"Also included were shockproof pads on the 3-½ hard drive cage to help protect the hard drives from damage due to transit. This should be a welcomed innovation to gamers who regularly attend LAN parties and are always worried about crashing their hard drive due to movement. While we are not sure how much additional protection this strategy offers, it is nice to see the Compucase team trying to come up with innovative ideas to at least try to address this."

Tom's Hardware case reviews
I checked out the Tom's Hardware case review just posted on the site. To my astonishment i found this little gem in the review. For those of you who doesn't get it right away, the shockproof pads he is referring to is preinstalled rubber grommets for damping vibrational noise from the harddrive.
Seriously, these cases are so ugly, but its not just limited to cases! Have any of you guys seen the electronics stores like Circuit City or Best Buy? There stereo shelf systems are ugly and BIG. Cars are the same way, all of them are partially trying to copy the modded Integras and Civics (and Neons, etc..., I don't want to be flamed ...) I had to hunt to find a plain descent looking case that WASN'T an Antec/Chenneming... bah.
