Anyone ever try out them Xkroma cases at geeks?

There are reviews out there... It's good sized but all flash, no cash. Doesn't even sport 120mm fan mounts. I'd choose the Kingwin SK523 over that any day - lots of casitude for low bucks.

on another note, I decided to get this case mostly for the looks and cuz it looks like something that's easy to work in. I just want to make sure I'm not buying flabby pieces of metal that barely hold together. Also want to know if anyone received this case damaged on arrival.
 
Air flow looks very restricted.

Seems to have all the qualities of a generic case but with the addition of bling, lame.
 
This is the worst made case I have ever seen.

I was in a TigerDirect store and was SUCKED IN by the flashy finish, but the finish ends at the outsides of the panels. Inside the side panels is overspray. The metal is paper thin. I could crush the case by standing on it.

See the reflection of the LCD in the side panel on Geek's site? See how it's wavy? That's because the steel is so thin that it's wavy and reflect in every direction. You know... like a giant disposable cookie sheet.

Hands down, the worst case I have ever seen. If you're familiar with how crappy BCC and Apex are and then hear me say that I would rather have one of them over the Xkroma, then you would understand how crappy these cases are.

Saw one in Fry's.

I'd agree with that completely.

I don't think he was asking for recommendations. I think he was just asking if anyone had experience with the Xkroma. The mirror finish is rather eye-catching, so it's natural to have an attraction to it.

That's fine, actually, I encourage recommendations as I am looking to buy another case for my existing system. Have an aging raidmax w/ sidewindow and alternating lights in front (in my sys rigs page under notes) and decided to retire it real soon.. Thanks everyone!
