Acrylic cases are really only good for display purposes in stores, trade shows, science fairs, etc., not for a day in/day out workhorse PC. They offer zero RMI/EFI shielding, are hard to keep clean and generally are not great coolers. Nor do they generally make any cosideration for draining off static electricity which needs a good low-resistance path to a true earth ground.
. But I know how you feel. My Silverstone Berserker came with several of the legs that hold the front bezel on cracked or broken. OTOH, I've gotten several other cases all the way across the country from Newegg with no problems. So next time try an Antec - I hardly ever hear of shipping damage with them and the SLK3000-B is one of the best cases period (if you don't like a front door, go with the Compucase 6A19 instead). Were less than $50. shipped from some resellers.
