When it comes to computer cases, you almost
always end up taking a gamble. You never seem to have the best of both
worlds and there is always some sort of compromise. Whether you are
after the highest quality case, one offering the highest number of features
or strictly after the most aesthetically pleasing chassis, there's always a
fine line between all. After taking a look at a number over the years,
I have found that you need to determine which of these is most important
before deciding on one that will run your high-end components. The
product we look at here focuses primarily on one of these areas and that is
style. Sigma, a sister company of RaidMax, offers a number of cases
that strictly focus on design and most are a bit out of the ordinary. One such case is the Luna Type W sent
over for review. Let's have a detailed look...

The very first thing that shocked me was just
how light the box was. Mind you, it does appropriately come
double-boxed, a necessity for cases based on past experience with many
shippers. The Luna comes with a brief owner's manual, product brochure
and a white box including your installation hardware. If you opt for
the window model, it does come shipped with the side panel and windows
accents protected via a layer of thin plastic.

I would like to once again comment on its
weight. This is, by far, the lightest mid-tower chassis I have ever
seen. It is remarkably light despite the thick and sexy aluminum front
panel that it features. The Type W sports a side panel window that is
accented by some metal-like arrow shaped place holders. These are
definitely not what they seem and I'll cover that in the next section.
The back is fairly standard but I'm sure you noticed by now one very
apparent difference that I will elaborate on in the next section.
