With each BMW PC, you get a certificate. It confirms that you own the internet.

Does a giant penis also appear on the roof of your house so everyone knows you're a cock?  _________________ He fights for the users.

I'm thinking that case won't be much good for the average hardcore PC gamer that likes to get inside the thing, though maybe they like to build their own systems to begin with anyway...

Exactly what I thought as soon as I read the title of the thread.

It looks like it is the other way round, it looks easier than normal to get at the individual components... I like the drive bay with riser. I had something similar on the AOpen based machine I build in 2004. I set it up with hot-swap SATA bays using Icydock. That these are built in and look slick is a bonus, plus the fact the wiring is properly routered. Likewise, being able to open the external drive bay compartment, without having to expose the rest of the machine is good. I like the separate housing for the PSU as well. It isn't the prettiest of cases, but it has some very nice and interesting concepts.

It looks like there is plenty of room for cards, reading the unpacking article, and all the needed wires are pre-routed, so you don't need to mess with them.

There's something about the case in the OP that I quite like.

It has more than an air of military utilitarianism that you see in many sci-fi films. That would not look out of place on the Sulaco, or in Deckard’s office, for example. I think you get the idea. It’s familiar because it’s got a number of cues from places the target audience will appreciate. It will date alarmingly. It already reminds me of the Sinclair QL and the modular appearance of many home computers from the 1980’s.
