How much is it?

Not the cost of the materials, the work time that goes into making them ;)
Not to mention S&H :(

SilverPriest gets the point!! Just remember when first lian-li appeared in the market there were so expensive but now getting lower (still expensive I know) because more na dmore people buying then so they can cut down total cost.

Acrylic cases are pretty new, only a few makers would invest money on them and the market demand is still big question.

Our first batch should arrive within 10 days but I don't know the final cost yet, should be somewhere between PC60 and PC65 I think!

That would look cool with the red/blue bits it black, and then black periperials, and spraypaint the PSU black :D.

I'd much rather have this than Lian Li.

Now that n00bs are buying Lian Li, and they are visible all over the place, I don't want one.

Grrr!!

Transpearant fan? Makes the case even better. Fire a laserpointer into it as a case mod.

Know you'd just put the side off a normal case on so that there was part of it that they couldn't see through.

eh? there is no way that an acrylic case should be more than a alu one, the only reason there so overpriced is coz the look 1337. IMHO It would be easier for a company to make acyrlic cases than alu ones.
Grrr!!

One point

=MASS PRODUCTION=

That is why an acrilic case such as this is more expensive than an Aluminium case at the moment.

haha it's interesting to see people always have different opinions either good/bad, we welcome any coments because there is no "perfect products" and besides we are not the maker ^^

Talking about product development I think there are too may factors invloved, from the very original idea to the final product you need go though lots of trial and sometimes brainpower cost more than raw material. "Think" is hrad but "Copy" is easy that's why you see in N.Z you can buy a cheap alu case with PSU for under $250, or from mid-range lian-li to the very highend coolermaster.

I think these look l33+ but I wouldn't get one simply because I have replaced the window in my case twice because it got scratched. Imagine the mess this would get in after a few lans.

But nice very nice. I can imagine some incredible things happening with lighting in these!
