Yeah, it was expensive just getting one here in Japan, but with exchange rates and such cheaper than the z-machine by about $100(z-machines are outrageously priced here). It's a shame they aren't more widely available. I just thought I'd mention it since they are considered a luxury case.

I was wondering the same thing awhile back. I googled it and found this article. http://www.systemcooling.com/alum_steel-01.html Should answer all your questions.

Anu, I'm not sure if you are Japanese or if you are a foreigner living in Japan like myself. If you can read some Japanese, I would suggest trying out: http://www.coneco.net/ I just did a quick check on the prices for the components that PC_User recommended: Intel E6750 - 22,890 yen...
