cool G4 tower like case for PC's at CompUSA

[Ginta]

I was at the local CompUSA the other week and saw a case there for building pc's that had a MB tray that folded out the hinged side of the case like that of the Apple G3/G4 tower design. It's labled as a tool-less design and has front usb and sound ports. The sku is 276255 and the url to it is http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product%5F
Personally I found the demo model they had open kinda flimsy and unprecisionly manufactured but it's the first case like it I have -ever- seen for the PC in my 3+ years searching since I first saw the blue G3 towers. Has anyone seen any PC case's like this before?

Linkified.

I too like the idea of having a fold out MB tray. I think this is going to become more prominent in PC cases in the future.

I saw another case that had the fold out tray called "The Submarine" I think. The only problem was it was ALL plastic and really cheesy looking.

what about us guys with the super neatly tucked away ide cables? if you flip out the motherboard tray won't all the wires fall out of place?

or am i the only one?

I found the review of the "Submarine" over at Tom's Hardware and you were right on it being cheesy. The Comp case has a metal interior frame and plastic skin. I'm just suprised that the big case manufactures (ie. Antec, Enlight, Palo Alto) haven't picked up on this design years ago. The front usb and sound ports are a first as well as is the small CD compartment on the top from of the case.
