4 out of 5 eggsGreat for the money!

Pros: -Room for cable management.
-Hold 6 120mm fans. Also means great airflow.
-Actually looks more clean than I expected.
-Fits extra long video cards as long as you keep your HDD's out of the way.
-Large enough cut out on the back side to install any style of cpu heat sink, as long as it's not much taller than a Hyper 212 Evo.

Cons: -I had to take a screw driver to widen the slots where the graphics card slide into since they weren't properly punched out enough, which caused the card to be raised about a quarter of an inch and would not fully seat into the motherboard.
The reason I deducted an egg^^
-Only came with 4 extra fan screws with one fan already mounted.. So I had to dig out 16more to install all 6fans.. Not really a con but it is kind of inconvenient.

Other Thoughts: I've never run into this even on cheaper cases, and it doesn't affect the looks unless you're looking inside the back panel, I also had to widen out the slot for the sound card.

Everything else installed smoothly and without issue.

5 out of 5 eggsVery nice, cheap, unassuming case

Pros: -Very nice and simple appearance, almost monolithic. The material (steel I think) has a nice matte finish and is very sleek.
-Lots of open space and wire routing holes.
-No bright lights at all. Great for a bedroom.
-Fans are almost completely silent.
-Panels are easy to access.
-Plenty of room for components.
-Many perforated openings for more fans, has great airflow.

Cons: -The power button on the front is a bit hard to find unless you know where it is. It's small and black and completely flush with the front of the case.
-The internal bays are toolless but it did not come with as many toolless keys as I had expected.

Other Thoughts: This is a really nice and cheap case, it's definitely worth a buy if you don't want a room illuminated at night by obnoxious LEDs. It is also very simplistic, a smooth black face with a bevel around the edge for airflow. I don't want a jagged, bright orange Transformer body in my room, and this case is perfect for me.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Was looking for a case to throw 10 disks in for a big raid array. This case has 8 internal 3.5" bays and 3 5.25" bays so it could hold all 10 disks. Case seems well built and assembly is easy (sides slide on well, plenty of space internally, holes for cables). Came with plenty of screws for all those disks. Overall a great value.

Cons: Hard drive screws aren't thumb screws. Only comes with one fan.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Value

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.

4 out of 5 eggsgreat value

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.

4 out of 5 eggsBig Enough

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.

4 out of 5 eggsgreat 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

Manufacturer Response:

Hello!

I just wanted to thank you for being a customer of NZXT.

I also wanted to apologize about the issue with the headphone jack. We appreciate your feedback. Feel free to contact us at http://www.nzxt.com/support/ and open a ticket I'd like to work something out where we can resolve this malfunctioning headphone jack, we are looking forward from hearing from you.

Best Regards,
NZXT Support

5 out of 5 eggsGet it or the Bitfenix

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
