This is a nice case but the weight just kills me, I would not recommend this as a LAN case but if you want something that will stand on the floor or on the table without moving around this is your choice. I love the way how it opens up and makes it ver...

So are you tired of the same old boring computer case? Ready for something sexy, curvy, and drop dead gorgeous? And yes, I am talking about a computer case. How about one that is designed by the famous Italian design firm Pininfarina (the same compan...
Good Beautifully designed case, elegant yet modern – it’s definitely a Ferrari of computer cases!, Toolless assembly for side panels and drives, Removable side panels makes installation very easy, Very neat and innovative features (i.e. removeable HDD cage, hidden storage compartment, Enforce bar), Optimal placement of fans for decent cooling, High quality construction, Excellent value...
Bad Noise levels – supercar looks, supercar noise!, No handles to pick up the case, in fact, there is no good place to pick up the case except for the bottom, Weight – with everything installed, the case tipped the scales at just over 40 lbs, Flimsy front covers that could easily snap off if you’re not careful...
Bottom line This case is definitely a looker. It will outshine many other cases in this department alone. Although the case has many neat and innovative ideas, it is not perfect. However, you really do have to nit-pick to find any major flaws. The case is decen...

The Spire Pininfarina is a very unique case, designed by the Italian design studio. The 6 mm thick aluminum and steel body make this case really heavy. It is a real back breaker if you plan to carry this one to a LAN party. The unique looks also contin...

Bad Heavy, really heavy, Fans are quite loud by todays standard, Installation is complicated at times, Installing PSU and drives requires removal of the respecitve covers, Design may not be for everyone, Large graphic cards will not fit...
Bottom line The Spire Pininfarina is a true designer item. It looks great and has some unique features. The incredibly thick aluminum coupled with the 1 mm thick steel make this a case which is nearly indestructable. The flip down butterfly doors are a great idea...

Bottom line With a case being what you mostly see when you look at your PC, the Pininfarina certainly looks the part. It's a unique looking piece of kit that would blend in well with other modern furniture. Its butterfly design really makes installation a cinch, taki...

One thing often not given very much thought when building a do-it-yourself computer is the case. This is a shame as the one part of the computer the builder will deal with and end up looking at the most is obviously, the case itself! Whether the reaso...

There are a lot of computer cases out there, each one trying to have enough features that will get the attention of enough people to make a profit. For the most part though, there isn’t much that is different between one case and the next. With Spir...
Bottom line Personally, the issues I have with the Pininfarina are minor. The biggest one is the hard drive rails, I really think they should get a new system for securing the hard drives in the hard drive ‘box’. I liked the looks of the case when I first...

Question: what does Ferrari and a PC chassis have in common ? Up-to recently... nothing. But last week I got in contact with Spire who most of us know for their broad spectrum of coolers. Recently they introduced a power-supply range which they asked...
Bottom line Clever. Its really very clever what Spire did with this chassis. Face it, the minute the name Pininfarina was on that chassis I was already sold. None the less Ill try and stay as objective as I honestly can be. The Pininfarina SP-ATX-PALU/U case is...

The fit and finish is excellent, the design is well-thought out, and like an exotic car, nothing is included that doesnt benefit from actual usage. A sleek look, useful PCI card retention, and swing-out case sides make this one a winner.
