It looks almost exactly like a CM 690 II Advanced. Except it costs more and has a window. Bland and I'd dare say copied. They should try and find their own style like Corsair, or NZXT, or Antec, one that differentiates them enough to be recognizable.
Core i7 2600k/ ASUS P8Z68-V Z68/ 8gb Corsair Vengeance 1600 Blue/ EVGA Geforce GTX 560ti Maximum Graphics Edition/Windows 7/Antec 300/Antec 650w/LG Blu Combo/Hp 27inch 2710M/Samsung P2770HD
