Why is this case $600?

If half of what in the Listing stands is true then part of it is justified because its aluminium and not steel and three letters make it extra saucy: CNC.

I would not go with aluminium. it is lighter but softer as well. if you build in it a lot, the things like threads and often removed panels might wear out.

Man that sure is a very expensive case. I know visuals are subjective, but it's objectively bad case design being all closed off. There is no reason anyone should even consider this.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

apart from the price i slightly disagree. I have a fairly closed case as well while using an external rad. this way i do not hear the coil-whine 🙂

There are ways to make closed cases work, but generally coil whine is reduced enough by just having closed side panels, which 99% of cases have. And having an open or mesh front makes it so you can run your fans slower and still have better temps, resulting in better noise AND thermals most of the time. So even if noise is the main concern, airflow cases are the best pick. This is also the conclusion of Gamers Nexus who tested hundreds of cases over the lase few years.

you are right. i would not reccomend closed cases in most.. cases. not to mention this one witch does not offer you anything a case made of steel could not do at a much lower  price.

That's worse than Alienware PCs! That's saying something...

But to Tom, it's all foolery. 

 

 

 

 

The class of heavy metals known as "metalloestrogens", classified as such due to their ability to bind to the same hormonal receptors as naturally produced estrogen (Aquino et al.), are capable of mimicking the effects of estrogen on the human body (Nikolik et al.). Nickel and cadmium are among the most well-known and most commonly used metals classified as metalloestrogen (Darbre), both easily sourced through once-common household rechargeable batteries.

Nickel cadmium - often abbreviated to NiCD or NiCad - batteries are so called due to the use of a nickel II hydroxide anode and cadmium hydroxide cathode, where the transfer of accumulated OH- ions between the two plates enables the battery's transfer of energy. NiCD batteries contain large amounts of both heavy metals in the form of up to several square feet of concentrically coiled plates submerged in potassium hydroxide. Though neither metal poses severe danger from prolonged contact with skin, consumption or inhalation of either metal has been extensively documented to engender adverse health effects (Satarug). 

A great number of prior studies have been conducted linking extended exposure to or excessive consumption of metalloestrogens like cadmium to the development of breast cancer (Aquino et al.) - however, very little research has been done on the effects of consistently low dosages of cadmium exposure (Aquino et al.). Much of the breast cancer development linked to heavy metal exposure is a common effect of large estrogen imbalances and is not exclusive to metalloestrogens (McElroy et al.). Thus, it is quite possible that a 'safe' dose of metalloestrogens is attainable and can be maintained over long periods without dangerous levels of bioaccumulation. 

Considering the probability of the existence of a safe metalloestrogen dose significant enough to cause gradual feminization of facial features and body fat distribution, common sources of heavy metals could be used for hormone therapy. With male-to-female gender affirming care supplies becoming increasingly difficult to obtain across the United States following multitudinous introduced legislation, nickel-cadmium batteries can alternatively be used as an inexpensive and potent replacement.
