Nice case
- Pros: This case does have very nice airflow, though I do recommend picking up an extra 120mm fan for the front which fits nicely just in front of your hard drives.
The toolless setup is pretty good, though there is the potential for some wobble, I went ahead and used screws for my hd and the toolless for everything else.
- Cons: Washable air filter? Kinda. The front of the case is rather pesky to remove, which by the way the manual does not cover. And some of the filters are removeable from the mesh some aren't. Since the filters are so hard to remove and will collect dust i'd rather not have them and simply vaccum the dust out of the case, it would be easier.
- Other Thoughts: The side panels are prehaps a bit thinner than I really like, but overall it's pretty solid.
Other than that it's a bit on the small side for a mid tower, but provides enough space to work in and mount your gear. Tight clearence with big cpu coolers as well.
Cooler Master 4tW
- Pros: Stylish. Cheap with included PSU. Roomy.
- Cons: Quick fasteners under-designed. If screws are used to secure expansion cards, the quick fastener will not reseat properly.
- Other Thoughts: I have never been disappointed with a cooler master case. This is one of the, if not THE, lowest end case they make. Despite that fact, it was a cinch to build into after fooling with the quick fasteners.

Nice Case
- Pros: Nice Case. Easy to install HD, DVD, etc. I'm using it for a Home Server Install.
- Cons: Power Supply only has one SATA connector!!!!
Decent case for a low end build
- Pros: Fits a mATX mobo perfectly and has a 20+4 pin on the PSU.
I like the locking mechanism for the drives as well.
Nothing special but that's what my Cosmos is for.
- Cons: Off brand PSU (Thermal somthing?), very sharp edges, low gauge metal that can bend easily if not careful. Nothing horrible though.
- Other Thoughts: I have only had this case for 2 days so, time will tell if this case is worth the stones I put up for it. My main concern is the the off brand PSU, the last thing I want is for this client to call me up in a couple of weeks and tell me it won't turn on...if it does I will update my review.
- Pros: Plenty of room. I ordered this case for a re-build for my mom. I see a lot of people have written reviews disliking the tool-less drive mounts, but I had no issues with it. Installation was a breeze.
- Cons: The case came with a 350 watt PSU. It does what it needs to, but it only had one SATA power connection. Luckily I had a few molex to SATA power adapters, but it was quite dissapointing.
- Other Thoughts: Overall, a good case. I took the advice of others and installed an extra 120mm fan in the front of the case. It keeps the system running at a cool 29C at idle.
