Pros: * Got it on sale, so the price was good. * One of the better looking HTPC cases out there. * Decent airflow * Comes with a 300W supply, which is more than enough for my htpc needs. * Room for two 3.5" drives
Cons: * Annoyingly short power cables. 20Pin connector barely makes it to the other side of the case, which makes cable management very annoying. * Bad placement of installed fans. The fan next to the CPU bumps up against the motherboard's supply. Should be under the from hard drive case. * Pretty bad usability considering it is a Lian-Li. Have to basically take off the whole cross brace to add a hard drive to the top tray. * CD tray is terrible. Mine came without the double sided sticker. The button gets stuck if you don't tweak the drive distance just right. I don't know why they didn't just include the nice covers that fold down like they do in the PC-A17 which I have and love. * There are other bad assembly features which make the case harder to use than necessary
Other Thoughts: I'd look for something else if I were going to do this again.. but sadly there isn't much else out there that looks great and is relatively inexpensive.

Good but has some flaws

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: - Looks great (that's why I bought it) - Nice layout to fit 5.25 drive and two slots for 3.25 drives.
Cons: - There are two ways to fit additional cards into this chassis, one is using the riser and the other is to replace the back panel. Both of them gave me problems. For the first one the riser support hinges interefered with some components on my motherboard. When you buy a motherboard to fit in this chassis, make sure there's nothing around the backpanel area (like small capacitors and all). With the second one I had problems fitting my backpanel cover that came with the motherboard. I had to hand-mod it to fit it. - The power and HDD LED are not working. - I don't know why by the MSG connector for motherboard (the light that indicates that the computer is running or suspended) has three pin slot instead of a regular 2 pin one, I could not connect the power indicator on my motherboard.
Other Thoughts: This is a good chassis, but some really stupid design flaws make it annoying to deal with.
