The BitFenix Shadow looks pretty sweet with its dual LED lighting element in the front, which can be toggled off, red, or blue. Is the chassis able to shine or will it have to stay in the shadows due to shortcomings?

It looks good, with the LED off, but it seems to expensive for what is is.

About the locking mechanisms: Are the pegs that goes into the holes plastic or metal? I had an old CM case with those locks, they had metal pegs and where surprisingly sturdy. I swapped many components in that case, the locks never failed.
