    *Re-posted due to image hosting fail, previous entry edited to avoid cluttering the thread.*

    For all those that had aspirations to buy the red chassis, I got bored and made these. I couldn't find good pics anywhere and wanted to see what it'd look like (roughly), so this is my guesstimation based on the "making of" flick. It's definitely not impossible that this option be introduced in the future, be it an ATI specific option or otherwise, so for those few that wont already have one by then...

    Never mind the reflections, I wasn't shooting for supposed leaked images, lol.

    M17x Fully loaded I would be all over that... But I guess that's the biggest reason it isn't selling eh?
