As a full Zalman product maybe, but I refuse to buy a case with FATAL1TY written all over it knowing its a gamer much better than me...
just messes with my ego too much if you know what I mean...

dito.
The case design isnt to pretty but having a huge F and the name Fatality several times printed on the case makes it even more ugly.

The other design they had was better looking. It was shown in a pic w/ their Reserator.

Fatal1ty's name is on just about every piece in that case. they even use the Fatal1ty motherboard. does Fatal1ty get paid for all this crap with his name on it?

Its not entirely a bad looking case if it was just more even. Definitely not 370 bucks worth of case, maybe 120. But with all the crap logoing on it, they should be paying ME to have the damn case. Why the hell should I be a walking advertisement for Fatality? Cuz im 31337? And 80mm fans in the front? Wtf? Crackheads.
Its small, so it would probably be alright for Lanning, but there are definintely a slew of better cases for the job. Way overpriced, way too tacky. Just a new low for the already pitiful sellout-line of fataility products.

I'd buy that if it had NO markings on it, and didn't have LED fans. Looks like a decent midsize case, just sad to see it got crapped on with advertising and sponsorship.

@Killnine. Those are 92mm fans which gives you more airflow than a single 120mm fan. I would consider buying this if it lacked the fatality logos and was cheaper. They go together really, the only reason it costs so much is because of the F logos. Otherwise it looks all right.
I've got a V2000 plus for my main rig but a smaller mid tower like this would be nice to carry round to friends houses. Shame that what Zalmann are offering here isn't up to scratch.

people are being a bit harsh on this case.
its a very nice looking case.
but it is true that the price is too high and havinf fatality on it makes it looked retarded.
asides from those two gripes it looks really nice.

Yea more Fata1ty crap. Lol, the case costs $370 on sale. I remembered there was a Zalman Fatal1ty CPU cooler which costed $67. Why? Because it had his name on it and the fan had a red LED 
When will companies realize no one gives a damn about his name. We just want performance at a good price.
