GMC AVC-K1 Muse Media PC Case

The GMC Corporation (not to be confused with General Motors in the USA) is a Korean company that has produced some of the most innovative case designs in recent memory. OCmodshop has had a chance to review some of their creations in the past, and each of their designs has provided a good shot in the arm of ingenuity for the PC industry.

The same can be said for the Home Theater PC Market. Now, everyone is jumping on board with Media Cases, and many of them copy each others features or designs, so that many start to look rather stale in comparison. If you take a look down the Boom Box (or “Personal Stereo”) aisle of Best Buy, you will see that music systems have changed dramatically in the past decade. Stereo equipment is no longer the sleek black box, but in-your-face designs with custom VFDs and a million flashing lights. Why can’t we have the same look in our Personal Computers?

GMC did the thinking for you, and has unveiled their Noblesse AV K1 Multimedia Case, which looks like it belongs with the super-boss stereo systems in the college dorm room. I bet even the hip “Mac Guy” would even be proud to have one in his room. This case comes with more buttons, knobs, flashing lights than a futuristic service bot from BladeRunner (extra emphasis on the “service”).
