Interesting "industrial" style case from Thermaltake

The SwordM case; not sure what to make of it.

haha that is such an ugly case!

What is up with those things that poke out the front?

And the back panel - yuk
And who needs gas lifters on the panels?

I mean often I find myself thinking: "man these side panels are SO heavy! My geeky little arms just cannot lift them, I wish someone could design a hydraulic system to lift it for me...."

Yay, enter thermaltake

I'm not to hip on the "wings" on the front top and bottom. They don't serve any practical purpose, detract from the aesthetics and look to me like an invitation to injury.

Also, it appears that the hydraulic struts on the top might be a limiting factor in regards to PSU length.

If it's all aluminum (bezel and side panels included), it has some great potential. They just have to ditch the wings...

*Edit *gasp* I just found one for sale; US$659. No thanks, I'd rather get a much better made Lian Li for 1/3 the price.
