It's the first piece in my long overdue new computer :)

Lian Li PC-V1000b (www.lian-li.com/product.php?action=viewPD&prdid=1206&PHPSESSID=0278a2cc0f43906579a8d01e9bd82756)

That's kind of a Power Mac G5 ripoff. Nice looking though.

Yeah but without the hideously ugly handles (instead it has hideously ugly wheels :( ). Plus it's got an entirely different interior layout than standard ATX cases. I like it.

The handles are a Power Mac trademark. I don't think they're ugly at all. And they're especially useful when you need to transport your computer. I don't know if you've ever tried to move a G5 but they're heavy as hell.

I can appreciate the weight, I have an Antec SX1240 steel case right now (it's 40lbs empty). Weights not a concern for me though, if it was I'd go SFF.
