I think I see how this case came into being.
Dude 1: I've got an idea, let's make an interesting case.
Dude 2: Yeah, let's take a regular box, rotate is 45 degrees, then hack off the corners.
Dude 1: What? Are you high?
Dude 2: Maybe.... This pizza is so good.
On a serious note, the case is aesthetically nice (which you expect from Alienware), but functionally a mess. It's a standard full ATX sized footprint, with enough space for a mid-sized tower and poorly thought out placement such that you can't fit more than a slim optical drive and have to spool out wires all over the place just to get everything connected. Based upon previous Alienware outings, we are looking at a huge price premium for a less functional box.
If you'd like the idea, you should probably do your own one off case. Rather than a hexagon, make a pentagon. Run the power supply at the bottom, move the disc drive down the face so that a full sized 5.25" drive can be installed, and still have room for a decent collection of HDDs in the case. The change in center of mass means the case will be more stable, and you'll have function with form. Personally, I wouldn't touch this thing with a 20' barge pole.
