CES: IN WIN Displays Costly but Beautiful Computer Cases (Video)

This video shows a computer case that's "pretty expensive," says Timothy Lord. "It's over $300. On the other hand, it is beautiful." The manufacturer, Taiwan-based IN WIN, has put a $399 MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) tag on their top-of-the-line "limited edition" computer cases. Wow. Most of us probably won't buy one of these, considering that low-cost mid-tower cases can be had for $30, and the entire computer used to edit this video cost $399 (with the addition of some RAM and a better video card). But there is a market for Lamborghinis, and there is a market for computer cases that cost as much as a complete low-end computer. And CES (annoying sounds if you click the link) is a great place to look at them even if you don't really need a computer case that costs more than a minimum wage worker's entire weekly paycheck.

    Sarah: It sells for like crazy user and actually the MSRP is like $399.

    I thought it was funny that she said it was only for people who are crazy. In other words, they have too much money on their hands.

    Yes, they are expensive, but the bits processed by these cases are warmer. True computerophiles can detect this.
