**HOT** Chrome Case $79

Is that chrome covered plastic or steel? If its plastic then I'd imagine it would get funky pretty quick with scratches and such. I can find a better case for $80. Now if its chrome covered steel then thats a whole different story. I'd still like to see it in person before I bought one.

Concerns about a ps. From the way I read it. It looks like it comes with a 400w (cheapo I'd guess) but its not the one you see in the picture.

"The PSVG-400 power supply is the perfect complement to the XKROMA (note: the power supply in the photo is not included)."

Beat me to it 🙂 If that was $30 I'd be more interested. You'd spend more time washing fingerprints and dust off that thing than you would running maintenance on Windows lol.
 
weight is 16lbs, has to be steel. I wish I could see a pic of the top, as I would have to put in a rad and cut holes. And every review I see on it says NO psu...They are just giving you options on what you can buy with it.
 
It also weighs a ton. I'd rather just build my own at that price; you can get even a 25$ cheap-0 aluminum case to have a nice finish if you spend a few hours with a buffing wheel and some Tripoli.
Also, that thing will likely scratch very, very easily.
 
Doesn't look bad at all. And to the guy who said you can make a cheapie aluminum case look as good by polishing it, and then turned around & said that this case would probably scratch easily.... REALITY CHECK: Chrome is a helluva lot more scratch resistant than aluminum.
 
My time is worh more then the 4hrs it would take, plus having to get all the sh!t to do that with...I would just order one. But that is a cool case, non the less. 🙂
 
thanks OP was planning to get this case for a while

EDIT: I emailed customer support about what material these cases are made of and they told me they're made from aluminum.
 
I just got the Titanium version of the case delivered today. No power supply was included. I decided to use this for my first build this weekend.

In the pictures of the titanium version I saw online, it looked like a dull matte finish. I have to say, it is shiny. Quite shiny. Just a little darker tint than the chrome version. Fingerprints will be an issue!

If anyone wants any pictures of it or has any questions, let me know...

 
Just playing around with the case a little more. It is definitely steel.

Unless it is some sort of advanced magnetic aluminum...Just kidding there. Please don't take me seriously there...It's been a long day!
