While this case is cool and all, the $2,700 price tag ensures that only people with money to burn will ever own one. Here's a handful of photos for those of you that can't view the Chinese webpage.
 
It's cool from an artistic point of view but not really practical, especially not with a $2,700 price tag. You can build a pretty high end machine with that money.
 
Now that the pics are out there. How long will it be before somebody builds one, themselves, and make it look better? Probably not long. (wish I had the skills)
 
Not my thing, but it looks good. But at that price, it should have the complete motorcycle not just the motor part.
 
I could steam punk the hell out a case for that kind of cash..and have money left over.
 
Looks cool, totally impractical. I wouldn't get one even if it was $200.
 
The only thing missing are some of those awful glowing Alienware stickers/logos plastered all over it. Nothing screems 1337 haxor like Alienware. :rolleyes:
 
LOL! There's like zero market for desktop computers these days and probably a negative percent market for $2,700 for just a desktop case. It's probably a publicity product to get people to look at some other kinda product they sell that fits better into modern computing like a phone or a tablet.
 
They do realize for that money you could buy a REAL motorcycle engine right? And not something made of plastic that doesn't function, and probably does not function very well as a PC case either.
 
It's pretty interesting. I wonder what cases people will come up with now that 3D printers are pretty cheap. I know the cheap ones can't do large components, but I've already considered printing up some cool scoops on the side of mine.

You could probably do some cool ITX or car PC cases.
 
It looks like this is some sort of Kickstarter and it looks like the base computer is 2700 and it gets you:

4790K
ROG M7F
16GB DDR3
GTX980
 
New PC case inspired by Ducati, coming to your living room or office soon.
 
Racist comment incoming... But what is with Asia's fascination with motorcycles with large tailpipes? Who on earth would want their computer case to look like a motorcycle engine?

It reminds me of a videogame... Was it Devil May Cry where one of the guy's swords had motorcycle grips and he'd rev the sword like a chopper? LOL

I just don't get it...
 
I'm expecting a [H] review of this case at some point.

Also, my wife thought it was a souped up vacuum cleaner when she saw the pic.
 
It's quite artistic from my point of view. But it's not worth 2700 dollars. That's just an obscene amount of money for a case. Back in the day when I spent 200 dollars on some cooler master case, I thought that was just too much money. Couldn't someone just take the frame off a motorcycle and fabricate the rest?

In all honesty, someone is bound to buy it.
 
IMO its ugly and the price tag makes it laughable.

How about a nice Borg cube that's decent size.(though not at 2700 still)
 
I assume they want so much for the case so they can afford to pay lawyers when H-D sues them into oblivion. ( but on the other hand, they are in China, the land of counterfeit, so maybe not)
I guess any tool paying that kind of green for a case deserves to get ripped off. Like someone said earlier, you can buy the real V-Rod motor for that.
 
You could build ONE HELL OF A MACHINE as others pointed out. SLI 980's, 6 Core CPU, DDR4, 1GIG SSD, Bluray Burner, Creative Zx etc.
 
I can see someone who is really into bikes digging that, especially if they had a room theme going on. It's neat from an artistic POV, but beyond that eh I wouldn't want one at any price. I think the $2700 includes a fairly high end rig from my limited understanding of the website, but I can't say for sure. I seriously doubt the case alone is that kind of money.

What are you going to use a 1GB SSD for? Pretty sure they never even made them that small. :p
 
Anyone else notice the company branding?
