Pros: Case was alot more sturdy than i was anticipating.
the dual fan slots on the front of the case is a great design.
gauges and lighting works perfect.

Cons: My Apevia power supply didn't fit into the case because of the rail running along the top of the case. Major flaw!!
Also the front door on the enclosure is flimsy and a cheap plastic

Other Thoughts: great case for the price, recommended for first timers.

Pros: Love the color but was hoping for a little more orange hue like the pic. I call it a rusty-red color. Lots of room. Added 120mm fan and two 80mm fans for extra cooling and does the job. MB, PS and all other parts including HD4850 fit with no issues. Had all needed mounts/screws/etc. Overall, fun case that was easy to work with.

Cons: The metal is thin but I expected that. Not a case that you want to make a portable LAN party rig with.

Pros: I love this case!!! Plenty of room. Will handle a regular size atx board comfortably or a matx just fine! Held my 750 watt psu just fine as well! Plenty of room for my 9600 graphics card as well! Plenty of hard drive slots and enough slots for cd/dvd drive/card reader/floppy drive! Cannot complain! Not too heavy a case and supports everything very well! I also love the lights and meters! A big plus!!! Also the fact that it has fans that the speeds are controlled; a great option!

Cons: The only cons that i can think of is that a good manual for the led lights and meters would have been a plus for me considering i had never hooked up those kind of fan speed controls and door panel lights or meters before; seeing they are only oriented to this type case! And I wish the fans were not the small ones; especially the one on the back! The top one is okay considering room needed for the power supply; but better rear ventilation would have really done this case justice (although i will latter add a bigger fan on the back) as there is not a lot to not like about it!

Other Thoughts: I really do love these cases as i bought two of them (different colors); one for me and one for my son! Both have worked out great! I was a little apprehensive at first because i had got hold of a cheap aluminum case a few yrs back and everything rattled and screw holes stripped out easily! This case fooled me! It seemed lightweight; but after the built it feels as solid as any that i have ever used and does not have a lot of weight (tank-heavy) to deal with! A very great price and yes; i would not hesitate buying more of these! Definately worthy of five *Eggs*!!! I did have to modify the side panel air shoots because of using aftermarket cpu heatsinks/coolers; to be expected! I've heard it said and now i say it; NewEgg Rocks!!!!!
