Quote from Jakg :

Without being unduly harsh - it's my money.

I know it's a lot of money on a case, but i've had my current one 5 years - I plan on keeping my new one just as long.

I ponied up and got a Lian-Li case back in 2003 I think it was. More money than I needed to spend but I'd say its worth it over the long run. Love the removable HDD bay and motherboard tray, the money was worth it when it saves you time upgrading stuff. Had it 6+ years now and I have no plans to replace it, been through countless hardware upgrades but I see no reason to get a new case any time soon.
