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)?

BoBBYI986 · 03-03-2009, 07:36 PM

yea that is a nice monitor, not bad price either, decent response time 6ms, good max res size 1920x1200.

was lookin into the samsung syncmasters as well £850 though i don't think so.

It looks like something from a James Cameron film. I prefer the sff dell cases nowadays

Am I just getting old?

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.

You have some cash to burn...or you prefer to misplace the cash you have...Exactly what are you trying to accomplish?

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!
