$85 for a case with no PSU seems like some major spin should be required to dupe someone into a purchase.
It may be good, but it's not that good.
The thing is going to be buried under your desk.
Who cares what it looks like.
So maybe it takes a one-time extra 5 minutes to build with a cheapo case.
Provided that there is decent air flow, that's all that matters.

I've had cheap cases (I think I paid $16, new for one a few years ago), and most have had horrible cooling: deadspots where the hot air never was exhausted. I think $70 is an adequate price range for a decent case, but 85...that's a bit steep. I can appreciate the construction and the amount of aluminum that's in it...but it's too rich for my blood.
I don't mind that it doesn't come with a PSU, however, as I'd want to pick my own, anyways.
