    I've seen a fe different ones, and I have to say I've not seen one I liked yet.
    A window isn't too bad cos it'll show off your l33t cooling sytem, but I don't want people seeing the rough and ready bits of my drive casings and messy cabling.

    All-plastic cases would suffer from dramatic RFI (interference) problems; more accurately, anything else near an all-plastic-cased PC would suffer from RFI problems - radios, mobile phones, TVs, anything like that. Plus, they're an electrical hazard as the cases aren't earthed.

    (Before anyone says this, the plastic cases people like Dell sell have foil inserts to suppress RFI - it's called a "Faraday Cage")

    Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

    If they really want to make a decent clear case. they should add a shiny metal frame inside. Not only would that improve the earthing and help with the RFI problem, but if it was done properly it might look pretty good.

    I'd far prefer a proper metal case anyway.
