Good but somethings Missing

Pros: Great cases for the i7 I am running in it and relatively quiet for a home built system. The Neon blue helps me see how things are on the inside and add a little to the cool factor. Controlling the RPMs of the fans is simple and easy. Good location for connecting a headphone and mic onto the front and it works great.

Cons: I get it open and start building it and come tofind out that I am missing the lack latches for floppy drives. I checked the internal cases container and the MASSIVE box (a given since the case is large as well) and still did not find it with all my searches through the other rack latches.

Other Thoughts: The cases is great and the only other downside is the loss of sleep from the bright blue LEDs. Wish there was a way to shut them off at night.

A Good Case

Pros: Nice window on the side, makes all the pretty lights in my case easy to show off. The overall design is clean and attractive, lights are a vibrant blue. The temp gauge on the front is easy to read, the fan speed controls easy to use (although the fans are so quiet you may as well leave them maxed). The HDD and 5.25" drive bays are fantastically easy to use, I'm so glad I don't need screwdrivers to swap drives!

Cons: The fan speed control and power plugs are not labeled or identified well, so the instructions for setting up the speed controls were not easy to follow. Took me a fair amount of double-checking to be sure I had it right.

The power leads for the rear fans are in a somewhat annoying place. I try to keep all the cables tied down and out of the way, but there's not really any place to do that for the rear fans. There are wires hanging uncomfortably close to the CPU cooler fan. A crossbar or something directly below the power supply would have been perfect for zipping to.

Other Thoughts: The size is as advertised, so don't buy this unless you want a very large case.
