While I was at CES this past year, Cooler Master was displaying some really awesome computer cases from CSX (collaborative effort between Cooler Master and Smooth Creations). These cases had amazing custom air-brushed paint jobs with incredible detail - easily the nicest paint jobs that I have ever seen on a computer case.

I recently got the opportunity to review a CSX case and, of the ones that were available, selected the Wraith (I had my eye on the Fallen Angel, which I saw at CES and it was simply amazing). The Wraith is painted on a Cooler Master Stacker 830, which in itself, is a great chassis.


Each CSX case is hand-painted, meaning that no two cases are exactly alike. Each product in a specific series is numbered, making it an instant collectible. Getting lucky and receiving the very first case of a series like I did is even cooler! You even receive a Certificate of Authenticity with your purchase.

A paint job of this caliber (automotive quality - it has clear coat and you can even wax it) does come at a price, however. Expect to drop of anywhere from $899.99 to $1,299 for a custom CSX chassis.
