APEX SK-393-C Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Cheap, good, solid looking.

Cons: The doors are a little flimsy but who removes there door on a cheap budget build anyways?

Other Thoughts: I've used this in a few builds, and it's been working not only for me. But for them as well, even my family has been using them everyday!

Pros: No Pro's except its a cheap Budget Case. Don't buy if your looking for something quality. It'll def. last awhile as long as you don't have to move it or take it apart a lot. It's a great case for the price. I'd surely buy this again for a budget build.

Cons: No Cons, its a budget case. You get what you pay for.

Pros: Solidly built
Convenient front USB (4x2.0) and audio ports
Decently sized drive cage
Great value

Cons: Top mounted PSU (this may be personal and subjective)
Drive cage doesn't appear to be removeable at all
Cramped interior
No cable routing
No 2.5" bays in drive cage
No fans included

Other Thoughts: This is a very good value case, but it has no bells or whistles whatsoever.
If a few things were fixed and the price kept low, it would be a fantastic case. (Cable routing, PSU placement, fan inclusion, more fan mounts, and removeable drive cages)
A $50 version with those features I could recommend to just about anyone who needed a better basic case.

As it stands, this is a good case for more basic builds, and a great value.

Aaaaand it's got a floppy bay. It'd be nice to see a USB port bank designed to fit in a floppy bay.

Pros: This is a pretty good case for the price.

Cons: It is too narrow for a large CPU cooler. I had to cut two holes in the side of the case to allow the cooler pipes to stick out. The cooler I used was a COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1. It would would have only needed to be about 1/8" wider.

Pros: This was my very first custom built PC case, and at the time I loved it. This case supplies you with enough room for HDD's and 5.25" drive of any sort. It doesn't come with adapters for SSD's, but that is what you get with a cheaper case. There is only room for three extra fans, but that's ok. HD audio on front, along with 4 USB 2.0, which is pretty secure on mine.

Cons: PSU on top, which is only held in by the screws and the little flap of steel sticking out, which will bend over time. Some edges are sharp and will cut you. If you want an aftermarket cooler, you have to put it on before you screw the mobo down. Almost no room for cable management.

Other Thoughts: This is a very reliable case, and will serve you well. If your looking at this, then you should get it, because this is a well built, stable case that will serve you a long time, until you have enough for an upgrade.

Pros: Low cost, very basic design, easy to work in, sturdy, light weight steel construction. A solid case for when the overall cost of the build is an issue and you want it to look decent when you finish. It is everything it claims to be and is well built. No eggs off for being a budget case because it pulls off being a budget case very nicely.

Cons: None if you pay attention to the description of what you are buying. Its a budget case folks.

Other Thoughts: Will disappoint people who think they will get thick steel, silky smooth edges everywhere and lots of non-essential features in a very basic case for under $30. Those people should be disappointed in themselves for being unrealistic!

Not for the high end gaming systems, but works very nicely for an everyday use/moderate gaming i5 system, with mid level video card. Added a strong, quiet 92mm fan on the back and everything stays nice and cool.

Pros: Cheap case if you want something short-term and can't justify the cost of others
Not a bad looking case

Cons: Don't count on using it much past the life of your current hardware set - very flimsy
No extra goodies - just a bare-bones bag of screws (but, you had to know that given the cost anyway, right?)
The front USB panel is kind of sloppy on mine - it jiggles when you plug something in
The power LED is burnt out and the plastic housing over its leads was wrong (one side of it was even just the bare crimp - no insulation)
Other cases in the same $20-$30 price range may have better quality

Other Thoughts: Would I buy it again? For $15, maybe. At $25+ ... try your luck elsewhere first.

This PC will probably only exist for another 5 years. It is built for work from a bunch of outdated gaming hardware - no longer modern enough to run new games, it should be ok for CAD and office tasks. In 5 years when its life is completely sucked dry, the case and everything will just get pitched. In the mean time, its a fairly nice looking case that should fit well in an office environment. A junker case like this is perfect for the occasion.

If you expect to continually use the case as you replace hardware... Look for something a couple grades up. Justify the extra cost by the fact that you'll have a quality case you can keep re-using. This one will probably need thrown out as it gets broken or pieces get lost. This bare-bones case also lacks many of the "cool" widgets that make upgrading hardware easy. More modernized cases will have tool-less clips for mounting hard drives and things of that nature - very nice if you tinker with hardware a lot.

It did have some minor shipping damage owing to the foil-thin sheet metal. The front usb panel wiggles when you plug stuff in. Also the power LED was junk. These problems are probably fairly common at this price range though. These are also reasons why I do not recommend this case for a long-term application.

Pros: cheap for low budget builds

Cons: not great size cable management is Terrible

Pros: Fit the budget, plenty of room, looks plain.

Cons: Noisy, sharp edges.

Other Thoughts: If this case wasn't so noisy I would give it 5/5.

Pros: It's an in expensive case, and I've had no problems except one.

Cons: power supply is on top of case
I believe it causes a problem.

Also, mine didn't include case screws.

Other Thoughts: I have to keep the case on it's side otherwise the graphics card won't perform. I'm not sure if it's the card, the motherboard, or the fact that the power supply mount is on the top of the case, which is a little strange in itself.
Everything worked perfectly for the first 6 months or so, but after that, I was having real issues with super low fps in games...like 2-20 fps no matter the settings/resolution. I tried everything except a different motherboard and a different power supply.
At the moment everything is working perfectly, just have to keep the case on it's side. I'm happy though. :)
