for me..i've been using my sunbeam acrylic casing(not UV) for more than 2 years now...

pros:
1. colour hasnt turned yellowish
2. assembly was rather easy (allignment isnt that hard)
3. durable.really durable...
4. excellent airflow

cons:
1. hard to hide wires
2. heavy..its not THAT heavy..but heavier than most regular casings

The one reason for not getting an Arcylic Casing is that Acrylic do not sheild off the EMI that is coming from the various HW in the casing.


you are really literally frying your balls.... at a very slow rate.
