1 out of 5 eggsPoor poor cooling, not very big for "mid-tower"

Pros: It's a very nice looking case.
Easy to put drives in.

Cons: My video card barely fit in the case, its almost touched the drive bays. (Radeon 7870)
Poor wire management, it's a freaking mess.
Poor VERY poor cooling. It is no way effective as advertised on the page, it begs for more case fans.
USB 3.0 cord doesn't plug into the USB 3.0 port on my Crosshair V formula Z motherboard correctly, so I have one USB port in the front.

Other Thoughts: I should have learned when I bought a raidmax case before. I can't play anything without my computer sounding like a jet engine, and overheating. I'm going to have to spend even more to get more fans, and liquid cooling because of this. Avoid raidmax if you like gaming cases, they are the worst. Go with antec or corsair.

3 out of 5 eggsIt makes my brother happy, that's all that counts.

Pros: This case visually looks pretty attractive in person. I wouldn't buy it personally, but for my brother's build he was very pleased. The window is a nice plus, IF you can manage the cables all right. The size is perfect for the space in which me and my brother's room offers.

Cons: There were a lot of grievances with this build, I won't lie. First of all, unfortunately as a lot of other customers have had to experience, I did not receive the 120mm front fan as advertised, which was annoying to say the least. As me and my brother had planned before purchasing the case we actually bought a spare fan, so we weren't at a total loss. At 60$ you'd expect Raidmax to do better.
Second, The cable management is no where close to expected. there's about a quarter inch of space behind the Mobo tray, so only the PCI-e cables and smaller stuff could fit back there. The cutout for the 8 pin supplemental CPU power was also poorly located and was not used.
Third, cooling is sparse, even if we had the 120mm front fan. I'd expect there to be a top fan slot, at least one or two, but there is just a flat, painted top which ultimately is unused space.
Lastly, I've been having trouble with the front panel. Either one USB port doesn't work or the other, and they are all installed to the right slots, it's a puzzler.

Other Thoughts: Overall this build was indeed frustrating. At the price point this case lacks a bit. Do not buy this case if you want performance over aesthetics, because this case has the looks but lacks the necessities cases like the HAF 912 (which costs the same) got right.

4 out of 5 eggsIt's 'OK'

Pros: Styling.
Build quality reflects the price, but I'd say this is a Pro because I've seen cheaper quality cases for the same price if not more.
Comes with stand-off's mounted as well as extras; hardware included and painted to match the inside of the case.
PSU mounted on bottom a huge plus!

Cons: Cable management behind mobo is non-existent; nice try.
'3-day' select shipping actually took +a week; this isn't Newegg's fault though. Because the case is shipped from Raidmax, I didn't receive the case as quick as I normally receive other orders.
Biggest con is; MY CASE DID NOT INCLUDE THE FRONT 120MM LED FAN. At $15 bucks less I would understand but at this price, I expect to have what I paid for.

Other Thoughts: This is my first and last piece of equipment from Raidmax. I was hoping to buy more of their products but I've already been disappointed once.

5 out of 5 eggsIt's Sweet

Pros: Holds it all, even my large GPU. Quick and easy to dis-assemble. Front LED glows blue.

Cons: Half of the HDD bays cannot be used with SATA drives and large GPU cards. They will collide.

5 out of 5 eggsReally Nice Case

Pros: Looks awesome. Just big enough to fit my GTX 660TI. Fits my 92mm CPU cooler nicely with room to spare. Pretty good cooling with the front and rear fans. Feels relatively sturdy. Well priced. This is my first Raidmax case and I am impressed. Definitely would recommend.

Cons: Plastic mounts for hard drives don't line up on certain drives, but standard screws work fine.
Power/Reset buttons can stick if not pushed in the center.

Other Thoughts: My build in this tower:
i5 3570k with Zalman 92mm cooler
GTX 660TI
16GB (2x8) DDR3 @ 1866MHz
64GB SSD + 1TB HDD
630W PSU

4 out of 5 eggsBad Audio Jack

Pros: I love the way it looks. It's very retro-80s futuristic, reminiscent of Star Wars, Converse All-Star sneakers, and Transformers. The front fan's blue glow is pretty subtle and cool looking through the grill (not too bright at all).

Cons: The front audio jack is faulty. It causes speech to sound faded and distant, whether I'm playing a game or streaming radio. Some of the effects don't play and usually only the music is audible.
The rear port works fine, and I'll just get a pair of speakers with their own headphone jack as a workaround. There's no way I'm going to disassemble my entire build, pay $20+ to ship the case, and RMA it all for something this minor.
That's the reason I'm only docking 1 egg; it's annoying that my brand new case wasn't properly QC'd but the problem isn't worth the aggravation of a return.

Other Thoughts: Like everyone else said, cable management isn't great. You'll be able to organize your thinner cables, but the big ones just won't fit. Not a big deal. I knew this and bought it anyway.

4 out of 5 eggsGreat case!

Pros: love the case. plenty of interior room for a large graphics card.

Cons: a bit tight on cable management. because of lack of cable management = poor ventilation. not terrible ventilation but could be better with a better case.
