looks good to me... but be weary of all that "UNIQUE" anti dust sh1t they speak of because it will collect SO MUCH DUST you will have to clean it out every single week (and trust me, it gets tedious because I have a case similar to that one). I say go for another case should more options be provided.

First link doesn't work (fix it)... Second one is a VERY cheap knock-off... To me, they look butt f*cking ugly. Especially compared to the real deal.

snag one of the chenbro gaming bomb II cases if your lookin for g5 ish look..
at least chenbro makes quality cases.

Wouldent be a bad case except the super poser retard fins on it. WHo thehell are they trying to fool? They look like someone came and just screwed in some old couch legs to the top and bottem of a ok looking case totally ruining it.

There is a Lan-Li G5 look-alike case which is waaay better then that case for both looks and quality.

The Lian-Lis are overpriced.

I have the VTech one. It's pretty good. The only thing that sucks about it is that there's no manual on how to install the case fans so you have to go on the net to figure out that there are a set of screws in there for 80mm fans. Sadly for me, it was after I ripped the filters off the side and top damaging some of the fake rivets. Yes, they're fake. If you think the rivets at the top and sides are steel, you're wrong. They're plastic. I had to get some super glue to get the rivets back on there. If you plan on cleaning the filters in this case then please show me how. It's not easy getting them out of there.

Other than that, the case is pretty sturdy with screwless drive bays and front USB/audio connectors that actually connect to the pins on the motherboard instead of a stupid wire that you have to pull outside the case to the back panel connectors. The stealth drive bays are a plus as well. I added the finishing touch on my X-Focus by putting a silver Aerocool Gatewatch control panel on the front. It takes two 5 1/4" drive bays, but you shouldn't need more than two anyways.

The Lian-Li PCV1100B is fairly close... I'd like to build a water cooled case around it some day.

Actually the V1000 is very close. The V1100 has a large aluminum door that covers the front of the case.
