Sometimes when we evaluate a case in a review, we find it hard to give a certain case an excellent rating because, unfortunately, it looks terrible. The computer industry constantly stresses function over form; which is not much of an issue except when you are talking about your monitor or computer case. Over the last couple years, a startup company has been working very close with TTGI/SuperFlower and Cheiftec/Chenming to take cases with excellent design features, and then give them a custom paint job. The thought seems almost bizarre at first, but the results more or less speak for themselves.

Obviously CaseArts does not appeal to everyone; there is a $20+ premium per case for the paint job.

A watt is the SI unit of power (energy or work per unit time), and thus contains time implicitly: 1 W = 1 J/s. Perhaps you meant heat flux (i.e., power per unit area, or 150 W/cm2 )?Chuckles - Sunday, April 4, 2004 - link
I know its relatively minor, but there is an error on page one."A solid block of copper sits on the CPU, and is then sinked by 6 heatpipes anchored onto the 7mm aluminum chassis. Without moving components, the case is able to sink 150W per second!"
A Watt is a Joule per second, a measure of energy per unit time (power). Thus the article should read "... 150W!"
