RAIDMAX AEOLUS ATX-818WB Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: I recently ordered this case and I have been nothing but pleased with it and Raidmax customer service. When I got the case it was missing the 8 screws for the 2 top exhaust fans. I called raidmax tech support and within 5 minutes was off the phone with the screws on their way. I have been a raidmax customer for years and with time their products have only been getting better and better.

The pros for the case are:
Amazing airflow
Great cable management (better than my first gen Helios)
Usb 3.0 on front panel
adequate room for long gpu
did I mention amazing airflow?

Cons: The top fan screws were missing from the packaging. raidmax did however resolve this quickly so its not worth docking an egg, just a minor inconvenience.

The only other thing is I use a water cooled setup for my processor (my 2x 580's are air-cooled) and it is difficult to find good way to mount the radiator on the intake and not the exhaust. Just a heads up if you are water cooling

Other Thoughts: Lion King is a very emotional movie.

Pros: Great case with plenty of room. Excellent customer service at raidmax too. I emailed them about fan screws because I ordered additional fans for the top and they offered to send me free screws that would fit.

Cons: Thought it came with 5 fans from others reviews but it only included the front fan with open spots for the other 4 fans.

Other Thoughts: Would buy again due to customer service.

Pros: I spent alot of time looking for a new case. This is the case I went with. IT has so much room inside of it! All the areas you can mount fans inside is amazing! It stays nice and cool. You can fit huge graphic cards inside of it as well!

Cons: Non really that I can think of it is one badarse case!

Other Thoughts: This a great mid size case with alot of room inside of it! You wont regret your purchase and it also got to my home very fast! My 1st order from new egg and I do not regret it!

Pros: 15 dollars with combo psu also from raid max
i got this for 15 bucks, its price is 15 dollars bang for buck
60-15 makes the psu 500w 80 plus bronze worth 45

Cons: interior paint rubbed off around motherboard
loud fans not quiet or silent at all

Other Thoughts: good budget case comes with 4 fans of which one is blue led the front, 1 mounting for 120 on side optional fan

Pros: This case shipped in 1 business day with the free shipping.

Looks great and great weight.

USB 3.0 support

Only paid $35 after rebate.

Lots of room inside for long graphic cards.

Cons: The box came beat up.

Came with one fan.

Kinda slim.

Other Thoughts: Great for starter builds

Pros: Excellent space and air flow

Cons: a little loud

Pros: I decided to convert to this case after my Fractal Design Define Mini turned out to be too big to fit into the Fiat 500 trunk during going to a LAN party. An advantage of this case is that this is slightly narrower than my Antec 900 case which means that this can fit into tighter spaces.

Building into this case was super easy. In fact it took me less than 10 minutes to transfer from the Fractal Design case into this Raidmax case. (I put my specs in the notes below for this build). Cable management was very easy and I was able to route most of the cables behind the motherboard without any trouble.

With my micro-ATX board and Crossfire setup, I had zero trouble being able to fit everything in.

Very beautiful design however! I really dig the fact that the front blue fan just makes this case glow. I plan to add a Fractal Design case fan to the back in a few weeks.

I recommend this case as being one of Raidmax's better efforts.

Cons: Unfortunately during the build I accidentally tried to put the wrong side panel (windowed) onto the motherboard back plate side and bent out one of the hooks for the panel so I had to bend it back. Very cheap steel apparently and the plastic coating broke off. Also I broke one of the rivets that held the window to the steel portion of the panel.

Thus this beauty is marred by cheap steel but I wasn't expecting too much at this price point. Thus no eggs off.

Also because this is narrower than most typical mid-tower cases, I think that extremely huge CPU cooler may have difficulty fitting? I wouldn't know since I used a stock Intel fan which is very low profile.

I don't know anything whether water cooling would be easy in this case but I suspect that radiators can be mounted on the top dual fan slots?

Also only 3 hard drive spaces makes this not the ideal choice for servers. However just use a 4 TB hard drive arrays and that should suffice.

Pros: This case is very good quality for its price. The case is very narrow and will fit mostly anywhere. Despite its size there is plenty of room inside unless you have a large power supply and more than two hard drives. The fan locations seem to be very intuitive for air flow. For such a small case the durability and functionality for the price are very impressive.

Cons: the fans that the case came with when i bought it back in early 2012 were very weak so i replaced them with blue led thermaltake thunderblades. however I did not buy the case for the fans so I a still giving this case 5 stars.

Other Thoughts: dont buy power sulpplies that are over 1000w without removable cables.

Pros: Feels very sturdy.
Plenty of space with cable management.
Tool-less design is very nice.
Bottom mounted power supply location with dust filter.
Nice blue LED fan matches the thermaltake ones I bought.

Cons: See other thoughts.

Other Thoughts: This isn't really a con which is why I am placing it in other thoughts. The system speaker that came with the chassis is suspected to not be working as I have tried installing it both ways, neither way would make the speaker provide the beeps for the POST. I have already contacted Raidmax support though and they were really nice and responded promptly. They are sending me out a new system speaker tomorrow, as well as screws for the 2 top mounted 120mm fan locations as the fans I had bought from thermaltake only came with standard screws which aren't long enough. Awesome customer/tech support by far. If I ever need another chassis in the future I will definitely purchase a Raidmax from Newegg.

Pros: Cheap, durable, great looking lots of room, good airflow etc.

Cons: NONE

Other Thoughts: LOVE IT!!! LOVE NEWEGG!!!
