The company's founder Charles Harwood has a point when he says "Conversations with our customers over the years led us to conclude that there's legitimate interest in a precision-crafted, ultra-refined product like the MKII. Every other area of consumer electronics has a premium segment except desktop PC cases, and we're proud to introduce the MKII into this underserved segment of the market."
BUY IT HERE! (Only 250 made)

There isn't a single case in existence that has everything this case does.

Not even from Tankguys or Corsair.

A new king has arrived.

$150 for a dual top fan mount?!? Upgrades for parts that are standard on cases that are 75% cheaper?!?

I know there's a scratch for every itch, but some things need to be left alone.

That being said, someone will buy it. And that person probably has money > brains.

Shame Silverstone themselves arent willing to do something like this, without the silly limited edition nonsense, and charge a (slightly) more reasonable price for it.

Silverstone probably thinks the $600 they charge is just fine for a case like this. Its xforma's pcbs and add-ons that take it over the top.

Even the dvd and blue ray drive add ons for this case have the Silverstone name on them.

I think it's a really cool case, just don't have that kind of money to spend on a PC case. It's a rich modders dream case, all the work is done for them already

Wow, I love this case. If I cared enough to:

Do the retail edge trainings to upgrade from a 4930k to 5xxxk...

Build and maintain water cooling...

Buy a new monster desk...

Finally refinish/paint + install new floors in my bedroom before I install said monster desk...

THEN I'd buy it. But I won't have a proper environment for this badboy to live in for a couple years, c'est la vie.

Wanna sell me a premium PC case? 4 layer clearcoat on the paint job and throw some leather and mahogany burlwood accents. I'll take care of the rest.
