5 out of 5 eggsLove this case!

Pros: Lots of room, plenty of fan spaces and that it has USB3.0, 2.0 and ESATA on top.

Cons: As with some people it could use a little more space between the side panel and the MB mounting, as with a lot of people the vent holes on the sides are a pain. (see other thoughts)

Other Thoughts: I found the best way to cover the vent holes and add some sound quieting at the same time for $4.00!! If you have a Dollar Tree store near you they have these magnetic air vent covers, white on one side black on the other get 4 and put them black side down. No nasty tape mess just simple stick on!

5 out of 5 eggsBig, open, accomodating, feature-laden, and surprisingly light weight.

Pros: I've never been one to spend more than $75 on a case - call me cheap, but it is one of the items where I am willing to settle for 'good enough'. So much to my surprise, this case was in a combo with a Rosewill RD600 power supply for something like $110. Killer deal!

It would be an understatement to say that this is the best case I have ever owned. Ran some server chassis Codegen stuff last decade, and CoolerMaster Elite stuff more recently. This is WAY better than either. Rolled edges everywhere (no cuts!), good cable management setup, should accommodate 99% of the hardware out on the market. There is plenty of room inside to work and use large cards and boards. 3.5/2.5 drive mounting system seemed a little flimsy at first... after using multiple drives of both sizes to get all my data in order on the new build - they are not. They work very well and in my opinion are superior to most other tool-less designs. Case includes all the accessories you will need, including a VERY handy socket for the motherboard standoffs (thanks Newegg!) It also appears as though all of the fan mounting positions in the case with the exception of the front two will also support 140mm fans, which is a bonus if you need more cooling. I am not using water-cooling in the top fan mount area, so I can't comment on clearance/accessibility, but mounting fans there is no problem. One other Pro that I don't see too often now - this case includes a full compliment of thumb screws for the PCI slots and the case side panels, which I also much prefer to any other tool-less designs. Rear PCI backplates are also the standard kind so they can be removed easily and replaced easily, not that sh*t*y aluminum spacer that you have to wiggle loose and cannot put back later.

Overall I'm very happy with the looks, the quality, the features, and the value of this case. Would recommend to anyone.

Cons: 5.25 front panels are of the mesh variety. I don't prefer these at all. Not going to knock an egg for it though.

Other Thoughts: If you can score this case on sale, you will be getting more than you paid for!

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Case

Pros: Plenty of room for Zalman 9700 cooler, I like the way the harddrive cables go toward the backside of cage, nice cable management slots and that I got it on sale. I added 2 fans 1 140 to replace the rear exhaust and 1 120 at bottom.

Cons: none so far.

Other Thoughts: I really appreciate the fast delivery Newegg!

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Value

Pros: Has everything I expected it to have I can fit my h100i for such a low price and it simply looks awesome on the side panel with red leds the cooling is great, the case is under my desk and I'm not even kidding when I say that I can feel a fresh breeze coming from under my desk everytime I start it up haha!

Cable managements is great

Cons: Maybe it's only me but the optical drive bays were a huge pain in the but in the end I use a screwdriver to get them out *beware*

Other Thoughts: Don't cut your fingers while removing the optical drive cages!!

4 out of 5 eggs

Pros: looks good, plenty of space, decent cable management, plenty of space for fans, I like the placement of the power/reset buttong but thats just preference, fan speed knob on top is nice to have.

Cons: my case doors seem to be a little warped and can be a pain to put back on with getting the slots and screw holes to light up. also I've been having some issues with the top usb ports not sure if it's something i've done or the main board though so please don't jump to conclusions.

Other Thoughts: Pretty good case for the price. I do wish it had a little more room for cable management though.

5 out of 5 eggsgreat case

Pros: This is a great case for the price, no joke. It's got USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, and eSATA, plenty of HDD/SDD space, and the ventilation is great, the air flow cools everything down, and there is plenty of space for my graphics card which is pretty freakin big!

Cons: nothing I can think of!

Other Thoughts: I used this for my new AMD gaming pc build, and it turned out great, I should also mention that there is some rubber grommeted slots in the back for some water cooling when you want to overclock your system!

5 out of 5 eggsGreat case for the price

Pros: The cable management system in this case is excellent! There is plenty of building room, fan room, and the HDD/SDD docking system is great. Rosewill has designed a case that is just as good as the Antec's or the Coolermaster HAF series for a good $50-$100 less on the price tag. This case is also a great fit for the new Corsair H80 and H100 CPU coolers. In fact, they fit better in this case than they do the Corsair cases that are supposed to be designed for them.

Cons: The fan controller is a little bit cheesy, but I like to install my own fan controllers anyway. The stock 120mm fans are a little noisy, but that is not an issue for me because the case allows for me to put in low noise, high quality 140mm aftermarket fans (I prefer Prolimatech for quality vs. price comparisons).

5 out of 5 eggsPretty awesome case

Pros: -The case is easy to open
-LOTS of space
-Comes with three fans and has the capacity for a ton more.
-Not covered in LEDs

Cons: -The fan control knob is a bit flimsy feeling. You can wiggle it if you try.
-The fan control doesn't seem to work but that could be an issue with my mobo.
-Its pretty big. This is my first mid tower case so this may be normal. Not really a con.

Other Thoughts: I bought this for my first pc build and I'm very satisfied with it.
