Carbon Fibre Case!

BY FAR THE coolest case in the show has been the Carbon Fibre one by Ultra. Like the title suggests, it has real, not cosmetic, carbon fibre(CF) side and top panels with an exposed brushed aluminum frame.
The exterior side and top panels are real black finished but unpainted CF, you can see the raw weave through the epoxy. The panel is quite stiff, you can tell that by the high pitched sound when you tap on it, but also amazingly light. Where any other metal panel would sag if you lift it by one corner, this one remains almost perfectly straight.
The frame is also semi-exposed and it is made out of brushed aluminum. It compliments the shiny black CF well, the case looks great.
Form without function is rather pointless, but in this case, Ultra went the extra mile to put in a few unique touches. That rod leaning against the drive bays is called a power bar and you plug in a main power source to the top and it distributes it to all the drive bays without cables. This will probably come in real handy when laying out a system.
Ultra would not comment on pricing, but since race cars are not cheap, we would not expect to get one of these on sale for next to nothing. Availability is set for spring and the cases should be carried in a bunch of places, but we expect Tiger Direct to be in one of the first to get them

That power strip is a great idea.... since one of the ugliest parts of a case is the power cables flying everywhere (and almost everything that goes into a drive bay uses power..).
That all being said, I think the case (CF aside) looks plain. Just me, and maybe those pictures don't do it justice either.

I'd like a laptop made out of it though. Super light laptop.

Wow man that case is the sh*t. It looks freakin' awesome. I must say I like the stuff You`ve got in there. You've got a CPU cooler from ULTRA meaning you have an AMD. You've got GPU sli'ed so altogether that PC looks solid for years to come.
You should avoid these kinds of topics at all costs. Maybe just stay in the board trends area or something.
