so this review is targeted at people looking to spend $350 on a case, but don't realize that their system needs a heatsink?

I've done a few generic case reviews recently, though they haven't all got good scores:

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2007/06/08/revoltec_zirconium/1
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2007/05/23/enermax_pandora_case/1
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2007/04/19/Enermax_Uber_Chakra_Case/1

The Pandora is by far the best of that bunch, but in general we find BT readers are a bit more discriminating. :)

Fair enough, I missed some of those.
So how do I check Bit-Tech enough to see those when I already spend most of my computer time on here?

Unfortunately word searches (especially with homonyms such as 'case') always throw up some false results. To make life easier, a system like an online shop's, with hardware categories (cases, motherboards, memory, graphics cards, etc) to click on would help visitors home in on past reviews.

...Not just heavy like when you're going on holiday and you pick up your girlfriend's suitcase full of shoes and you have to use both hands to lift it, all the while bemoaning the fact that nobody needs eighty-four pairs of trainers. No, this goes beyond that. It's more like when your girlfriend tries to carry your suitcase full of swords, screwdrivers and emergency supplies and she has to enlist the help of a forklift to lift it, all the while bemoaning the fact that because zombies aren't really real there is no need to prepare so fully for the zombie apocalypse.

mega lol :D it's a pretty nice case. But it will need some modding if I'd buy it ;)
