I personally think it looks like a kiddie case, but no other I ask agrees much.

Any opinions?

Has red led fans in front, top rear, and 2 blue on the sidepanel.

It's pretty heavy too imo.

Yes it does IMO, but if you like it, it shouldn't matter.

This is a signature.

You have a right to like what you like.

I however don't prefer it because it's too aggressive for my tastes but I won't say you're a 12 year old if you like that case.

Is this case yours or your friends'? If it yours and you like it, just stop worrying about what others think and enjoy your case!

looks like you are overcompensating for something.

So long as you like the look of it, doesn't matter.

It's not my cup of tea and personally it does look a little childish but like others have said what I or anyone else thinks is irrelevant, it's your computer build whatever pleases you.

It's mine and I don't like it. I originally bough it to troll my dad, WHO's case nobody sees anyway.

But my old Zalman Z11 Plus couldn't contain my long Radeon HD 6990, so we had to switch cases, and the joke fell back on me :P  :P

Totally Agree... But then Again. Spend 500 DKK just because the case looks ugly? hmm..

IMO; yes.

Too gamer-like.. Too much xX_sw4g_Xx for me. but if you like it, don't care about what others say.

And it's just a case

I'm also using an aerocool case... recently relocated the LED fan to the side... I'd get rid of it once I buy a pair of DeepCool XFan 120s...

No but if you think its to aggressive than you could spray the red parts black and cut the wire that goes to the LEDs in the fans, rewire them onto a switch.

PC cases seem to have gone through the same old issues car modding have. Big bodykits are out, subtle is in.

If you don't like it, make it yours.

I kind of like these little ones too, from AC:

I think that had temperature issues tho

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm personally more endeared by subtle but muscular-looking cases (hence me having an Enthoo Pro) than I am by this sort of thing, but there's bound to be people who like it.
