In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger. "You`re one ugly M.F" 
I really think that case is less than pretty, in fact I think it`s ugly as sin.

yes. but just look at the sodding thing! Set to bite your hand off. For all the wrong reasons, that thing will sell, especially if they market co-ordinated screens and keyboards to go.
Sheesh - where will it all end?

Nor mine!
I remember going to a trade show at the NEC some years ago and getting a bee in my bonnet about the boring cases - all the same shade of grey and beige. So I relieved the boredom by going and asking all the various eastern looking chaps why they made such boring cases and suggesting they did something about it. They all looked dumbstruck that someone should actually criticise their products! Hoo hee beeg faat bastud cum tell us ow make computtah case?? Huh?
You can do a lot with electric window winding mechanisms.

Looks alright, but not for me. Plus I don't have enough space for it hehe. I could do with taking a piece of wood off my desk actually, so that more air gets to the side fan, so there's no way that thing would fit.

If you have a look at the gallery on the site it isn't that big really. Seems a real shame they have missed the trick of matching monitor, mouse and keyboard tho' - perhaps there is a market there for custom kits for PCs? Should I patent it?

This is out in June - I have not seen any costs on this yet.
I wonder what it will copycats it will spawn and if it will start a whole new industry in really extreme system boxes.
I also wonder what Antonio Gaudi would have done (Spanish architect who designed the Sagreda Familia Cathedral and the Park Quell and other things in Barcelona - eye wateringly brilliant)?

I think you could be right mate, I expect they will start off some sort of craze for huge chunky cases with random folding door thingies
I don't know what building that is, but I'll google for it hehe.
This is the best pic I could get (on the first page hehe): 
And is this the bit of Park Quell you mean?
