A case for guys who have their case open 95% of the time anyway, makes sense.

I'd have got one a few years ago but now I'm sure my kid would be attracted to this like a magnet, putting every metal toy into it he could.

And I was thinking, if there was 1 guy who would get this on CP, it would be you.

Not a big fan of how it's designed. Unwieldy with a large footprint and inefficient with space. I'd rather have the motherboard vertical.

Well as the article said, Antec was targetting that small % of nerds that like to have their case open anyways, its not really designed for fashion. If you look at the pics, you can see pullout drawers for the motherboard, HD, etc.

I doubt it. Given its aimed towards the 2% of computer users, and Calgary isn't the high-tech capital of the world, it wouldn't make sense to have it there. I bet you'd have to buy it OEM.

Strange, I thought the whole reason a place like MemX existed was to sell items to that few % points electronics oriented person.

The same person who buys the latest over priced video card, or the person who has 3 fully functional comptuers even though you only need 1.

I guess we will see if MemX offers it on their site.

Ask Memory Express. If someone showed an interest, I'm sure they could order it.

NCIX has it

It's nice and all... but the footprint is wider than my existing tower, so it wouldn't fit.

Saw this a little while ago, pretty slick. Would certainly make me blow the dust out of my machine more often.
