Understatement of the year.

Form < Function.

Maybe Apple and Alienware are cheating off each other's notes.

Considering their name, Alienware, it fits them very well. However I'd hope they can give a choice on case style. Anyone know who manufactures this case?

Yea.. I was thinking of the same thing.

And for people that say that they would take their beige case anyday. Bleh... I will not own another boring beige case ever again.

And.. form < function

I have to disagree with that to a certain extent. Of course, if you have a beautiful case and it doesn't adequately cool your comp or doesn't house your drives properly then I will definitely agree function is king. But if you compare a killer looking case such as the coolmaster lineup and you put it side by side to an cheap looking, boring beige case which does eveything well, I'll bet that you'll have more pride in the better looking case.

Why do you think apple had a huge resergence in the late 90's with their computers? A lot of it had to do with the style of Apple's case. It looked different, stylish and it didn't look... boring.

Yeah, it looks pretty cool, but alienware is still too expensive

Here are the Klipsch GMX D-5.1. The article said they are going to be availible in Feb and retail for $299. Sounds like a pretty good deal!

They don't look very functional.

It still looks like its based on an Antec/chieftech/chemming. If you look at the back panel, you see the classic 2 rear exhaust fans there. Perpaps alot of side panels?

 

[Jmmsbnd007]

Fugly IMO. Looks kind of girly and trendy. Doesn't really convey the idea of power.

I agree. Alienware is almost like id, everyone seems to conform to their standards. Alienware changed probably because everyone had that boxy case with the top that opens. SOHO makes them for CyberPower.

BTW, alienwares blow.

it's nice looking

 

[boyRacer]

Well i'm sure it's by Chenming still... just a different side and front bezel... at least it looks like an alien.

I would take it and remove the grill on the back.

I think they finally woke up and saw everyone had those Antec/Chieftec/Chenming... and whatever else they are... Looks nice... something different.

Yes, but does their new case make their PCs worth $500 more than the competition?
