Well, I am glad you like. But I think it is one of the ugliest cases I have ever seen!! lol

Those have been around for a couple years. I actually saw one in the store and was fiddling with it. Its a piece of crap. The door (or "mask" as ASUS calls it, is very cheap and was broken on all the models that were out of the box. That made me make up my mind on not buying one. I was considering it since I thought at the time that they were kind of cool looking. But at over $200 Canadian, it was a rip for sure. Nice paint job though. Looks almost automotive quality.
I really think yopu should try to see one in person, before you buy it.
A couple of other problems, the side door it almost impossible to get back on once off, under 10 minutes because it has a tube that leads to the CPU fan for "extra" ventalation.
Not counting the cheap construction of the front door ("mask") it pops open fast enough to play a game of tennis with (if only they could have used some sort of low grade hydraulic mechanism, it would be a keeper).
And the rear bracket used to hold and organize the cables and wires at the back is also extra cheap and flimsy and breaks easliy.

matt summed up nicely my opinion, also saw it in person, worthless n00b case, total crap, perhaps someday it'll be worthwhile, if they can make some serious improvements.

I've built two PCs with this case for guys at work and I must agree with the comments above. I was going to buy one until I saw them. Front door is crap. Very easy to break. For sure not worth that money. Sorry to bust your bubble V
