NZXT Source 210 S210-001 Black “Aluminum Brush / Plastic” ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: I've worked at a small computer shop for the last 20 years , doing purchasing, repairs and assembling computers. I'd estimate that I've built over 2000 computers. This is simply the best value in an inexpensive case I've ever seen. It will take up to 8 hard drives, has good cable management, room for lots of fans and a bottom mounted power supply. Oh yeah, it doesn't look like a cheap case. No it doesn't look fancy, but put the money you save over buying the $100+ case and buy a better video card or power supply. Is it the best case I've ever seen? No. Is the best case I've ever in its price range? YES!!!

Cons: Your overweight uncle can't use it for a chair.

Other Thoughts: A great value, especially for a budget gamer.

Pros: Big interior, decent build quality, 8 HD slots, multiple vent and fan locations

Cons: No dust filters, lots of rivets instead of screws, plasticky front panel, upside down usb on front panel

Other Thoughts: Bought this case for a budget Minecraft server build. It was very inexpensive and I liked the minimal look. I was very pleasantly surprised by the interior layout and amount of space for this size case. only 1 side panel is removable unless you drill out the rivets(no big deal for me) and the front panel can feel a little cheap. But for the price this case is a outstanding value.

Pros: - 8 hard drive slots
- price

Cons: - power supply goes on bottom. Make sure your cables are long enough; mine were not

Pros: Has plenty of room. Even enough for my kinda big evga gtx 660 sc.

Cons: There could be more room for cable management in the back of the case, but i was able to put almost all cables back there.

Other Thoughts: Great budget case.

Pros: Great size, had no problems fitting all of my components into the case during my build. Sturdy, but not heavy. Has great fan placement

Cons: Headphone jack on the front of the case makes a buzzing sound when I plug in my speakers or headphones.. however, the back headphone jack works perfectly fine so it isn't a big issue for me especially for the price

Other Thoughts: If your build is on a budget, go with this case. But if you have the cash opt for a higher quality case

Pros: -cheap
-nice finish on case
-led on power button doesnt look stupid
-comes with a fan and supports many sizes of motherboards

Cons: -installing the motherboard was a pain in the a s s
-cable management is nice but is also a pain in the a s s

Other Thoughts: awesome case for the price but I am going to custom do a side window

Pros: Anyone who doesn't appreciate the finish of this case is spoiled, hands down. Its not gaudy its not distracting it makes me smile. The front is gorgeous and no its not defective its a thought of flair.
Best cable management for the price level.
Worth the bump up looking for a "cheap" case
Didn't "need" usb 3.0 since i was just dropping an old Q8200s and G41 mobo
The included fan is decent love the 14cm fan support and will be water-cooling in the near future.
Fool proof standoff instructions provided the fool is trying to put the pc in the case and make it work properly >.>

Cons: No dust filters :( but you make your own with your choice of density :)
Not a tank but sturdy
Would've thought simple rubber nubs would be cheaper to manufacture than the plastic feet.

Other Thoughts: Why are you still reading? BUY IT OR WISH FOR IT
The included hardware even has a quality paint job
lol
Will follow up a second review a year from now when i get this case again to mod :P

Pros: Nice and simple, not any kind of glowing added which makes it better. Really cheap and spacious

Cons: I had trouble putting in a Wireless LAN Card i had to bend some parts of the inner hangers so it would fit(this is just a minor though most people would probably have a ethernet cable)

Pros: Nice, simple, and clean design. Extreme value considering the cost. Decent cable management that is hard to find in this price range.

Cons: As you may have heard, the power button isn't the best. I've heard complaints that it's easy to accidentally hit, but I find it hard to even find when not looking at the case, and usually end up tapping the sleep/reset button before hitting the power button to turn it on. Having it raised or textured would help.

Other Thoughts: If you're considering this or a case within ~$20 you likely won't be disappointed you picked this one instead. And if you're looking at anything cheaper, shell out the extra cash and pick this one up. It's worth it.

Pros: Great cable management, Cheap but sturdy, Good airflow, simple sleek design.

Cons: There are no quick lock bays for HDD. But for the price that's to be expected. The included fan has molex connectors on it that are annoying. not a big deal just cut them off.
