    It's not an issue unless you have a lot of computers. (#include beowulf_cluster_comment.h) All the same, I won't be getting one until the day they invent transparent aluminum.

  2. Dust? by Quill_28 · · Score: 2, Informative

    I hear just a little dust makes these look bad, and it needs regular cleaning. Something to keep in mind.
    Not for me but whatever floats your boat.

  3. I have one... by blincoln · · Score: 5, Informative

    ...unlike at least 97% of the posters in this thread. I bought it for fun when I replaced my motherboard about six months ago.

    I like the way it looks, which is important since it's sitting in front of me whenever I do any computer-related work at home.

    I probably wouldn't buy one again though, because it's a hassle to keep clean, and I haven't found a way to keep the cabling looking neat since there's nowhere to hide the excess. Also, because the expansion card mounting bracket is Lucite like the rest of the case, it's kind of fragile. I think Soyo makes a case with a metal bracket, but they hadn't released it when I got this one.

    I haven't experienced any EMR issues either for the internal components or the external ones.
