I received some comments and critics from other Websites and Users about our AL-555 review.
They told me something about advertised review and other not nice things.
So I want to state here to sort this out:
At first I would like to say: Yes, we are sponsored by GSM, but the review is written as the product is.
I know a lot of sites,most of them looking very serious, who definitely writing sponsored reviews and they don´t tell the whole truth about the products.
But we don´t do this. We always writing absolute fair and truthful reviews.
If we wouldn´t do that, we would kick ourself out.
We try to help GSM to get known in europe and the us.
GSM sells high quality cases. I have seen the products coming up the next weeks and I swear you, you haven´t seen so well designed products before.
Before you call as liar or a captivated site, try to get the products and test them on you own. And then decide what is the truth.
We are not as professional as other sites look like, but when i can say something to you: We tell you the truth and the case is that good that I have written in the review.
Try it yourself: Go to your local store, and when he have the case, check it out and test for youself.
Oh, and btw, with the help of GSM, we have removed the traffichome popup you all hated so much.

I posted a comment to the review which I'd like to expand upon here.... The case looks remarkably similar to the Atlas/Directron SF-201 which I happen to own. It has the same magnesium/aluminum construction and features, which you can see here: http://www.directron.com/mg.html. The only difference that I can see between the two is that the GSM version has the additional front port firewire connector that the Directron SF-201 does not have... a nice touch for those with DV cameras. Though it may not be a GSM "exclusive" this is a top-notch case that features extremely high quality construction and materials. I sure love my SF-201....
First post here, just registered after reading Degger's comment. I've visited warp2search for a while, but I was always leery because of that Traffic popunder ad. I was thinking that in your spare time you were hacking everyones machines/distributing hacking tools/general mischief.
I was thrilled to read that because of GSM you could get rid of it, and I now realise that it was just an ad, having nothing to do with you, and all is cool here!
As for this case, I have to agree with eviluncledave, as I have the same case as well (actually the box says: Super Flower TT-50), except for the firewire port on the front.
Have to say I agree completely with the review. This case is great, it looks slick, keeps everything very cool dvd/cdburner/floppy/3 HD (2 in raid in the removable caddy/1 below the floppy) and there are no heat problems even under a full load of WWIIOL. I took the thumbscrews out of the empty pci slot covers and used them for the powersupply for quick replacement of power supply if needed.
I personally would have given this a perfect 5, but I assume the .5 deduction is for price.
Oh, did your case come with a power supply? Mine did not, which is okay because I never use the power supply which comes with a case anyways. You may want to mention that in the article, unless this is common among kick-ass casebuilders. This was my first "Real" pc case (never bought a case over $50 cause im cheap), and all my cheapo cases came with even cheaper power supplies.
Keep kicking ass!

One word about sponsored reviews:
I noticed on a lot of websites, especially the nonprofessional, that the writing a review about product and that they have no critics about products and anytime 5 out of 5 points or something else.
The firms WANT that you place ads and when you write critics against them, you never receive a review sample again.
But our deals with GSM says: Write the reviews "as they are", if you have critics then write them. It s good for you and good for us cause we know how good our products really are.
We received a review example from them, it was a 5.1 Loudspeakerset. We tested the set and the Loudspeakers were absolute crap. Only the bass was great.
I told them: Hey, you LS are crap, should I really write a review about this? When I do this, i can´t write a good one cause the LS are so bad.
After 4 days we received another set of Loudspeakers and that was absolute ok. They talked with there companys to told that what kind of shit they sold and the company changes the production immediatly.
GSM is a great company with a great product manager and CEO. (btw, he is a german like us). They want our help to improve their products cause they only want to sell high quality productes which are absolute great in quality.
We advise GSM with they products, we tell them our absolute opinions if they good or if they bad. And when we write a article about their products, you can be shure, that we only write that, what we really think about their products. I want to be fair to myself and to you!

In regard of the case review and the sponsor ship I would like to clarify this issue:
- We are a small trading company based in Hong Kong and China and do trading in computer hardware. We have to all our suppliers very good contacts and did a lot research before we started business, it took us more than 6 month to get these product range together.
- Having a company and getting customers are two different issues. So what to do? Well, I know warp2search quite a while and had mostly everyday a look on their page. I know they are Germans and have a German webpage too. Therefore we contacted w2s and asked them if we could be their sponsor. All we requested was putting up some adds and we do these adds ourselves and they are not blinking etc., I believe some are quite funny.
- During our communication, we, GSM-INTERNATIONAL LTD., stated, that if we send products for review, they have to be reviewed as they are and if something is not okay, it has to be said.
- We do not fear a bad review, it only will give us the opportunity to improve our products.
And as a final remark: After the review of the case I received more than 10 messages from other websites, which asked for to get products for review and offered us ads, banners etc., so what's the difference?
We will stay with warp for our advertising campaign and hope that all will have some revenue out of it.
