Here is a link to the case (2/3 down the page, in green): ASUS Booth

Here is a link to the case (bottom page, in blue with window): ASUS Booth 2

Do any of you know what kind of case this is and if it is available? Before I get rude comments from those that like a silver or beige "box"... I like molded plastic :)

Yay for Asus marketing!
Unless they know something we don't about ATi's PCI-Express implimentation of their new hardware...
But I doubt it.

Those cases kinda look like modified Alienware cases. Never seen them before, maybe Asus had them custom made, who knows...

That would appear to be Asus' own propietary case. If you look at the picture above the first case pic in your first link, you will see the description of the Vento 3600 case/system. It mentions "Magic Mask (smooth open-up cover)", I assume they are talking about the green case. Interstingly enough, they say it supports "PCI-X", not PCI-Express. It also appears to be an ATX form factor, not BTX.

...my guess is also that you can't buy this thing yet...

You know you could have linked directly to the pics rather than cause us modemers to load a whole gol dang page!!!

example: Pic-1 Green

I have been trying to enhance the image to bring out the name on it but the best I can do is VENT the next letter is possibly 'O'. The rest is eaten up with reflections. Perhaps you can find a clearer shot of the legend on it.
Probably they are custom jobs for the show anyway...
