Why is it that a regular tower case costs no more than $100 - 150, and this
tower case costs almost a thousand dollars? sigh.
Probably custom built in a limited number.
A thousand dollars can buy alot of things...like Lightwave 4.0...heh.

Yea, you're right.

Yea, if money wasn't an issue, I'd also get a Betacam SP deck and an S-VHS
editor, so I wouldn't have to move thing thing around to dump animations,
then I could spread it out all I wanted. ;)
