Very well built and heavy thick metal.

VB, not trying to start a fight with you or nething..sorry if you took it that way..

why would you want heavy thick metal though? Just makes it heavier..not like you need a really really strong case

cheap thin metal cases tend to bend around the motherboard area (my old one did) and the flimsyness of a thin case makes it harder to attaach things like cd drives, hard drives and fans (expecially fans).

having things not line up right is very annoying.

Finally, get a case without a window.
Problem solved.

Still not wire management, thats just avoiding the problem

An interesting philosophical problem.
Analogous to the standard "If a tree falls in the forest..." question.

"If you can&#39;t see the wires, then do you need to manage them?"

No, I didn&#39;t take it that way at all.

I have found this problem to be especially prevalent in aluminum cases.
The Xaser was a particularly egregious example...it flexed so badly that installing the sidepanels was a two person affair.

Since I don&#39;t carry my PC to LAN parties I couldn&#39;t care less about the weight and have come to really appreciate the old, overbuilt boxes.
Not only are they extremely sturdy, but you can pick them up for a song ( and I&#39;m a terrible singer).
This means that I can feed my modding fantasies with very little cash outlay.

A good thing, IMO.
