Pros: Sort of tall... but a pretty average size for a full towers.
But I want to make use of perfectly good space, so I'll skip right to what this case really has going on.
Cons:
Cable management system is a joke. The plastic cable holders in the back break. Mine came covered with scratches. They also won't hold many thick cables. I've done much better managing cables with my ATCS 840, which has none of those shenanigans.
There are gaps between all the fascia and the rest of the case.
My case feet squealed, cracked, and didn't seem to adjust properly.
The dust filters, hmm... they don't stop dust, and there are far too many open racks and holes all over the case for this to ever occur.
The middle fan is ridiculous to adjust. It gets blocked by necessary cables and mine broke...
The toolless PCI holders don't work... you'll have to snap them off and screw your cards in. Toolless drive bays are also a flimsy hassle.
The plastic dividers are useless, tacky, ugly, an
Cons: This case still gives me nightmares sometimes... When I first got it, I was horrified. I was expecting a clean-looking beat of a case with all the features I could have ever dreamed of... but the first thing I noticed was the super-low quality, brittle, flimsy CHEAP plastic that makes up the majority of the case. And the exterior plastic just screams FISHER-PRICE! Cheesy and silly-looking.
It's also incredibly loud. The stock fans are the typical Therrrrmaltake. The fan on the side window rattled, sucked up dust like a demon, and spewed oil from the bearings. That brings me to another thing. This case has very few good options for intake fans, resulting in a lot of negative pressure... and since the case is riddled with holes, this resulted in a very dusty, yucky case.
Side panels also both rattle.
The side door handle DOES NOT WORK. I had to break through it to get my door off after a whiles.
To finish things up, the 230mm at the top pulls almost no air at all...
Other Thoughts: I sold this case along with my AMD Dragon rig for half its worth a while ago just to rid myself of this piece of junk. By far, the WORST, least classy piece of hardware I've ever spent money on. It's not even worth $100. There are much better options out there. My next case was a Lian Li Lancool and I was VERY pleased with its quality and attention to detail.
Also, people say you can just add in washers between the fan and side panel to reduce noise a little... this is MUCH easier said than done. I tried many times and eventually gave up. You have to see it yourself to see what I mean.
The people giving this case 5 stars must be blockheads or fans of the "poorly riced-out" look. If you have the money to spend, grab a quality case like an Antec 1200 or HAF 932, or even my favorite in the price range, the all aluminum ATCS 840 (which actually weighs more than this piece of junk).
This WILL disappoint if you have any perception of aesthetics.

Pros: This case like everyone has mentioned is huge. One of the largest cases to my knowledge. I swapped all the 120mm fans included for some better flowing ones. The thermal chambers are ok, but i didn't notice a difference with them in so i removed all, but the PSU cover. It holds my Sapphire 4850x2 with no clearance problems at all(gonna swap for a 5970 when it's back in stock!). It also, much to my surprise holds my Thermalright ultra 120 extreme black heatsink(pretty sure its the tallest on the market) with 2 120mm fans without rubbing the 230mm on the side panel. I really can't say enough about the cooling capabilities of this case. It has allowed me to OC my Phenom II 965 140W to 3.95Ghz stable, with some help from that massive heatsink/fan setup lol.
Cons: None at all. If you have problems with the contact for the side panel fan just add some washers behind the screws on the case side of the contact.Problem solved.
Other Thoughts: My build: - MSI 790FX-GD70 motherboard - AMD Phenom II x4 965 140W @ 3.95 Ghz 31C idle 48C on load - Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme Black Rev.C with (2) 120mm fans in push pull config - 4GB GSkill Ripjaws DDR3 16000 memory running @ 1668 Mhz - (2) 500 GB Seagate Baracuda HDDs - Sapphire Radeon HD 4850x2 2GB dual GPU card - 1000 Watt Ultra X3 modular PSU

Pros: Let's say for starters this case is huge. Stock fan cables are long enough to route however and where ever you be it a controller or straight to the power supply. Heat chambers do their job nicely with I am using a coolermaster v10 CPU cooler and can still have the panel fan runnind with no rubbing. As stated in eariler reviews bottom case fan is useless runs very quite considering the amount of fans in use great investment
Cons: The cable management rocks on this thing only complaint with it is the panel covers could have been alittle deeper found my self struggling to snap the top panel inplace do to the 24pin being right there. Also the heat chamber above the power supply was alittle tough to get inplace. The toolless snaps for the expnsion bays are great allthough Minus the L shape to them chipped the corner of a 250 I had in it, don't use them anymore with my 2x 5850's
Other Thoughts: If your in the market and can afford this thing get it you won't be dis appointed at all like I said this things a monster. The box is huge and there is not much air room when you open it the box is all case great packaging
