Interesting design, but way too gaudy for my tastes.

Oh, goody....512 trillion lighting colours....

Heck that's important!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All those goodies but.............I wouldn't want to see the price tag on that monster. Besides...its weird.

and also lacks enough storage space for drives (I have atleast 6 hdds and two optos in most of my comps)

Looks like you could sit inside it and play a life-sized game of Faster than Light.

IMO the case function trumps "looks". I would rather have the old school "beige" case as long as it supports all the state of the art tech (and cooling fans) i can put inside of it.

I never went alienware because i more than likely can build a better system myself far cheaper.

While the inner working are okay, I don't like the shape of the case.  Now I do like cases that have a bit of bling and are somewhat different to the regular tower, which is why I got a Thermaltake Level 10 GT, but this Alienware thing simply doesn't do it for me, shape-wise.  However, some may like it and end up purchasing it... which is why it's different horses for different courses... though I don't fancy one for the main course, myself

Okay, so I could shove it in the tower pigeonhole in my desk and not see the shape.... but I'd know it was there... and it would irk me.  I mean, why buy big for a flash looking case just to hide it away?  I do like the idea of the screw-less side panel removal, but for me that feature is not enough to make this case a must-have.

Nope, I think I'll be sticking with my Level 10 GT for quite some time to come.  Beside liking it quite alot anyhow, my current homeless status means I don't have any spare spondula because I'm saving like all fech to set myself up in new accommodation, which with bonds and market value rents, etc, just ain't cheap these days. 

Oh... Cute case and brilliant design. I'd love to get my hands on a case like that!

As for the interior hardware.... After haveing watched the video I had only one thought/question:

3 massive GFX cards. An huge 8 core CPU and enough RAM to create a stable wormhole....

Who the hell -needs- to overclock a powerplant like that?!?

Yeah, that's another worry about that case... inadequate/sub-par cooling.  That's why I don't like the shape, because it reduces cooling options, like a couple of decent sized top fans; front HDD fans..... and side fans unless you cannibalise the sleek finish.  So while the CPU may be adequately cooled, I'd be worried about the 3 GPUs for a start.

Yup, the new Mac Pro surely is a thing of beauty, and quite powerful, too, but OS-X isn't the only OS you can run on it.  An old friend of mine runs the latest MAC OS, Mavericks, and Windows 8 on his... but that could just as easily be Win 7 or MS; latest, Windows 10.

Now I'm not fond of Apple products and would never touch an iPhone, iPad or iPod, but I'd certainly love a Mac Pro on my desk.  Thing is, it'd cost me close to AU$4000 for the lower-end model, and near AU$6000 for the top-end one, so one isn't on my horizon any time soon.

I love it!!!

Given the stated hardware, I imagine Win 10 would run exceedingly well on that machine... providing it didn't overheat.

Another aspect that would dissuade me from purchasing it is the lack of internal expansion space for SSDs/HDDs... and what about PCIE expansion cards, such as soundcards; TV tuner cards; SATA/USB expansion cards, etc?  While the case seems spacious, to me it seems the odd shape and orientation of the mobo would limit the ability to add non-standard components.

Nah, I like to plan which component I'd ike to use and select an appropriate case to house them... which given the summer heathere in SE Queensland is usually something with great ventilation and fan support.
