5 out of 5 eggsExcellent Buy

Pros: Beats anything I have found for the price
Plenty of room for fans (I have 4 installed now) could possibly squeeze 6 depending on your graphics card(size)
Cool looking design

Cons: On the heavy side. But who cares I don't think desktops were meant to be carried around.
USB, Audio, and mic imput slots not in place very well. Push in a little bit when plugging something in.

Other Thoughts: This is a good buy for the price. I would recommend this to anyone looking to build their own PC(what I did) or to upgrade up from their current tower.

4 out of 5 eggsGreat, but front panel

Pros: This case is very good. The quality is good. Great air flow and cable management.

4 out of 5 eggsReasonable limitations

Pros: Spacious interior. Lots of included thumbscrews; those and other screws in individually labeled bags. Tool-free mounts for 3.5" drives. Re-usable slot-covers. Some cable management; see con. Fairly sturdy for a budget case. Included fan is quiet; has molex and 3-pin connectors. Front panel connector cables long enough. Plenty of additional fan mounts.

Cons: No included piezo. Very limited room for cables behind mobo; the main cable MUST be fitted into a specific channel to allow the side to close. No hole to route CPU power cable behind mobo. No noise insulation on drive mounts or PSU. HDD Activity LED almost too dim to see. Any interior noise readily gets out. No 2.5" mount points. No USB 3.0.

Other Thoughts: At twice the price, the shortcomings of this case would knock at least one more egg off, but for the current price it's a good case. I don't think there is enough cable management space for PCIe power cables, but it's enough for low power systems that don't have power-hungry graphics cards.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Onus,

Please let us know if you have any questions or need for assistance at anytime via our Helpdesk at URL: http://nzxt.com/support. We are always happy to help.

4 out of 5 eggsThe poor student's case.

Pros: Cable routing behind the motherboard.
Power supply secured at bottom.
Plenty of room for storage drives.
Nice, grainy surface finish.

Cons: Backwards-facing hard drive cages that are not secured by screws.
Somewhat thin material.
Thinness and holes in the case give it an open feel.
Plastic screws provided.
2.0 USB on the front panel.

Other Thoughts: I like the look of this case. I think the compromise of some things is made up by the excellent price of the product.

3 out of 5 eggsGot What I Paid For

Pros: Really nice space on the inside, enough for a full sized Motherboard and GPU to be installed and the side mounted Hard Drive bays make it easy to add more drives or swap any out.

Cons: Front audio ports have a slight feedback that just gets on my nerves after a while so I have to plug my headset into the Mobo's on-board audio. My motherboard sits in at a slight slant which makes it hard utilize my USB 3.0 ports

Other Thoughts: I definitely got what I paid for it's and excellent case in terms of looks and space for the price but I had to take off 2 eggs for the motherboard slant and the faulty front audio ports.

Manufacturer Response:

4 out of 5 eggsGood for the Money

Pros: Cheap. Better than most cheap cases. Good cord management. Lots of space

Cons: The front audio port never worked for me. I might have just wired something wrong but so far, when I plug headphones in all the sound locates to the left. Also front panel is a bit flimsy but not a big deal.

Other Thoughts: Good for money, I used this in my $50 build. Only get this if you plan on upgrading, I know I am.

4 out of 5 eggsGreat case

Pros: -Great Space! Fit my recent upgrades of massive 2 gig GPUs, etc.!
-Rooms for upgrades! 2 spots for 2 side case fans
-Makes cable management not as much a hassle
-Looks cool! (in my opinion)
-Bought the NZXT Mesh fan controller so you can control all your fans and it blends in with the rest of the case :)
-Side window if you have goodness glowing inside

Cons: -front part of the case that juts out is cheaply made, 2 bottom brackets already broken some how, it's not a big deal.. as long as it doesn't get worse.
-Big! (although I didn't knock an egg off for this of course)

Other Thoughts: Great case if you are strapped on money! BUT you also get what you pay for, not to knock off the case but if you are really looking for a sturdy rig in the future fork out an extra $50 at least for a solid shell. I recommend NZXT cases either way.

3 out of 5 eggsSerious Waste of Money

Pros: - Lots of Screws & Stand offs
- Front USB Ports are nice
- It looks nice

Cons: - Not much space
- Mounting 3.5 drives royal pain in the ...
- Removal of face plats for 5.25 slots requires removal of the entire front panel instead of break out like I am use to on the higher end cases
- The case is not steel as advertised but instead made of cheap aluminum
- The 2 3.5 slots are unusable do to the case wires for power lead, power, hdd lead, etc.. Plus the front panel is hidden do to the wire mesh so even if I got rid of the USB panel it wouldn't work.

Other Thoughts: I honestly expected a lot better then this. I know I didn't put to much time or efforts into learning more about it first as I do most times but I am rather upset with this purchases. Not so much with NewEgg been buying from them for years & only had a few things bought that I regretted but this is one of them. The guy that said it has lots of space needs to lay off the crack pipe!

4 out of 5 eggsGood for the price - but bends easily

Pros: Amazing price, has lots of space for everything I need, and cable management is excellent.

Cons: Comes with only one fan. Not a big problem, I'll just buy another.

Bends EASILY - I am gentle with this bad boy and it just seems to like flexing and warping. No serious problems yet.
