(Update) In-Win Z-Tower chassis - Quite something else - costs 5499 EUR
In-Win outs their Z-Tower and it is quite something else, really like not from this earth. The Z-Tower is In Win’s latest addition in the signature chassis series, inspired by the aesthetics of architecture and quality materials.
Feel the harnessed power emit through the strengthened skeletal structure. Create greatness by utilizing the Z-Tower’s pure, artistic and asymmetrical design. The Z-Tower is made from a complicated sand molded casting process. In foundry, the craftsmen pour the molten aluminium into the tooling to form the pieces of the initial shape of the Z-Tower. Once cooled, the CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine is applied to refine and finish them into a smoother surface. The Z-Tower is constructed of 5cm thick aluminium alloy and is polished meticulously with a CNC mill to ensure each Z-Tower embodies the exquisiteness of luxury and art.
Supports the latest high-end graphics cards, CPU heatsink and motherboards E-ATX (12"x13"). Each Z-Tower will be engraved with an individual limited-edition serial number to enhance the collection value. Pricing has not been announced, it weighs 42kg though, so multiply that by 15 bucks per kg perhaps?
Update: we now have a price for this product, 5499 EUR/USD.

Maybe they first constructed it with straight walls, but then placed it in a hydraulic press to push it down a little, while at the same time applying torque and constriction to the frame with a suitable noose.

I have one. I bought it with the intention of building a super gaming rig, but the Video cards in SLI, AIO Swiftech liquid cooler, 1200 watt power supply, etc. fans etc. etc. proved to be a bit too heavy for the H Tower motors that open and close the unit. I used it for no more than 1 month. I am considering selling it, but that thing weighs a ton and I don't look forward to shipping it. You can PM or email me if you have any real interes, and maybe we can come up with something. The H Tower truly is a futuristic "Transformer".
I procrastinated over buying the H-Tower for ages due to the crazy price, eventually decided to get one and it was discontinued. Kept my eye out for one ever since.

I like the crazy design but a 42k weight is just stupid.
