    I can't agree with "Looks Awesome"
    It's aesthetics are in the "Please burn it now" range for me.
    It might be more acceptable if the frame was black or dark blue, but with the orange it just doesn't work.

    CPU: Intel i5 3570k Overclocked @ 4.6Ghz GPU: MSI Twin Frozr 7850 @ 1000Mhz Cooler: Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 RAM: 16Gb Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz

    There is also a red version; the blue contrasting parts on the orange version are black on the red so overall it's smarter looking. You can Google for images of it.

    Falls into the same category as the X frame for me - I know I shouldn't like it but I do. I don't like 'pimped' cases - not even simple window panels - but I think this gets away with it (even more than the X frame) because it is at least different (without being totally daft - Lian Li steam train case, I'm looking at you).

    If I wanted to spend that kind of money, I would buy the Thermaltake Level 10 !

    I can just see my youngest kid (20 months) or the dog coming near this. Devastation.

    However I do like the idea, it kinda reminds me of some of the rack servers I have seen over the years, but mixed with the idea of not being ultra noisy. All that said though, I have apparently no measure of cool any more according to my other boys, so most likely it's really ugly

    I think I would file this one under "when I get that funky office where I work with designers and other creatives"

    Re: Reviews - In Win D-Frame

    I'll give them points for being 'different', but I just wish someone would do a cheap non-garish open-air chassis. Would work perfectly with passively cooled components.

    I'm with you on that one ... I have 3 boys and I see this as a perfect hiding place for Lego and other small figures,

    I'm a bit in the middle with this, I'm all for offering something different but the fact that I like a cuppa when I'm on the PC and I have a thousand pound + worth of hardware in there ... hmm I'd rather not take the risk.

    Just because something *can* be done, doesn't mean it *should* be done!

    Still, it's brightened up my day and someone somewhere will splurge their cash on this and probably enjoy it. More power to these overpaid types I say

    Re: Reviews - In Win D-Frame

    I like the creativity, but it's ugly and pointless. If you want a "fashion" oriented case, there are many more cases that are prettier and cheaper than this. And for that money that this costs, you can almost have a Cosmos II, witch is the most beatiful computer case I ever seen.
    And it's not even a case, it's a just a frame... LOL

    I like loud and interesting cases but that just looks ugly. I saw it and wanted to vomit. Then I saw the price jeez that's insane

    Re: Reviews - In Win D-Frame

    Looks great, parts would be easily damaged, looks nice as a testing bench

    I like the idea of it, in-practical but nice , I would suspect it would be decent as a stack able server but for the price tag-NO WAY

    I am definitely buying this when it comes out, the orange/blue version doesn't look that great but the red/black one does it for me...
