It has some good features, but it looks too plain for me.

I'd go for that computer case if it comes with acoustic foam in both sides of the case. I could have a rear fan be an intake so that it can easily bring in cool air and the top exhaust fan can exhaust hot air outside the case.

I don't plan to do a lot of gaming, however. Just music creation and light gaming with an AMD Radeon 7650. :)

HTPC: AMD Athlon X2 4050e CPU with 780G ATX motherboard running Windows 8 DP (4GB) and Ubuntu; Server: AMD AII X2 240e CPU with 880G-based ATX motherboard running Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS (8GB)

2 pairs of Insignia NS-B2111s (front/rear), Pioneer SP-C21 Center Speaker, and 12" Velodyne Sub

Just ordered HP Pavilion dv7-6165us from QVC. Will have it by next Friday.

Nice! There is a lot to like here 100% kickass if it had a window.
You can change the black mesh strips and the logo for a few colors which i think is really nice. well at least on the regular Shinobi you can
