Default check this case, looks mint



Seen this case today in PC World, looks mint. The specs of the PC though where an absolute ripoff.

Case name:Acer Predator

Anyone know where to just buy the case from?

dam, you must have some cash to burn

I don't like the case, tend to like "Lian Li" cases. Which montior do you have mind, Dell 27" (2709W)?

looks more impressive than it actually is, personally, if i were to spend that much on a system (i wouldn't let myself order it) i wouldn't expect to have to replace the mobo, RAM & cooling system to make it's spec worthy of the well impressive looking case, the other componts look fine

It's a bit oTT for my taste also - Been umming and ah-ing over the new antec 900-2 if it weren't so full of blue ultrabright LED's I might have bought it already - these new cases should really have control over the blackpool illuminations they seem obsessed to include with them.

A quick google search search yields this nice tidbit:

Some of Acer's Predator PCs recalled: they'll set your games on fire, but also your desk

Hmm fire hazards in the house - uh no!
