RAIDMAX Reiter ATX-305WB Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Looks great, very sturdy, front audio, both sides open, cable management, nice little fan comes with it

Cons: plastic drive bay slots seem a little flimsy, thumbscrews hurt my fingers, PSU is top mounted rather than bottom

Other Thoughts: If you're building a budget rig, this case is for you

Pros: Cheap case, seems to be decently put together. Everything was functioning properly for the most part. Easy to maneuver around in.

Cons: Only came with 3 lifter screws, luckily my other case sent an excess so I just used those instead. Annoying but no big deal. Case in the back was a little dented in by the slide out panel but it still slides in and out without an issue so not enough of a problem to RMA it. When I popped off the front panel to put the DVD drive in, the wiring for the power button fell out and the LED light did as well but I put it back in and it seems to still be working without issue.

Other Thoughts: Hard drive rack seems a little shaky, metal seems a little too malleable. I am a little worried the case will not support the printer on top of it when it moves to server duty. The PSU is at the bottom and I am not thrilled with out it is set up to vent down which goes right into the floor since it doesn't have much space off the ground but soon it will be sideways so I am not super concerned.

Pros: Great Case well laid out, roomy and drive management is great. I was a little concerned about cables to hard drives after reading some of the reviews here but there was plenty of room for the regular sata power and interface cables. I highly recommend this case for any build.

Cons: Fans included do not have the plugs required to add them as system fans. This really the only Con I could find and it isn't major at all, Fans running off the power supply keep the system very cool.

Other Thoughts: I highly reccomend this for anyone looking for an affordable case with some great bells and whistles.

Pros: Good price after rebate if you can get it. Support ATX MB. support cable management on back(but no enough room)

Cons: newegg description said it came with 1 front USB 3 port when I purchased it. It arrived with 2 front USB 2 ports and newegg updated description too. The HDD plastic mounting bracket is not stable. Mounting hole is hard to match ASUS MB I used. Also no enough matching screws to mount the MB.

Other Thoughts: rebate is big hassle. Have submitted 3 RAIDMAX rebates since last Nov. all show approved online but never got checks. Sent many query emails to raidmax but heard nothing back.

Pros: I bought this because it was inexpensive, has 2-120mm fans and requires no tools. I am also prefer the PS on the bottom. I am impressed with this case. The fans are the quietest fans I have not heard in a while. Air flow is quite nice. I used a Micro ATX MB so I have plenty of room; would have plenty of room if I had used any size board. I love the hard drive racks that are user friendly and lightweight. The case looks nice and that is a plus. The front grills all have filter material. There are a bunch of little things that show that Raidmax was paying attention to details.

Cons: This is not really a con but a note: Things fit tight because there is no hardware to hold drives in place. You do not have to be a gorrilla to put this together. However, if you assemble your computer by throwing parts at it from accross the room, you will break it. I always advise reading the instructions too.

Other Thoughts: I am going to buy another just because I like it.

Pros: Nice case small no problem "BUT"

Cons: Poor H.D.D. Assembley You halfto remove the back cover to install hard drives and connect them. plastic mounting bracket will not lock in with longer drives. my drive is W.D. 1TB. Next problem does not have HD Audio plug just AC'97 plug. for front audio.

Other Thoughts: Ok for Mother boards ATX/ATX mini without F.D.D. and with AC'97 Audio. and using shorter drives. I would have given it 5 stars if it was't for thoes two things.

Pros: Looks nice, better quality.

Cons: We custom build a lot of pc's since we are an IT solution provider and have experience with many cases. This WOULD have been a great case except for the PSU cables were so short that the P4 connector would not even reach the connection point on the motherboard. EVERY P4 connection is in the same place on motherboards (for the most part) so why they would build a case with a PSU that wouldn't even reach half way across the board is beyond me. We had to order extension cables for another $6 to make it work. Plus it doesn't have any floppy drive bays for standard card readers. Won't be buying this one again.

Pros: Nice design...good looking case...Good air flow....that's is why I gave it 2 stars.

Cons: Front USB ports and sound port gave error messages when plugged into motherboard (bad circuit board). Power supply cables not long enough to reach my Gigabyte board (GA-880GM-USBL).

Other Thoughts: Buy different power supply and hope the USB front ports are good.

Pros: power supply location, easy cable management, easy drive storage management- lots of room and good craftsmanship.

Cons: wish it came in orange or red also
for those on xp still no 3.5 inch slot for your floppy (but seriously why have you not shifted to 7?)

Other Thoughts: did not miss the lack of an external 3.5 " slot - have bought and used cases from most of the bigger names and spent up to 100 for them- yet this was the easiest build I have had

Pros: This case is great, it has nice cable management, full black, bottom mount PSU, it looks great very good airflow, everything fits great. This case is amazing for the money. I bought two of them, and I have had other good cases, by coolermaster, antec, compcase. This honestly should be in the 80+ $ range.

Cons: They made me put something in here.

Other Thoughts: When you pick up the box, its going to feel light, and your going to think oh no I made a mistake, and bought a cheap piece of junk, but its not its aluminum, and plastic. This is a very nice quality case.
