Cons: External drives need screw holes on the bottom or they can't be secured into the case.
Case is cramped. Power cables are hard to route around to allow better air flow. 5.25" drive tray extends out over the IDE and motherboard power cable headers for the foxconn 780G motherboard I chose.
Other Thoughts: Avoid using IDE if possible.

Solid case for a rig that will meet gaming requirements
Reviewed By: on 2/25/2009
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This case has everything you need to build a gaming system. The slim form factor is exactly enough for the components you need, it comes with a PSU that will fit in the case, and the price is hard to beat. Low-profile cards are easy to find, just make sure they come with the appropriate low-profile bracket (about half as long and usually shows up in product images). My build: GIGABYTE GA-M61PME-S2 motherboard AMD Athlon 64 X2 5050e Brisbane 2.6GHz Socket AM2 45W Dual-Core Processor 4G Kingston DDR2 800 RAM Western Digital Caviar GP 750GB SATA hard drive Sony SATA DVD-ROM and a Jaton low-profile GeForce 8400 GS 512MB video card It'll run Half-Life 2, it'll run Civ IV, it'll run Google Earth. I don't own Crysis yet so I can't promise that it runs (but I'm buying it now that I have this computer!) but it meets all the recommended requirements I've found for any game out today. I built this rig for a grand total of around $360. Bring your own keyboard&mouse and monitor&speakers.
Cons: 5.25" spring-loaded drive cover. I don't like them. This one works fine, I just don't like having a cover. Also, make sure to buy a 4-pin Molex to SATA power adapter if you plan on using two SATA drives, as the power supply only has one SATA power plug. It's another 5 bucks - won't affect your budget. If you're using an IDE drive, yes, the cable will make the case a little cramped, but you can successfully install everything and close the case, and that's really all that matters. If you want lots of space, don't get a slim form-factor case. Cramming everything in there is part of the game.
Other Thoughts: I'd like to be able to buy a spare case cover somewhere so I could make a window, because I'm really satisfied with how economic this rig is on space. If it's not big enough, don't get a slim case, get a tower. If you can fit everything into a case like this, it's worth it. In response to an earlier review - you actually can use two hard drives and an optical drive, or whatever configuration of two 3.5" drives and one 5.25" drive. In addition to the two bays, you can mount a 3.5" drive on the underside of the drive cage. This isn't a mod or anything, it says so in the instructions. However, like I said above, if using multiple SATA drives, make sure to get power adapters. They're cheap, don't worry.

Pros: Case appears sturdy. It doesn't take up a lot of space, and looks nice. This was an easy build with only very minor issues. Everything fits, and the removable drive cage makes everything easy. I would buy this case again.
I was nervous about the reviews of poor workmanship, broken parts etc. I saw none of these issues.
Cons: Documentation is a bit sketchy, but, sufficient for me to complete my first build without issues.
Other Thoughts: I've been in IT for a while, but, this was my first PC build. I chose this case based on reviews, size and price. The reviews gave me worry, but the case came in perfect shape. The power supply fired right up without issues. The build was easy.

Nice case for HTPC
Reviewed By: on 1/17/2010
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: 1) Small, but not too small. 2) Good price. 3) Sturdy.
Cons: 1) Poor instructions- not bad if you've done a build before, though. 2) Drive tray can be hard to put in place. 3) On some motherboards, drive tray provides little clearance above motherboard power cable socket.
Other Thoughts: Bought this case for a HTPC build. So far so good, and even though others have replaced the fan, I haven't yet. It might not be necessary unless you want it to be very silent. The case is a good size without being too small to work in or too large to waste space. Plus, the price isn't too bad.

Great value for the price

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Ordered as a comb deal with Q8200 together for $168. Enough room for 2 3.5" SATA drives. Slim. Air flow in the case is to my surprise good enough for cooling.
Cons: Top fan has no speed control, running at full speed is very loud(replaced with an antec 80mm tri-cool). Limitted manual info, not a problem for me though. Power supply looks cheap hope it will last long. Have to push optical drive release button all the way in to enject the drive. Inner power button reception is very fragile. I knocked it out the first time when I tried to install the optical drive. I have to glue it later. Paint seems to be easily scratched.
Other Thoughts: Very similar layout as Antec Slimline Micro Pc Case 350PS(which is around $100). Basically you get what you paid for. Some design glitch but nothing serious.
