Best part is I got it for free, just had to write a review on it. Those pics dont do the paint job on it justice. The paint is so deep and rich it is really something. Not a bad case either the drive mounting and expansion cards are all tool-less installation with the use of a clipping system. It also comes with 2x 120mm fans that have inline thermal control. I had been using and swore by my trusty Antec but this was too nice and the Antec is in the closet now.

everyone always asks me....is that factory - I'm like...how many car manufacturers do you know that have that? I know for one that Isuzu wouldn't ever go that fancy ;)

I have other computers, just not anything really worthy of mentioning. I do still occasionally use my Compaq Presario 1255 lappy, but I seriously need to replace that with something newer!
