How do you do a round cable upgrade of a SATA HDD, though? SATA cables are practically the size of round cables already. They probably charged AT $50 for it...

That is one ugly case... It reminds me somewhat of the ugly Apple style of design, but with rails. At least it lacks LED runway strips.

What's with the second DVD-ROM drive? HDD read rates are orders of magnitude above what discs do, so there is no benefit for copying a disc anyways...

You probably could have saved $2-300 by getting the parts from newegg and slapping it together yourself. Too late for that though, I guess...
