This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: - Light and strong - Aluminum so great heat dissipation - Removable HD tray and drive racks - Easily removable front cover (no screws) - Intake fan cover to minimize dust - Stock fans quiet - Good-looking
Cons: - Front panel cables (Power LED, Power Switch, etc) were a little short to reach down to my motherboard. I had to run them almost directly across the case which was annoying - Shows fingerprints easily - Stock fans don't move a lot of air
Other Thoughts: Came very well-packaged without any blemishes. Everything was very easy to install with no issues. The removal front panel was perfect for throwing in my optical drive. Like previously mentioned, I had a little trouble with the front panel wires; they are run down the side of the case to the bottom, secured in place, then across the bottom. This was just too short for the pin placement on my motherboard. I unhooked the securing fasteners and they fit just fine. The removable HD tray was a big help and set far enough so even very large video cards have room. The fans leave something to be desired, I'll probably be replacing them. But since there are only two it keeps the case quiet. The brushed aluminum look great and the overall construction of the case is top-notch.

Pros: Excellent fit and finish. Very good construction. Looks great and it seems to have good ventilation. Did not notice any sharp edges.
Cons: having a firewire front port instead of a sata port. Who uses firewire anymore ? Does not have a removable motherboard tray - but that is really not a big deal since the case is large enough to work in. I originally thought not having a front door was a con but now having this case I prefer not having the front door. The black cd drive we got for it does not stick out like a sore thumb. I thought the price tag was a little steep compared to other cases out there however the quality of the construction must count for something I guess !
Other Thoughts: Not having any reviews made me leery about this case. However, I liked the looks and it fit the space I had for it. I was very pleasantly surprised when I received the case - The fit and finish surpassed my expectations and I thought the thickness of the aluminum sides was similar to my last lan-li case I purchased in 2002 - which was decent. That was the last computer I had built. No rattles or anything from the case - seems reasonably solid. I was not crazy about the "top heavy" look of the case but when we put in the cd drive in the slot above the power button it balanced the look. We liked the front power button. Buttons on the top of the case can collect dust. Not venting out of the top of the case allows you to use it as a shelf if you want. I was afraid the holes in the front grille might be too transparent but that did not turn out to be the case. I also debated getting a case with a front door - which this case does not have. However, I now prefer not having a door
