Good luck with that, cool looking. I bought an Alienware Labtop Area-51 had the hard drive and monitor crap out on me! within 2-3yr of owning it. Hard drive I was some what ok with, but the monitor on labtop, come on.

I dont me to rain on your computer.

Everything is better on a laserdisc. Whatever happened to the laserdisc? Laserdisc!

They definitely look very cool and have great artwork applied to the cases. Congrads on your purchase. Where are you going to put it? On your desk?

I've never understood though getting cases like that if your going to put it under your desk. It seems like a waste of money for something that hardly nobody will see unless they look under the desk.

Maybe it's so Yoda can keep his girlfriend company down there?

Dark side. Artistically, I just like it better. It has nothing to do with my personality.
As for where its getting put...if my desk had room, I would, most definitely, put it on the deck. Unfortunately, it does NOT. Its going to be on the floor or in a cabinet of the desk (have to see how tall the case is).

You're probably now going to say its a waste, but how I look at it, I'm probably going to keep this case for a long time...if I have to physically replace the motherboard for my next BIG upgrade, this case will be used for a long time.
