From Enermax we received one of the cases that we saw prominently displayed at Computex in Taiwan. What is most interesting about the CS-5171LBFS-B is that this $139 (US MSRP) case is one of the new cases painted with high-glass automobile style paint finishes. What is even more interesting is the price: you can have a high gloss, automotive style paint finish for $140 US or less. Is this too good to be true? Let's look and see.
