4 out of 5 eggscheap

Pros: it was cheap. looks good. some other reviews i read said it was hard to install front fan but i had no troubles. This is a great case for the price.

Cons: Pictures make it look like the front of the case has LED's in it. It does not. Cable management is hard to make look nice, but for under 50 bucks what can you expect.

Pros: Cheep, solid, much room inside, easy MB hookup.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Houses my AUSU GeForce GTX 550 Ti which is about 10" with room to spare.

4 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Decent price for this case. good 120mm fan on the back. the plastic side case looks pretty nice if you have LED lights inside.

Cons: Can barely fit my Coolermaster V6 inside and its blocking the side vent so i cant fit another fan.
They should have made room for a fan in the front as well.

Other Thoughts: good for its price but i would suggest getting something just a bit bigger.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Decent, cheap case. For the price, I was pretty happy with it.

A bit on the small side, so it shouldn't be too hard to find a place for it.

Cons: A bit on the small side, especially in width. Don't expect to fit a tall CPU cooler inside it.

The cable for the front-panel audio only barely reached the plug on both motherboards I've used in this case, and both input and output were noisy and low-quality in any case. If using your motherboard's audio ports is anathema, maybe you should look elsewhere.

Other Thoughts: Although not difficult to work in, be warned: it is not at all tool-less. Come with a screwdriver or not at all.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: The hard drives are very easy to access, there is more than enough room with my GeForce GTX 280 (I plan to upgrade and I am not worried about the space), everything is cool and quiet, the case looks good without looking ridiculous, it seems to be doing a decent job not letting cat and dog hair in, and it did not slice me while I was installing everything in it.

Cons: This case is everything I wanted my computer case to be. More than two front USBs would have been a nice touch but for $42.98 shipping included I will live.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: -black, nice looking
-cool looking side window
-lots of room inside for any devices
-3 chassis fan mounts, 120mm fans
-reset button at front
-both side panels removable

Cons: -hard drive mounting - screws only on one side.
-not easy, but possible cable management. mainly depends on your PSU.
-possibly partially restricted airflow for the front fan, but i don't have a fan there. Yes, it would be better if there were more holes in HD caddy

Other Thoughts: i looked at cons from other reviews and:
-i found no sharp edges people were talking about.
-the case is not flimsy, it's just what you expect from a computer case. if you want 1/2 inch steel plates then weld one together yourself...
-hard drives do not touch left case panel. they are close though
-the fact that metal covers for PCI slots and 5in external bays can be removed only once is normal. front 5in bays can be covered by replaceable plastic covers.
-Its a good case for even better price. there is another cooler master i saw for about $10 more too, which has painted insides, and looks a little better, but this one is great too. Definitely recommended.

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent Case

Pros: I was easily able to install all of my components and there's plenty of room to spare. The 120mm fan is whisper quiet and the option for a side mounted fan is a nice feature. I think the case is very aesthetically pleasing with a great acrylic window.

Cons: Difficult to install a front fan.

Other Thoughts: I would STRONGLY suggest a modular power supply because cable management is somewhat difficult otherwise.

4 out of 5 eggsGood case

Pros: It's a good case. It has room at the back to tuck cables if you get creative and use velcro & zip ties. Decent amount of space to work with inside. I got this case for the simple look.

Cons: Now i wish i waited a couple weeks when i bought it, for the NZXT source 210 elite case. This is a decent case for that simple look, but to be honest some of these newer cases are coming with more and more like painted inside, more lool-less designs, more air flow and fan support, etc...
i wish the psu was bottom mounted, that's a definite con for me.

Other Thoughts: It's a good case but at this price i wish i had gotten something else. I plan on getting the NZXT source 210 elite very soon though. I would think good on it before you get like me and want a new case soon after buying.

5 out of 5 eggsAwesome

Pros: This could go on for a while....
1. Cheap
2. 120mm rear fan PLUS places to put 90mm fan, 80mm fan
3. plenty of room
4. Easy to put in motherboard and other parts
5. Cool window on side (Great if you have LED's inside your computer)
6. Surprisingly well made and feels good; overall looks great

This list could go and on XD

Cons: To be honest, nothing

Other Thoughts: Incredible work by cooler master, will buy more products from them in the future, no doubt about that.

5 out of 5 eggsGood case

Pros: Roomy; easy-off side and front panels; nice front-to-back airflow. Included fan is not noisy.

Cons: Purely aesthetic: the side window is large enough to show the enclosures for drives
I *would* like for the USB and audio connections to be higher on the case...

Other Thoughts: I bought one for a new build. I liked it enough to buy another one to transplant the old computer.
