Galaxy Acrylic UV Reactive Case

PC cases--the idea of a plain beige or white colored case is a distant memory for many of us. Wild colors, windows, neon lights...that'll make you the envy of all at the next LAN party, right? Errr...wait. Everyone has a flashy case these days. Hmmm. How will you stand out? What could be next? How about a completely see-through acrylic case. Not fancy enough? Add in that the entire case is UV reactive under the proper lighting conditions and you'll have the ultimate "wow" effect. This case, provided by Bullet PC, is one of a new breed of showoff items for your home or office pc. The questions I had when first looking at the unassembled case were: How easy is this thing to assemble?...how is the quality of it?...and of course...how will it look?

Check out the details below to see if a clear case is for you. I also took the liberty of adding in a few pics of the "before" PC to show you just how much of a difference a new case can make if you are looking to update your old pc. This pc may not be the fastest, but it sure looks good while doing it!

Initial Impressions

The first thought than ran through my mind when opening the box of assembly hardware was "Wow...that's alot of parts". However, a quick review of the included instructions and the fact that each plastic bag of hardware was neatly labeled eased the initial concern.

The included pair of cotton gloves were included to keep the case free of fingerprints during assembly was a nice touch. Here's a list of the features this case has to offer.
