Pros: -quiet
-Cool look
-Great Cooling
-Plenty of space
I bought this as a little something to end the summer off with and was not diss pleased.
First what can i say I love the LED's and the fans cooling is amazing in other reviews people say the LED's hit on the fans its a lie but just to be sure bend them back to be sure. I also find that the cooling is not loud the only time its loud is on startup and that goes down quite fast. I got it when it was on sale for 49.99 and it came a day earlyer than was expected! what a surprise that was but over all I find that its a perfect case it also was easy for me since it was my first time building a computer :)

Cons: - I added another 120mm fan just because im a over exadurating cooling freak but thats me
- Make sure u plug the start up front panel plugs in correctly or else it wont startup and u'll be frustrated when its a simple thing to fix it check your Motherboards manual it will tell you what to do.

Other Thoughts: - if you have a extra fan add it
-Its not the looks that matter on your rig its the cooling and space that counts, along with the stuff inside it ^_^

Pros: -looks
-compact size (IMO)
-well made
-3 large fans
-lights (option of on or offf)

Cons: -weak fans
-noise (compared to other cases)
-scratches easily
-usb location (not a con for me)
-power led is 3 pin not 2 pin like my mobo accepts (simple mod fixes that)
-almost requires an extra 120mm fan
-had it for one monthish theres already a dust ring around the front fan (should clean your box out once a month any. Not used to doing it the old fashioned way b/c I previously had an antec case with dust filters-very convenient

Other Thoughts: If you have a spare 120mm fan lying around you don't have to worry about heat issues like others have reported. The case looks good and the size is just right for my needs
