Lightweight Aluminum!
The all new Aluminus lightweight aluminum case is in a class by itself when
it comes to dazzling looks and phenomenal performance for a wide range of systems.
As its name implies, the Aluminus has been crafted using the finest, most durable
lightweight aluminum on the market. And it includes a large innovative clear
side panel.
Incomparable Compatibility
Why buy a computer case that doesn’t give you a wide selection of compatibility
choices, when you can purchase the Aluminus at an incredibly low price? This
sleek chassis makes a perfect fit of all the leading motherboards. AT, Baby
AT, ATX and Micro ATX…it fits virtually all motherboard sizes, and the
removable motherboard tray makes installation easy. There's plenty of room to
grow with its seven (7) expansion slots. The front swing-out bezel and drive
bay covers can be locked for security. The side panel, drive bays and motherboard
tray all feature hardware that allow for easy and tool-less removal and installation.
Optimize Your PC's Airflow
Good looks, superior expandability and incredible compatibility don’t make
a great computer case. What puts the Aluminus at the head of its class is how
easy it allows the user to route cables behind drive bays allowing for better
airflow within the case. Cables can even be hidden underneath the large "Ultra"
drive bay cover, keeping them out of the way of airflow... and out of sight!
CPU cooling and VGA cooling vents keep the air flowing coolly and effectively
to preserve the integrity of your components within the most productive, heat-producing
systems. The Alumnus also includes a 120 mm fan bay for even more cooling power.
V-Series ATX Power Supply
This new V series power supply offers more connectivity choices than the typical
power supply, with options for 20/24 pin motherboards, SATA and PCI Express
connections. This durable, high-performance power supply features a low-noise
120mm cooling fan. It supports AMD and Intel motherboards and includes short
circuit protection, in-rush current protection and thermal overload cutoff protection.
Ultra Aluminus, the showcase of your extreme gaming or power computing system.

Bought this when it came with a power supply, great value if you're just looking for a good case to fit EVERYTHING in. I had a few issues with this one though. The front door/cover feels like it'll break off if someone gets rough with it. The Mobo tray is a real pain to get back in after mounting an EVGA 780i with the Ultra ChillTEC CPU cooler. The front panel cover also keeps bay devices that stick out from being flush-mounted. The CPU cooling fan mount and hole in the clear side doesn't have an option to block it off for better air flow. It's large case that doesn't fit into Full ATX category for some reason. It fits the new NVidia GTX cards easily. Cable management is easy if you use all extra space arounf the HDD rack and Mobo tray. I didn't have to make any special mods to it for anything I installed.

This case is great, definitely not a mid-tower case by any means. I used to PSU that came with the case and it worked flawlessly. This case is definitely worth the money. My only complaint is the rails for the optical drives were kinda frustrating but nothing reading the manual cant fix =D

Pretty decent case, I have A LOT of trouble closing the side door with the clear display. It wont stay on its tracks properly. Besides that, its a very sturdy case, even the plastic that makes the swing doors in the front are well built and sturdy. The reset button is also hard to hit, I have to use a pen to hit it, but how often do you really use that button anyway?

Really, a great case. When I ordered this case I knew what I was getting, and that was really well built case. I remember that it came 3 days later, and when I opened the box, I just couldn't believe how huge it was, and it was so light, yet so bold yet so simple looking which is what I liked about it. It fight everything I put in it pretty well; an Asus P5N-D, a PC Power and Cooling 750w PSU, a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10, a LG H2N DVD-ROM drive, 2 120 MM fans, and with a bit of effort and a rearrangement a dual-slot, 11 inch long EVGA Geforce 9800 GTX+. Even though I had to kind of twist the EIDE cable for my DVD Drive, that was just a minor technicality which is really nothing. I have to say it is a 5 out of 5, really great case, I will buy from them again, and a friend of my also likes this case.
But it was alot cheaper without the PSU, which was around $89.99

Got Enough
Memory? Bet You'll Need More!
Windows Vista and today's software
applications make much greater demands on your system's memory. Adding
peripherals, like webcams, USB hard drives, and complex Internet pages, all
take memory. Watching DVD movies, or watching videos on the web, or
playing PC based games demand increased memory. So take full
advantage of your system's potential, your operating system's enhancement
and entertainment capabilities, and your software's productivity by expanding
your system memory!
The best time to
add more memory is when you buy your system! Get the memory that's
right for your computer, whether laptop, desktop, or All-In-One.

Shared
Memory? Or Where Did My Memory Go?
Your computer uses memory to run your
Operating System, applications, peripherals, and to generate and display
graphics on your computer monitor. Video memory is a form of RAM, and is
either built into your motherboard; or on a graphics card (video card).
Depending on the motherboard's configuration, and that of the video card (if
separate or built-in to the motherboard), your computer may have to draw on
its own RAM memory to meet its video memory needs. This creates shared
memory, where your computer’s RAM will be shared between its own Processor
(CPU) and its graphics chip.
The result is that some systems will have
shared memory, some will not. If you have 2GB (for example) of system
memory installed, you may notice that your system reports significantly less
memory. This is because your system is using shared memory for your
video.
What can you do about this?
You can actually configure this shared memory through your computer’s BIOS
settings. However, this is a setting best left alone, since it is
typically optimized for display performance, and making changes may impact
display resolutions, and other video capabilities.
The simplest solution is usually to either:
increase your system memory; or to upgrade the video hardware. By
upgrading to a new video card with built-in video memory, then turning off
shared memory, you will free your system to use it's maximum potential
memory, and provide your system with much more robust video features.
How Much
Memory Do You Really Have?
When you look at the specifications for a computer, it will display the
installed memory, and typically the maximum memory that can be installed.
However, while these are real values, they represent a potential useable
memory depending upon the installed operating system, and other factors. The actual useable memory may be different
(lower) from these values.
The reason is simply that a computer may have a limitation in the operating
system (such as Windows 32 bit versions), or configured to use shared memory,
which reduces the amount of RAM that is available to the CPU by using
some of it for other purposes, such as for video memory. In some
cases, you can control the maximum useable memory through system settings,
by upgrading from a 32 bit to a 64 bit version of Windows XP or Vista, or by upgrading to a video card that has internal onboard video memory.
But always
remember, that the amount of memory that your system reports, is not always
the amount of actual installed memory. For example, if you have 4GB
installed, 32 bit versions of Windows will typically report 3.2GB due to a
limitation of Windows itself. Also note that different Windows
programs report available and maximum memory differently, which can be
confusing. If you find that you need more
memory, we suggest expanding your system memory, since this is the most
effective performance increase, and the one that is easiest to perform .
