Alienware builds high-performance tactical exoskeletons for your work-and-play systems, and this one—a Woot! exclusive—is no exception. The MJ-12 mid-tower ATX case is sufficiently respectable to pass muster in the staid-and-stodgy workplace, but stylish enough to get a second look from the emo-rocker IT guy when he stops by to reset your password again. Pick something you can remember this time.

“Why should I care about a case?” you ask. “My mother always said it’s what’s inside that really matters. And that you can’t judge a book by its cover.”

Yeah, well, tell it to the turtle born without a shell and to our church liturgist. Oh, you can’t, because they’ve been eaten by a bird and thrown in jail for reading PENTHOUSE LETTERS to the congregation instead of today’s lesson from Leviticus, respectively.

Your mother lied to you, kid: What’s on the outside is a seriously big deal. Especially when it’s the outsides that provide superior security, enhanced ventilation, convenient managed access, front-accessible ports and that unique Alienware flair, like this case does. It’s NVIDIA SLI ready, has a locking front door, and has a breezy grill that keeps your system better-ventilated than Ruben Studdard in an extra-small hospital gown.

After all, you’ve given a lot of thought to what goes into your system. Shouldn’t you give some thought to what your system goes into?
