Antec Skeleton

Just saw this PC case on DL.TV (I'm a few weeks behind...):

ugly as arse.
im not saying the structure is crap (which previously mentioned coke spill confirms it it)
I'm saying the materials used to make the thing look cheap and plasticy

The only fucking job of a pc case is to protect the internal parts, which this completely fails to do.  I wouldn't even use that if someone paid me.  Even if someone gave me a free computer using that frame I would take all the parts out and put it in a real case.

LOL you newbs, it's not meant for PC Gamers - it's meant for PC builders!
It's a test rig, to test the latest and greatest PC parts.  Perfect for reviewers who have to benchmark new equipment.  Even better for overclockers with too much spare cash who want to try and pump the latest and greatest CPU/Graphics card until they see the smoke pouring out.
Also Franger; talking about 'protecting' internal parts of a PC, how long as your case been missing a side for now? :P
Back in the day we used to have gamers come to LAN's and build their computer ON THE SPOT!

None of this sissy 'put your parts in a case' business.

Yeah, most of the outside aesphetic parts are plastic AFAIK, would've been better if they were aluminium.
Got a point about the footprint though, wouldn't really fit on my desk. I've never really had spillage problems, though I wouldn't take a case like that to a LAN :/
I think the price is a bit off too, for a skeleton you'd expect it to cost a fraction of a standard case.
Either way, looked like an interesting change from the standard rectangular box format :D
EDIT (re Blade's comment): Yeah, it's meant for tweakers. Considering all the grief I've had lately with my new PC (I'm never going to Gamedude again if I can avoid it) something like this may have come in useful :)

Looks terrible and it will cost way too much.

Same, a couple of times at least.

And John I may be missing the side but i tend to keep it protected as best i can.

I still think that you're hard-pressed to beat Moose's "Ghetto-PC"

Imagine a cardboard box, the kind you get fruit and shit in.

Now imagine, moose's new computer bits have arrived, but his new case hasn't.

Now imagine, a motherboard, HDDs, graphics card and PSU all cabled together sitting in said cardboard box, with a desk fan blowing on it.
