I don't know much about them except the following:
1. They're expensive
2. They're REALLY light so they make great LAN cases.
3. They SUPPOSEDLY keep the inside temp cooler cuz they transfer heat better (doesn't really effect H2O coolers)

Have a Lian-Li PC60 and it's pretty nice.

Cut out the back fan stamping, put in grommets and silicone, a 120mm blowhole.
Easy to chop up being aluminum, also to scratch.

Kind of expensive though, and I paid "only" $160 + $17.

Al, Steel, Plexiglass all have their advantages.

Al. is light and fairly strong. It also doesnt rust.

Steel is cheap, and strong. But also damn heavy. I personally am gunning for a Stainless Steel case next.

Plexi glas, is sorta light ( heavier then Al. though), easy to scratch and expensive. Its sorta strong, but I wouldnt drop it ( the seams would be the weak points).

Al. is nice cause it can be cur through easier then Steel. ( yes even anodized).

Don't be a piker, Joe

Go for Monel.
Got to watch out for that chloride crevice corrosion with stainless.

be cool

stainless just has a great look to it.

a Magnesium, or Titanium case would rock also.
( a Cu one would REALLY rock, but it would weigh like 200lbs http://www.procooling.com/ubb/smile.gif
