IBuyPower Gamer Extreme Review

- This IBuyPower's midsize tower case has an "eye" on its front that reminds us of KITT on David Hasselhoff's pre-BayWatch show, Knight Rider. While the silver-and-black case with a translucent blue-lit side panel is eye-catching, it's what's inside that really counts.
