It's by Lepont Electronics, and it's called the Atlas SF-201-x. It has a slide out mainboard+card tray, removable HDD cage, drive rails, etc. What distinguishes it, though, is that it has six 80mm fans, and this is a mid-tower (competing with the PC-6x, ATC-201, and ATC-210). Two intake, two exhaust, one blowhole, and one side exhaust. In addition, for you form over function types, it has a glass sheet on the front ala ATC-210 style. Dan's Data (http://www.dansdata.com/atlas.htm) has already reviewed it, and it looks good. Finding a distributor is a bitch, but I found one in North America that sells it for $197, minus PSU. It could be a knock off, but I'll take the risk (and subsequently let you guys know about it). Here's (http://store.yahoo.com/iitemcom/kwitoolalcas.html) the North American distributor.

EDIT: Technically it's an aluminum-magnesium alloy case.

I would like to see someone make an aluminum case that is not so generic looking.

Give me some round edges, a door, something.

Looks like a decent case, but too colorful. Nice cooling, too.

That's because it is the EXACT SAME CASE. And it is only $149 at directron.

http://www.directron.com/mg.html Directron rivets the top panel on, though. Mwave sells these under their house name as well.
