We don’t normally cover PC cases on Gizmodo, not just because they aren’t that interesting, as a rule, but mostly because they are usually just godawful. There are exceptions, thankfully, and this Lian Li V1000 is one of them — all aluminum, inside and out, with a mesh front and back reminiscent of the PowerMac G5. And while reading the review at PCUnleash might occasionally challenge your English parsing abilities, I think you’ll find that the $190 street price of the V1000 almost sounds reasonable when you take into account the fit and finish of a well thought-out case.
The only downside? In my experience, aluminum cases aren’t as resilient to frequent hauling as steel-framed cases.

Update: Dan’s Data also has a very decent review, as well.
