    That legit looks like some helmet you buy as cosmetic headgear in some free scifi MMORPG. I really don't like it at all.

    I like it because it would turn heads at a LAN party, which is not easy to do. That said, I don't like dropping money on a case that I could spend on components, so you're hearing an opinion from a guy who had a beige box for years and then a black case ever since.

    A bit too flashy/busy for my tastes.

    Also, eyyoo SC people! (Used to live in Greenville/Clemson for awhile)

    invading caselab cube / stackable type case was a good move because it introduced competition into a market segment that's long been gouged out by a single company


    caselabs even issued out a formal apology because their accusation was too aggressive

    Here we are again. You really should go through with a KTM-themed build. :D

    As for my opinion on the case, I think it looks busy, with too many panels, creaks and bends that only serve an aggressive aesthetic purpose. I think it would be a pain to keep dust-free as well. Then again, I'm minimalist and don't particularly like the Mad Catz R.A.T. or overly angular car design either, while many do. What's important is that it would fit your components nicely and look good doing it to you.

    Since this thread started, I must admit I've warmed up a bit to the monochrome version of the Conquer. Watching JayzTwoCents doing a build in it helped.
