This is strange a funky, and I think maybe I want one:

Article about it here, product page at Antec here. What do you think? Would this be a good case for people who like to swap out parts all the time?

Looks cool, but it'd get DIRTY. Those of us who own cats and dogs understand all to well how hair and dust can clog up a machine's fans and ports in only a month or so.

Dust, dirt and kicks.

Well, looking at it I never imagined it would be on the ground. This seems more like something you'd have on a workbench of on your desk. C'mon, it's kinda cool, isn't it?

It looks cool, but as was said, definitely not a viable purchase if you own any small mammals.

When i opened up my case recently to replace the PSU, i found there was a lot of dust, and it was made worse by dog hair being interlaced with the dust.

Design engineering holds functionality before the design itself and this one is an effort in vain.

How could you know what one can knock/spalsh something how and where ?

I say, you may hang this from the ceiling but believe me somebody will try a header on it someday.
