Fractal Design Core 1000 Case

[Ian]

Anandtech take a look at the Fractal Design Core 1000 case, a budget case that comes with a few compromises:

Fractal Design has been making a lot of waves with their lineup of minimalistic but effective enclosures, but most of those kits have been $80 or more. Today we have their Core 1000, a fascinating-looking case that retails for just $39.99. Does it bring the same magic to this end of the market that Fractal Design has brought with their other efforts, or has too much been left on the cutting room floor?

Very similar to the Merc Alpha and Beta cases by the look of it. I have a Merc Alpha, it does the job, looks ok, but it does kinda shout 'budget' when you're putting a system together.
