4 out of 5 eggsVery Good and Cheap

Pros: This is a very good case, for very cheap. It works well; it's small, but not too small that I can't move my hands around inside(and I have big hands). For a first case, it's very good. Please note you won't be overclocking in here! There definitely aren't enough fan holes! This is good for a cheap gaming or work machine.

Cons: It's not an expensive case. I don't know what you would be expecting, but it is a very good case for the price.

Other Thoughts: I like it. Get it for a first project, maybe for your kid. Upgrade the case later, when you have the money for it.

4 out of 5 eggsCheap and good for the price

Pros: If you don't have a lot of material to put in your PC, this is a good game. But don't plan to build a beast PC with this kind of case, ventilation is limited. You got what you pay for.

Cons: None.

4 out of 5 eggsGood Budget Case

Pros: Very sturdy for the cost. Holds 5 sata HDs and a CDrom.
I had my GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-US2H AM2+ board in there and now replaced it with a ASRock Z77 Etreme4 1155 board, no sweat.
Good cabling for connectors and overall, a great value. Got on sale for $30 bucks.

Cons: Nothing special. No Bright LED lights if you like that sort of thing, (I dont). Case fans do rattle after a while, but if you reseat them and screw in the side panel securely, you shouldnt have too many problems with that.

Other Thoughts: Intel Core-i5 3570k 3.4 Ghz
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 1155
G.Skill 2x4GB DDR3 1600

5 out of 5 eggsGreat value!

Pros: This is a solid case, well made, and easy to work with.

Cons: There are sharp edges, and it is not a tool-less case.

Better for a simple build as there isn't much in the way of enhanced airflow for a system with heavier cooling needs.

Other Thoughts: This represents a rather extreme value for the money. You can spend more and do much worse.

A Cooler Master V8 will fit in this case...just barely fit. Very tight but doable.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Price point.
Overall quality
Easy to work with.
I paid $20 shipped. At that price no complaining about anything.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I have read some of the reviews giving this case low marks.
It makes no sense to pay what this case costs and expect an Antec.
A case only has to hold your parts together, and anything above that is gravy.
This is a high bang/buck case.

4 out of 5 eggsA good choice in other instances.

Pros: Looks great. Comes with lots of extra screws for mounting the motherboard and screwing in drives and things. All of the case interface cords have a little plastic thing on the inside to keep them all bound together easily, which was a great addition.

Cons: Not a lot of room for my motherboard. The labeling on the motherboard mounting holes weren't clear, and there weren't enough mounting screws for every hole in my motherboard. There was a few holes that I assume were for routing power cords that I lost screws in while I was mounting the motherboard. One of the plastic tabs that keeps the front panel on snapped off at one point.

Other Thoughts: The only concern I have about this case is airflow. The front 80mm fan mount appears to be totally closed in and fairly useless. There's a 90mm fan mount on the back that isn't blocked by anything. The only areas for air circulation are where the 90mm fan is and some perforation on the side.

5 out of 5 eggsPerfect for home media server

Pros: Just needed a cheap case to throw some parts in at first. Slowly system grew into a home media server with 6x 3.5" drives along with 2x 2.5" drives and a dvd-rw drive. Supports all those with no issues.

Cons: non for this price

Other Thoughts: Perfect if you just need a basic box to throw some parts in. Why spend more than you need to especially if its for a headless system in the closet.

4 out of 5 eggsGreat Value

Pros: Inexpensive, standard ATX case with cool blue lights, good placement of USB/audio panel

Cons: Front fan takes up some 3.5" bays, power button was easy at first to accidentally press instead of dvd-drive button

Other Thoughts: This case is fine, nothing fancy, great value.
