Pros: Very nice lightweight case for Basic build. Plenty of airflow with 1 fan added to the front blowing over HDD. Had to add a master cooler to the CPU due to overheating...overall...
Cons: None that I can think of.
Other Thoughts: Has been in use for over a year. No Problems.

Makes a Great Home Server

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: The way they have the motherboard mounts and backplane, it's a lot easier to plug in your SATA cables for the side mounting style motherboards. Full case vendors could take a lesson on how they did it. It's the only MicroATX case I could find that could take 4 HDDs. It's nice it comes with a PSU if you are a cheapo.
Cons: The PSU it comes with is cheap and that's why it comes free. Good luck if you put anything in there besides one drive and a motherboard if you use that. As stated before, it is what it is, a cheap case without anything extra. This is like building a computer back in the 90s. Nostalgia rocks. If you plan on putting an ATI 5870 in there, forget it.
Other Thoughts: Like I said, it is what it is. If you looking to build something to awe your friends and family, there are other cases out there. This was purchased to be a quick, out of the way, somewhat portable server. For what I have built, it works great. Just make sure you get a good CPU cooler due to the lack of air movement. Yes you will have to remove the plastic cone if you have a good sized cooler in there. I recommend a Zalman.
