Default [Discussion] New Antec Mirror Finish Case

This case revision of the P182 looks well nice. Haven't seen a mirror finish on a pc case before. Antec - good quality cases. What do people think of this ?

I've got a mate who has one of these

Very very nice case...only problem is you can't move it easily...without smudging it.

That's the first thing I wonder how it would go for finger prints and smudges otherwise look great

I've had a couple of Antec cases in the past and have to say that generally the build quality is very good. They didn't have as many "features" as my last Lian-Li but overall nice. That one looks particularly sweet - have to agree with the guys tho - smudgy smudgy

Looks like a kid magnet. If you have kids, you'll spend so much time keeping it clean you'll never get any computer time. But if you're not married, the girls will love it.

Part of antecs new 'Vain geek' line.

Next up is the mouse which opens to reveal makeup and a mirror.

In all seriousness though that would be an utter PITA, glossy finishes are bad enough for prints/scratches let alone mirror :O

Personally if I was in the market for a new case it'd be one of these:

NZXT. Products.

or

www.hardwarezone.com® :: Articles - Coolest Hardware, Hottest Reviews

The lian li is kind of on the 'hurt the wallet' list as I need to save for other things
