Case looks cool, but the lack of tool-less design and cramped spaces ruins it for me. When you can get a case with more space and a tool-less design for 1/3 the price, I can't see why anyone would get this. And if you stick to that price range, that case doesn't even come close to what's out there, IMO. My case from 4 years ago is better, and back then it cost me $110.

Holy frak, it's a Cylon! 
Sorry, but that's 0 for 2 for me with case reviews lately. Too spaceship/alien looking for my taste. I'm sure plenty will like it though. Also, like Clay said, for the price there are just too many other options with better offerings.
