lol I am begining to wonder the same thing. I am still waiting to get the internal parts back from my painter friend who said they would be done 2 months ago. He keeps taking on to many new projects which is really starting to annoy me cause I want to get this thing finished already. At the same time I don't want to rush him cause I want it to come out good. It's on him though cause I ain't payin him till it's finished.

Well it doesnt hurt to have 2 rigs and I myself would definatly like to have one of these in addition to the Coolermaster storm/Sniper I got which I got to say iss one heck of a good case would,nt trade it for nothing! I think I like the Lian Li with the vents up front the best but either one would do just damn good quality!!

Sounds like he scored some free gear!Sad  Is your case going to be like Starcraft 2?

I'm just pulling your chain, of course.

lol. No he couldn't do anything with it if he wanted to. I gave it to him in pieces and he doesn't even have all the pieces. He has said that it has been difficult to do and alot of the pieces he has had to do with his airbrush since they are so small.

 Oh by the way, I believe that the pictures shown of the front view of the cases in the article are that of the PC B70/71, not the PC A70/A71.  Just an observation.
