Modern ones? No, properly not. Unless you are handy with those power tools that is.

I heard x51 case can double or triple your performance over a custom case.

Of course there is a point. Aesthetically, it's better than any other case I've seen.

Beauty is subjective. Personally I like the simplicity/minimalism of recent corsair cases.

Even thats too much for me, simple lines like the carbide series is what I prefer.

That really doesn't look good. I don't know why people think this looks bad:  it's sick.

The lack of fans alone is alarming. Airflow must be a nightmare with that case.

I decided to go with this  It looks nice, it's roomy, it will work with any build and the amount people are asking for for the Alienware case is ridiculous.

I prefer a plain case, that's why I have an Antec 300 and my future cases will be most likely Fractal Designs.

I prefer plain cases well, but that Nvidia case is sweet looking.

I don't like Corsair cases. When I think simplicity, I think Fractal Design.

I guess taste is in the eyes of the beholder, but by no means do Alienware Cases look BAD. I don't know about quality inside and functionality, but outside they look very nice.

yes, but it's off topic. He asked for advice on alienware cases and then the discussion went from alienware cases to the styling which is completely subjective
it should have gone in the direction of cases that look like alienware cases
