u notice how its hard to find a good case? i look on ebay sometimes (probley not the best place to look) and all the cases are crap. There are even cases that look like dogs! Most the cases I see on ebay are those ugly beige ones with a little color on the corner. The only cases I have seen on the internet that are nice are those metal cases, and the Alienware cases (does anyone know what company makes those, I forgot) And, who buys those ugly "cute" cases on ebay, inless every preppy teen knows how to switch cases or build a computer, I dont see who would buy them.
