That case is metal, I have a V570 and its great, core i5, 16gb ram, i have a ssd and hard drive. That has full fan control as well, so you should really stop spouting off nonsense. The newer sandy bridge and ivy bridge dont ever run hot, I game on mine, run photshop and video editing programs and never gets warm at all. Just cause you owned a cheap ass dell 6 years ago with a core2 doesn't mean they are all like that now. Oh and I dual boot OS X and windows 7.
