What cases are used in the new alienware computers?

ok, so i was wrong, however my sx1040 rules. maybe it is steel, but i can stand on top of it, and i manage to keep my idle temp at 34 C with my 1600+ at 1800+ and at load no higher than 42 C. This is with a pal8045 and a panaflo L1A (24cfm). Hell, I don't even need a fan when not overclocking. :-)
