$729 for a case?

Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER CSX Falcon CX-632REDS-01 Red Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail
Someone tell me this is a typo, I could build a good midrange system for that much. (and if this has been posted before, apologies in advance)

That's an unworldly amount of money to spend on a computer case. It gets funny after a while seeing things like the extremely slightly overclocked 8800GTX being called the Ultra and selling for a grand, then a 729-dollar computer case, being the price of (very respectably said) a very good mid-range system.

Even insane enthusiasts are picking up on these little gimics.

The outside looks good, but the internal layout could be alot better. Newegg is not know for screwing up like this, if it was a typo then somebody would have caught it by now. So yea, I think its just an incredibly overpriced case, unless I missed something, and I mean REALLY missed something.

Na the case is only $129.00

The T-shirt is $600.00

: laugh:

That is absolutely insanity!!!!

Well it does have a really cool paint job...

The price is correct. Cooler Master has teamed with Smooth Creations to offer a line of custom painted cases, where much of the pricing is going towards the paint job (HERE'S a $1000+ chassis). These are limited edition offerings, and while disgustingly priced (they're certainly not within my budget), Smooth Creations paint jobs are second to none. If you subscribe to Maximum PC (shame on you who don't), you've likely seen their work on some of the previous Dream Machines. Some of you may also recall us touching on them in our CES coverage.

Thats the price, other sites have it around 800 bucks! Maybe it makes coffee too.

It's just a paint job..... A Smooth Creations paint job!

Besides, it's a pretty good price too. ;P

"Honey!!!! Find my Krylon and maskin' tape. We's gonna be RITCH!!!!" Oh well, if we'll pay upwards of $6.00 a gallon for gas, why not a GRAND for a few melted down BEER cans. Sounds pretty crazy to me. JM.02 Bailey.
