    MSI's Stealth Case Catches Fire!

    One of our reviewers got an MSI stealth computer case to review... little did he know it had a few flaws.

    The fire was most likely caused by the cable short-circuiting with the chassis, or each other. Simple case of it rubbing the insulation off, and shorting out.

    Jeesh, never thought something this small would make the headlines. Wtf is the world coming to.

    You are on a computer website what are you expecting? Actual day to day news? This is news if you are looking at this case, it shows what crap their QC and if it was that easy to rub through the wires sheathing then that shows they are using cheap crap parts.
