Hey again, Gabe,

This case is also just a variant on a case that has been around awhile in several different brands. The first one I saw was the Raidmax Smilodon Dirktooth, next came the Spire Pininfarina with a more conservative appearance and aluminum shell, then along came Sigma with several versions: Phantom, Unicorn and IIRC, there's at least one more. Now Raidmax also has a version very like the Unicorn. It's an interesting case for ease of use features. The chassis metal is also heavier than most these days (0.5 or 0.6mm is seen too often now) as it is 1.0mm "Korean SECC" steel.

Thanks bro. As you notice I am having some trouble identifying cloned cases. I am good at identifying cloned power supplies, but with PSUs it is kind of easy once you find the original manufacturer. With cases it is a little more complicated, as they don't carry a UL number or anything similar.

If you can keep helping me identifying cloned case I'd really appreciate it!

Cheers,
Gabriel.
