    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    That thing looks like a transformer threw up on a computer case.

    Yea, not my original thought. I would be reprimanded if I said what I thought.

    You know whats funny that I just thought of? It might just be me though...

    If one of US was to make it from scrap... and we posted it saying that we designed and built this... I bet people would probably like it? What do you guys think? lol

    oh hahahah... especially if it was bid daddy crimson himself who built it! 90 percent of us would probably drool over it! lol

    again.. MIGHT JUST BE ME!?

    I think you're right Snowfire. I'd be impressed by the modding skills if someone had made this out of (e.g.) a Lanboy case, though I wouldn't pretend to like it.

    There is a difference between a bad looking case made in a factory and a bad looking case made by hand.
    You know that's what the person wanted, even if we think it looks like utter crap.
    Drool over it? No. Not a chance.
    The V for Vandetta case is something to drool over.

    That is a good point... factory build and modder built are pretty darn different. lol

    The V for Vendetta case is pretty amazing! Can't wait for that one to be finished! Well... actually I can. It's always fun to watch the progress ^^

    Haha you guys are such mod snobs. It's a little flashy but I'd take it over any old beige cloner. Cases like that are made for people who don't have the time, money, tools, or knowledge to mod their own case. I don't see too many cases on the market trying to do something about thermal issues, which the Nighthawk apparently does with it's PSU area on the bottom under a panel, a large front intake, and an outtake located in the rear ontop of the case, where the heat is really going to travel. And for $99, I'm sure you're not buying an aluminum piece of junk.

    And besides, ABS is primarily a computer hardware distributer. They don't really try to be tough **** that they know they aren't.

    I can show you plastic ass.

    The thing is I like the layout of the chassis, but not the finished palstics. I like the side, but not the front.

    Maybe soon a custom case company will figure out how to please most of the people most of the time. They would be able to offer an option of chassis(short/mid/tall tower), with skin options. Pick the chassis that suits your needs and add the skins of your choosing. Hey could be a business there...
