Could come wrapped in brown paper for me.
All i would be bothered about is the performance, which from the review it comes out admirably.
Its rare ive seen cases with the power supply on view when windows are fitted.
It could look like Amy winehouse for i care.. long as it performs. ( Hmm perhaps a bad comparison there but im sure you get my drift )
Know what you mean about the paint, My Antec 1000w Quattro is sprayed and just looking at it, it threatens to scratch the paintwork. Would only possibly affect the resale value in the long run though.
