How good are Aspire-brand cases?

[Paktu]

How does Aspire compare to other manufacturers in terms of quality, design, etc.? Specifically, I am looking at one of these two cases:

Is an aluminum case worth the extra $50? Is it that much better than steel?

it's all up to you. if you are going to lug your rig around constantly, then the aluminum might be a better choice.

Some of the Aspire cases are very nice - the aluminum server cases (that look like Antec/Chieftec/etc) for example. The PSUs that they include with their cases are all over the lot from decent to bottom-feeding L&C... I don't care much for their blinged out models.
