OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
Do you want your next computer to stand out from the crowd? Here's an ATX-compatible mid-sized tower that should do the trick. A large viewport lets you see the inner workings, illuminated by the 120mm LED fans on the side and rear. An empty slot is ready for the power supply that's right for you. Seven I/O slots and numerous drive bays give you room for expansion. It can hold large cards like the Nvidia 8800GTX and further, it's pre-drilled to allow for external water cooling!

Two USB 2.0 front ports, two audio front ports and two Firewire (IEEE 1394) front ports make connections easy to reach. Screwless installation makes for faster installations and faster component swaps, and no tiny screws to get hopelessly lost.

Stylish without being gaudy; could this be your next computer case? Look it over and see for yourself.

Good Case

white Reviewed By: IUSEDTOBECRAZY on 12/15/2007
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Full featured mid atx case with alot of dings and whistles. Looks better than the original,( solid black vs Silver faced) about $40 cheaper and 40 pounds heavier. The weight is not an issue as I am used to lugging kegs around all day long. Don't second guess it though, this case is NICE! external water cooling can be added later on without alot of hassle and 8800gtx friendly
Cons: The fans aren't the highest quality but the average case modder usually throws them out anyway. The dust covers restrict air flow critical to keeping an Sli setup cooled off, So I took them out. The temps dropped about 5-7 degrees after that.
Other Thoughts: I like the bottom vent area. If I (you) really needed to, I could put an aerocool externally on the bottom to push cooler air into the case into the graphics card area.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This case just looks good! The pictures don't do it justice. It has plenty of room for whatever you could want in it, comes with 4 fans but can take a 5th fan on the bottom.
Cons: The hard drive slots aren't parallel with everything else. It's aesthetically pleasing and makes for easy access to them but can be a hassle of you have thick or short cables. Also, the screws on the left side of the case keep the door from opening unless you unscrew them, and the door is a panel with no hinge. Not a big deal but the pictures are misleading.
Other Thoughts: I have no regrets with this case, and plan on using this for a long time.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: simple, efficient case design
sideways HDD slots
four case fans to start (one with LED)
locking mechanism on the side door (so nobody steals your video card?)
fits wide range of motherboard standards
Cons: the manual is COMPLETELY useless (i think it was translated directly from taiwanese AND it neglects incredibly important details)
in order to open the side you have to undo two screws on the back (i've just left them out due to the fact that its stupid)
if you dont like front case doors, bad news, this one has your power LED and HDD LED built into it so you cant just rip it off
sometimes to install the 3.5" bays you got to remove the whole front panel, which is kind of frightening because the panel is plastic and you'd swear you're on the verge of breaking it.
screwless PCI slots dont work as advertised and so is just kinda in the way more than anything
Other Thoughts: simply gorgeous case, its both form and functionality in one cheap package
if you dont like red, they make one in blue (thats what i got) that works just as good
my power supply is a 1000W behemoth so i had to completely remove the top case fan but unless, like me, you dont have enough sense to buy a moderate sized PSU, it should hold any others just fine.
only 2 3.5" slots???
individually labeled front header wires were a godsend
screwless drive rails were kinda hit and miss for me, worked great on my HDD and BD-drive but didnt hold my media center remote reciever too well.
and one last note, since i use this computer for watching Blu-ray movies at first i pointed the case towards me, but the flashing HDD LED was so bright i felt like i was getting an eye exam, so i had to angle it about 45 degrees away from my face to fix it (but since i got the remote working. i just open the door anyway XD )

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: Excellent air flow, plenty of fans with filters, plenty of room for a mid tower. But most of all probably one of the companies with the best customer service I have ever delt with. Any problems or missing parts just contact them and they immediatly send you what you need. Provide proof of purchase and bam 3 days later it's taken care of.
Cons: NONE
Other Thoughts: They have plenty of models avalible in different price ranges. They're buit sturdy, screwless, easy to install in, with good cable management. I have purchased over 8 from them.
