New Alienware PC Case.

You have to admit. It is pretty cool but I'd like to see the insides. If this starts another PC case design revolution (I hope) then PC cases should become pretty funky.

    First time I've seen that case was in an Alienware add. That was quite a few months ago.

    But are they available as a seperate case ?

    As far as I am aware, the cases aren't. Only available as full rigs ;)

    In any case, its just about as ugly as they come IMO.

    Usually when I do "Ugliest cases" roundups, I don't include this case...But hey, first time for all.

    :o

    I love the white w/ blue lights (cathodes?). I bet if sold separately it would cost too much. The normal antec/chenbro cost like $80 before.

    From everything I've read, they are not available seperately, and the case itself from an asthetic standpoint, was designed by one of the guys that did the designs for the movie Alien. Pretty cool looking IMO.

    Wug, it's actually based on the same chassis as the Antec/Chenming cases that've become so common, so I don't think the case is plastic. I think they do it the same way the G3/G4 case was done- they put acrylic pieces over the metal panels to add the color and make it shiny... I think this is probably done the same way. That is, a metal case with a plastic skin...

    Expensive, look cool(ish) but not worth the price they charge for a system...

    These have also been out since June as a mate was going to buy an Alienware.

    I want a G5 Clone Case so I can drop a Dual Opteron (or Dual Athlon MP) into it and Show Mac Users how a real computer performs! ;D;D;D

    I liked the older cases better than these new ones. The older ones looked better.
