The eTeknix gang has posted a review of the In Win Tou tempered glass case. Here's a quote from the full review:

The Tou, which I'm told is pronounced "toe or tow", is made from glass and lots of it! Set upon an aluminium frame and at first glance it resembles more of a display case than a pc case. The concept behind the Tou is based around modern architecture, much like we see on fancy glass faced office blocks and as you can see from their concept design are work there are some unique inspirations that you don't really see in PC chassis designs... until now at least.
 
I'm not usually big on "funky" designed cases, but I think that looks pretty cool with the mirror and lighting.
But for the price, I will stick with my Silverstone Fortress FT02.
 
Including my custom Koolance rig in my CM 695 Advanced . . . I'm not sure my whole damn rig is worth $1,000 - much less just the case. It is damn pretty though.
 
I love the glass, but I hate the funky angles, the goofy carry handles that stick out, and the hole-y top that's going to let all kinds of dust in.
 
The weird shape makes it look kinda ugly, IMO. Maybe it looks better in person...
 
Good looking case for the most part. I bet it would fail [H] review for temps with that rear glass blocking the GPU vent and even more so if SLI is added.
 
With maybe a few small nit picks and the one big (think $1k) problem I find the ascetics a little off but over all very spiffy.

I picked up a case last week, my first though when I saw the close ups was the typical, ah Poo, something better always comes out the day->week after I buy something. After seeing the price I felt better... not like I would have considered it anyways.
 
When [H] first posted this I thought it was stunning, and seeing that it was sand casted I thought it would be pricey. I don't have a grand for a computer case, or a custom loop, but if I did I think those two would make an interesting combination.

Well it needs very strong handles because it weighs 45 lbs.

It would be a pain in the ass to even adjust a little bit after your build is finished.
 
I love looking at my own finger prints, this case might be perfect for that!
 
In the final completed system they did... the motherboard looks crooked because of all the strange opposing diagonal lines of the chassis itself. Maybe it's just me but up until then they had me really impressed.
 
I think most of us would die of sticker shock, id imagine the number of actual buyers of this case will be in the single or double digits.
