    When Mercedes brought their C111 to Talledega years ago and blew away the closed course record did it count? Yes..
    That was a "factory" car and a "one of" that no one could buy and was never sold.
    Records are records and that is a fact so get over it.

    I call it FUGLY, what stands for "effing ugly" and that's exactly what it is.

    I don't like plastic cases... Though the Hot-Swap-HDDs are nice.
    Notice any grammar or spelling mistakes? Feel free to correct me! Thanks

    Does it turn into an "autobot"?

    this case is so good that it makes me question why all other cases are so bad.

    I think if that was made out of steel that would definitely have been one of the best cases on the market, its a shame you can't just buy the case

    that's pretty pimp.
    In short, both AMD and NVIDIA discovered that their next-generation graphics cards are superior to each others' last-generation graphics cards.

    It looks monstrous and over the top.
    However you gotta love the details.
    Lots of work put into this one. Great work Acer. I'm pleasantly surprised

    Too much plastic for my likes, and an awkward front bezel.
    But it has a very nice color scheme - orange and black are a match on anything.
    You were not supposed to see this.

    You'd have to unplug all your USB devices everytime you wanted to lift the front up wouldn't you?

    Wow! I think that thing looks awesome. Then again, I have an affinity for huge armor plate type things.

    lol, the design artist on that one went crazy... it has an awesome detail level - but somehow that's exactly what i don't like about it. there's too much of, well, anything

    especially the front looks horrible, imo.

    btw, imagine cleaning that beast

    Does anyone associate Acer with something else except cheap and low quality? No, yet its aimed at wanna be leet kiddies that want to impress their friends... so how should that work? even if it ticks the same bragging rights boxes as Aerocool, Sunbeam, NZXT and the likes Cases in the design department one would have to hide it due to it being a Acer, so it cant even be used to brag little wanna be kids.
    Just build your own pc... no acer tag on it and you can get a better looking case.

    Yup. take a look at the RAM used. It doesn't even have heatspreaders on. hehehe Value RAM maybe.

    Pointless post... I myself remove every heats spreaders on RAM, they are more of heat holders than heat spreaders

    naked ramchips FTW.
    Are we there yet?
