While the Case isn't the prettiest ... it's got one of the best handles I've ever seen on a stock case. Plus it can look downright incredible with a custom paint job using flat military like paints.

My vote for Ugliest case is all the damn cases with cheap plastic fronts made to look like cars. What really pissed me off about them is they were some of the only cases with integrated handles.
 
If only it was called the gandalf. To bad thermaltake couldn't afford that copyright. Instead, i have the Kandalf. Next best thing, everything sounds good with K infront of it.

I think I just found the next case for my little cousin...

The Thermaltake Kandalf isn't horrible looking, but I prefer the look of the Armor instead. However, I love the look of the case I bought. Apparently they decided the right their wrongs with this version. 😀

Bah im tempted to get one to move my media center over from armor to that kandolf LCS. Armor Pwns almost all the cases in interior layout. The extra rear hd cage is serious ownage.

And honestly there was a case that looked like the nokia 8890 series phone. You remember that legendary phone back in the late 90's earily 2000 that slid down. Made of Either chrome or blueish gray magnesium casing?

I think that case pwns the kitty case more

Just be careful. Understand that the (awesome-looking) front door to the case has the radiator hanging on it, which adds a lot of weight. Even though it has a sturdy all-metal hinge design, it still prefer to open and close it as few times as possible. The entire case, WITHOUT any components installed, weighs around 40-50lbs.

I would have to say logisys takes the cake for overall worst case designs. Just an example.

I've never liked Thermaltake cases much either....especially their older Xaser series.

but what if you play countless hours of LOTR Battle For Middle Earth 2 😉 (kidding)... just looks very sauron-ish....
