    Love Star Wars and the paint jobs look nice, but a little overpriced for me. Plus, I like to build my own.

    But nice work they have done there.

      I like Star Wars, in fact I'd probably go as far as saying I love it. Course it's a toss up to me as whether I want to watch LOTR trilogy or the Star Wars one at times.

      But I do have to say those are awesome cases. Just even for the artistic value of them. Very nicely done and not too "over the top."

      Digital Audio makes me Happy.

          Nice cases. They should sell empty ones for the DIYers.

              Chris , I tried to find info on them, but can't find anything.
              I had pulled the images from the Techzone photo gallery.
              Maybe the Force will help us locate some info..

              I wish they had these for the DIY people.
              I would buy one in a snap.

                    Ah, much thanx, Kramer! I'll keep an eye out for that when it comes out. I like the "dark side" edition more, mostly just because of the vibrant, cool colors. Man, that's a good lookin' computer. Those Alien computers can get pricey, though!

                        Chris,,
                        I would also get the Darkside Deathstar version..
                        The more I look at them, the more I like.
                        I don't see any pricing,,
                        I guess you could always buy barebones and then
                        swap components with a current PC.

                          The basic version starts at $1599. Not a bad system, but you'd want to bump it up some. I think that didn't even have speakers or a screen.

                          Of course, I would want it topped out with their high-end CPU and everything, which brought it up to something like $4800. WOW!

                            Ha,,I would pay that for the case. :B
                            The basic version that is.
                            Actually, get the basic version then swap my current
                            quality parts into it in order to bring it up to spec!
                            That would work..

                              Actually, Trev, I don't think you're too far off base. Since Alien systems are pretty much DIY anyway that have just been assembled by somebody else, and their cases are pretty standard with a huge variety of inner components, you could either place your current computer in this shell, or if you bought the SW PC new, just keep replacing the components or the entire innards over the years and keep the same shell.

                                Chris, That's what I would want to do.
                                Wonder if you can configure a barebones PC
                                with the cheapest parts etc..Then switch out
                                upon arrival.

                                  Sure could... I wish they sold just the shell too.

                                    Find a talented automotive guy to airbrush your own case. I bet it could be done at a resonable price. Find a way to shellac or glue a quality graphic on to the case and clearcoat the works. A little elbow grease for shining up and voila. It will only cost you paint, time and possibly a sore shoulder. You'll be richer for the experience though. All the necessary instructions are on the 'net.
                                    Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
