$140 is a bit much for something like this. A case should protect your components. It would be neat if they made a case like this but had plexiglass sides to make it look like a pyramid.

Nice idea, but tough sell. I'd just as well make my own. However, I like cases for their noise reduction abilities, so I'll stick with what I've got.

It's actually a great solution for a bench PC where you're constantly swapping out parts for testing. May consider it for my next bench PC build.

if i hadn't gotten too lazy to build my own I would definitely consider this puppy. I leave the sides off most of the time because I forget where I put them.

it does look like it would be nice for swapping components. it's obviously more of a "fashion" case vs. one for protection. i could see this being used in many different business type scenarios (executive office, product demo rooms, seminars, etc). just sort of classy and different.

Oh, well heck, I've always just used the bench. My bad. No really, I do.

Well for instance I have a bench PC (also doubles as a spare gaming system for visiting friends). That PC usually gets all the hand-me downs from the main rig. Right now it's a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 2Gb, with a Geforce 7950GT in a nice big Antec case. It has 2 drive bays with removable trays (1 for SATA and 1 for IDE) to allow me to connect client's drives for testing, repairing or data recovery. But I also just leave the side of the case open so I can easily swap out parts for testing.

Might be nice having one of those Skeletons in it's place although it's rather pricey.
