Roomy and great quality
- Pros: This freakin case is mammothly huge! I love it, everything was so easy to install. The 25cm fan is unbelievable. Inside has enough room to park a car after I installed everything. Great expandability, well thought out case. Accessory drawer a nice touch. It is nice to look at too.
- Cons: My roommate asked if I had inadvertantly bought a server tower. Some sharp edges inside, had a few battle wounds after install was completed, but I am a bit clutsy.
- Other Thoughts: My new setup is running so cool, I cannot believe it. This case is SO much quieter than my last one. Buy one, you won't be sorry. Newegg rocks!
Great case
- Pros: Plenty of room for everything you can imagine. Hard drive in the back with cooling or you can have it in the front, or if you have alot then have them both places. The silver version is all aluminum and pretty light for its size(which is huge). Plenty of cooling, and small holes in the bottom of the case as well. Packaging was great and came in a cloth bag. All of the fans are very quite even the side huge 250mm panel one. Side panel fits on very well and feels solid
- Cons: I had to take out the top usb/headhone jacks to get my power supply (OCZ powerstream) in, but it was easy to do and could be put back in once i was done. The top fan fit very snugly with my power supply in. Front doors dont latch and move if touched at all and very squeaky. Large case and cable length could be a problem. Bottom drawer thing is a nice idea, but seems like it is made cheap. With the side fan you can barely see inside the case, if you like showing off your mobo,ect this could be a turnoff
- Other Thoughts: Overall I am very very happy with my purchase. The great airflow and upgradeability of this case will make me keep it for some time. The Side fan is a great idea and seems to move a good deal of air while being very quite. The tooless design works well and holds things pretty secure, the front drive bays can have screws added to hold things in place.

Case Closed i have a winner
- Pros: Easy install,Great airflow and so much room!!!
- Cons: some edges are sharp i too got a few battle wounds
- Other Thoughts: if ur packin a big PSU youll need to move top fan over a few inches and drill it in
AMAZING!
- Pros: First thing, great cooling!!!!! The fans on this are amazing. The design is very good too. There really are not words to describe how much I'm enjoying this case. The best I can do is it is HOT (Well Cold). I like the fans dedicated to cooling just hard drives. Then there are 2 others to circulate air. This case is quite too. I read reviews from people saying how loud thiers is, I hear my hard drives over it. Overall, this case bring together style, scalibility, and professionality.
- Cons: Nothign major, as I read, I had to remove the USB/Audio port on top to put in my power supply. This is extremely easy, remove a screw and it slides out. Also, if you are putting in a floppy drive, it is a bit hard to figure out how to remove the metal mesh that covers the slot. I ended up just bending the little tab that held it in and pulling it out. Lastly, my graphics card was running hot because it didn't get ANY air flow, so I bought a cheap ($7) thermaltake GPU PCI slot fan. simple fix.
- Other Thoughts: This case is HUGE. Litterally. I feel sorry for the UPS man. It comes up to the keyboard drawer, and is about 1.5 times wider then my old one. Although it is pretty light. The edges of the whole inside are very sharp. I cut my hand twice (nothing too bad) and couldn't figure out where it came from. The side fin things on the front are somewhat sharp, but not enough to cut.
Rough start, great outcome
- Pros: This case does what it is designed to do, keep your components nice and cool. Very roomy with great air-flow.
- Cons: None once everything is set up and runing, but a royal pain in the rear to get there... I'll explain in "Other thoughts"
- Other Thoughts: This is my second time dealing with this case. I first used it for a client of mine and now one for myself. Each time proved to be a pain to get together. The case has too many things that get in the way more they they help, such as all of the tool-free features. They are just pointless and not wll executed. I removed all of those features from my personal build, opting to use good ol' screws. At any rate, once everything is said and done, this case is fantastic when it comes to looking really good and keeping the tempuratures WAY down. This is why dispite all the troubles getting it together, I gave it 5 eggs anyway.
