APEVIA X-TELSTAR-JR S-Type X-TSJST-AL Silver / Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Everything I needed came with the case. It looks and mostly works great.

Cons: The headphone cable is stretched quite a bit, and I have some noise when using headphones. I'm not sure if it's the case, and I haven't made a huge effort to fix it yet, so who knows.

Pros: Looks good and has easy access to the case interior.
Nice looking LCD display for heat, voltage, and sound.
Fan speed control is a nice feature.

Cons: snaps on the PCI slots are feeble you'll have to use screws to secure anything in the slot.
The 250 mm fan is quiet but under powered. It quite often needs a physical push to get it started. I mailed the rebate and recieved nothing.

Other Thoughts: The case coast me $80 pluse shipping ( the mail in rebate never came back) I would expect a case with less buggs for that price.

Pros: Sexy design, blue brushed aluminum look, great ventilation on the mobo.. everything I said earlier!

Cons: Same as ones stated earlier.

Other Thoughts: after owning the case now for 8 months I wanted to update my opinion a bit:
1) everyone who has walked passed this computer has stopped an commented on how beautiful the case is without it even being pointed out! This thing is great!
2) the big fan gets dusty on the grill and needs to be wiped off (which I gladly do daily anyway!).. if you DON'T wipe it off for a few days (I leave mine running all the time), the the case starts getting warmer inside.. about 10C warmer after 2 weeks in my house with the houses furnace running blowing dust everywhere.
3) The ventilation is bad around the drives. I've had my drives heat up and shut down one me (after runhning as a database and web development for two or three weeks without ever being shut down.. three drives in the bay running RAID 5, so it's packed), so I'm back at newegg buying fans today.

Pros: Size, Blue lighting, control knob, sensors and meters LCD panel, brushed aluminum, solid construction, including the door, three HD bay snap-in design, silent fans even at full, VERY good ventilation with the volleyball size fan. entire case stays around 35C.

Cons: snappers for PCI slots have a hard time securing big graphics cards.

Other Thoughts: If you aree considering this case and another case, get this one. Hands down, no questions asked. Your ventilation is as good as any you can get, the case is sexy as all get out, and goes the extra mile with thermometer and lcd display. Even my wife likes the design.. this is the only case she would allow in her house!
