hover.
    <br>
    Rich Expandability
    With four 5.25-inch and four 3.5-inch drive bays, six PCI slots, one AGP 8x slot, four USB 2.0 ports and two audio ports, users can install a host of optical drives, hard disks, sound cards, LAN cards and peripherals simultaneously.
    With the exception of MicroATX, so does nearly every other case in the world.
    <br>
    Easy Component Installation
    Turn the knob and open the side swivel door just like opening a normal door. This tool-less design permits users to access the chassis interior without the hassle of screws and screwdrivers.
    Nice. So the next time you're at a LAN Party and step out for two minutes to take a leak the guy next to you can swipe half your ram.

    Prof decides to stop, before he gets accused of being a bitter old man. ;D

    It's ugly as hell, but I'll tell you what... if that case had 4 120mm fans in it (2 in the front, 2 in the back) I'd buy it. As ugly as that fascia is, it's great for airflow. Too bad the 80mm front fan can't push enough air to use it.

    The orange car, while still rice, is tasteful in its own right. Everything fits on that car. The red car however, well it looks like someone vomited and out came a red car.

    As for the case, I voted ugly, but I still like it. It's different. My first thought was also red storm trooper, which I'm sure is the look they were going for.

    That case looks like Master Chief should be wearing it on his head.

    I think it's butt ugly too and the door mechanism seems like it would fail rather quickly.

    Other than that I would read a full review of the thing just to see if the design has accomplished anything in the thermal arena. I doubt it would but I would read the review.

    I voted in Ugly column. But with that said, I'm not sure if it's any worse than the Xaser series. (Hope I didn't step on too many toes.) Below is the case that I used for my first home-built computer. It was actually a very good case, but very heavy, and ..... funky looking.

    Xaser.. Do not speak of such foul evils in this forum, lest ye anger the gods of sensibility and aesthetics by drawing on that name of sordid and ill repute!

    I was thinking it should come with a respirator sound effect generator.
