4 out of 5 eggsGreat Case

Pros: Nice and light. Plenty of room for multiple Hard drives, plenty of airflow, and I love the LED's

Cons: The "Case Managment" part isn't really that manageable

Other Thoughts: Still an overall great case

4 out of 5 eggsAwesome Case

Pros: Alot of room. Backlighiting is very cool. The amount of fans keeps everything really cool inside.

Cons: It doesn't really tell you how to hook up the temperature leads but I was able to figure out where to place the HDD and the SYS but the CPU doesn't specify. I thought about placing it between the CPU and heatsink, however after researching I found that it was not recommended. So for the CPU temperature it constantly shows error so that's why I removed one egg.

Other Thoughts: Great case for the price. Absolutely recommend it.

4 out of 5 eggsPretty Good

Pros: cool look, fairly spacious, mostly metal.

Cons: really cheap molex case fan connectors. Somehow all the other case components that use molex for power (display light, etc.) are fine, but the case fans' molex adapters are junk, they pulled out of the plastic casing after 4-5 changes. And i wasn't being violent with it. I know molex is like that, but this is crazy. I either have to superglue them back in or buy a couple new ones (had to solder one back together already).

4 out of 5 eggsGood Case

Pros: -Sleek look
-Great buy for the price
-Red LEDs look great along with my red neon light shining from the bottom
-Nice big side window
-Side facing HDD bays make everything easier

Cons: -Cable management
-CPU temp gauge is bogus and doesn't work (not that big of a deal. I have Speccy)
-Can't fit an H-100 (I wanted an H-70 or 80 anyway)

Other Thoughts: I was on a budget and it's a cool looking case for the price. Overall I am very happy with my purchase.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Case

Pros: Very Spacious case and a great cost. I bought this when it was on sale and saved a good 25 bucks. Normally I would buy this on a mazon as they usually manage to make it cheaper except when newegg has their deals going.

This was a much needed upgrade for me as my Video Card was way to big for my current case.

Cons: None Yet

Other Thoughts: This version of the case which has red leds instead of blue I found to be cheaper on newegg and other sites for awhile. I think it was an accident and is fixed now though on most sites.

4 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Sleek design, Great colors, Aesthetically pleasing, Steel material

Cons: The expansion slots in the back are made of plastic (which break pretty easy since I didn't know how to take them off), Not enough space for cable management, Both steel and plastic materials used for inside of case would prefer entirely steel

Other Thoughts: Overall, I like the case. It's suitable for a compact setup. Looks great when powered up!

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Case!

Pros: This is a very sleek case, the LED's aren't a bright red but are instead a nice deep red with a presence. The glossy front is real nice with the matte black case and the side window has a great design with a very solid and quiet 120mm fan. This case keeps everything COOL. im running only fans (not even a push pull configuration) all my fans are jamming air in and the case only is ever 27c-32c. Very nice. Plus EVERYTHING is tool-less. which is amazing. PCI's and other cards just click in. Same with HDD's and DVD/Blu-Ray drives. One thing i've really come to appreciate is the HDD bay's. They actually face twords the side panal. NOT the rear. This gives easy access to Hard Drives. just click them In and no worrying about sliding them over the motherboard. Plus there is an intake fan RIGHT in front of the HDD's and it has a filter as well so no dusty HDD's. All the filters it has keeps it dust free which is great.

Cons: None!

Other Thoughts: I'm not going to lie to you i was to lazy to hook up the temp probes for the LCD temp display on the front. Oh well. Also this take can take a beating. i used to have it right by my knee. So it took quite a few hits and dint scuff or anything so im a happy camper.

5 out of 5 eggsAwesome Case

Pros: Awesome Look
Silent Fans
Lots of Room
Packaged really tight and well inside the box
Fans come with Molex and 3 pin connectors in-case mobo doesnt have 3 pin or enough pins (example: my Asus P8Z77-V-LK has only 3 connectors, i have 4 fans)
Nice airflow

Cons: Side panel with window is a little "flexible"
the window is a little tinted, but it might be better when everything is installed and fully illuminated.
Doesn't fit a lot of the aftermarket CPU Heatsink/Fan heights, (144.4 MM Clearance if i remember correctly)

Other Thoughts: Could use removable 2.5" bars (floppy bays) as no one uses floppy disks anymore, for longer Graphics

5 out of 5 eggsAmazing

Pros: I have no regrets in buying this product. It was really cheap, yet very sturdy and high quality. There is plenty of room for everything, the built in sensors update INSTANTLY (blow on one and the readout changes). It sucks they're in Celsius, but you I just looked up acceptable Celsius temperatures for my computer and everything was A-ok. Also it looks really cool, people ask me if it's an alienware all the time. Overall it is very high quality( mostly metal) and I would recommend it to anybody.

Cons: There is nothing wrong with this case. There are no situations where I had to improvise, or otherwise perform this build in an odd way. I had no case related hiccups during the build.

Other Thoughts: Been running linux on the completed computer for 6 months, no cooling problems. Buy this case it's unbeatable.
