Pros: Good case design, door is easy to open and close, though front door over drives needs to have the hinge on the other side (its made to have the tower on the left side of your computer). Drive bays are beautiful in the ease of slipping them in and out. I had to replace my hard drive twice since I built the comp and this case made it a breeze to pop them in and out since I didn't have to remove the back plate. Slides for the disc drives are also easy to module, very efficient. Inside cables are very well organized and all the internals are mounted in good plugs that are easily identifiable.

Cons: Power supply burned out after about 1.5 months, working on RMA/replacement. Door on the front drive bays has the hinge opening the wrong way. Door in the side of the case does not actually hinge, its just easy to move in and out. It would be much nicer and more functional if you could hinge it or lift it out of the hinge, make it so you don't need to remove the door each time.

Pros: This is a great case, plenty of room and plenty of drive bays as well as expansion slots. The power supply is nice, but I would much rather prefer a power supply module. Overall this is a great case.

Cons: The only thing I don't really care for are the LEDs on the front, and the only reason for this is because of the cables cluttering up the front of the case. If I were to buy a case again I would get a case with LED fans. I would not recommend getting this case if you don't like useless extras.

Pros: I bought this case off of newegg three years ago for my first build. The quality and design of the product is top notch. Plenty of room, great stock ventilation, fancy blue LEDS, and a very accurate temp guage. I could go on and on about this case. This won't disappoint.

Cons: The included PSU is a joke, but that's to be expected in a case/psu bundle.
