Aspire X-Cruiser (cont'd)
After installing our standard test bed, we mounted the top fan externally to simulate results as close as possible to an "out of box" cooling setup. Both fans glow blue along with the gauges and lighted areas on the front door. Here are several pictures of the case all lit up.

just because you like the "stealth" look it doesnt mean everybody else doeswhy is there a market for car neons?
why is there a market for phone covers and ringtones?

Well its evident there is a market, but your comparing apples to oranges. Its computer part not something everyone builds themselves. If you have people buying power ranger cases that built computers, then they need a new hobbie..xsilver - Thursday, September 8, 2005 - link
who says you have to build a system yourself?dont your local pc store (not best buy etc) stock their cases from somewhere?
if some 10 year old (or some tryhard that doesnt know how to build his own) wants a pc, what case is he going to choose, crappy bling neons or real aluminium?
dont get me wrong -- I prefer stealth too - but I do realize that there is a market for crappy neons :P

ThermalRock Eclipse looks sweet, although I'd still get a P-180.why would you pay that much for the V1000? rather get a cheaper case like a P-180
oh and primo posto! :)

I was going to to correct you with "primer poste" until I realized you typed the Italian... a race fan should know... *hits himself...*ksherman - Thursday, September 8, 2005 - link
I personally dont think any case should be worth so much... unless it was the MOST amazing theng ever to hit the world... which I dont think the V1000 lives up to. I personally dont like the look of the Eclipse... to flashy, and it actually looks kind of cheap. But it might look different in person. I am a big fan of the Sonata 1 so, I would guess the #2 would be better, but it doesnt seem to include a PSU from what I have seen...Furen - Thursday, September 8, 2005 - link
The Sonata 2 does include a PS: a SmartPower 2.0 450w. The problem with it is the fact that it's quite a bit louder than the original TruePower and the TruePower2 of the newer Sonatas.
