Nice looking case. I am sure the computers from them are way over-priced, though. What I wouldn't give to just get my hands on one of the cases to build my own PC. http://www.custompcmax.com

Acer's machines are far from over priced, they're typically extremely affordable if not THE most affordable machines around.

I keep hoping this stays true with this machine because most the machines I've seen with 8Gigs of RAM are stupid expensive. The box isn't the fastest one out there maxing the FSB out at 1333 unless overclocked. Either way it's nice to see Acer pushing the 32bit era out of existence with the 8 gigs of ram stock although the site makes it sound like there will be a few models with less then 8 gigs.

The case is awesome though, I've always been a fan of modded cases etc but this thing is awesome, I love the stock color and with that front grill up it looks like the combine that devourers City 17 from Half Life 2~!

I'm not sold on the case. It looks like a grade schooler designed it.
