RAIDMAX Blade ATX-298WR Black/Red Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Got it on sale for $27 or so on here (with mail in rebate), just received it in the mail today. Great looking, Very spacious, spots for two extra case fans. Put in my old uATX until I buy a full ATX. BTW the screwless HDD and CD fasteners are actually pretty solid, I was skeptic.

Cons: PSU filter is a little cheap, but for this price who cares!

Pros: strong easy to work on cheap and sweet!! its bad cool!!

Cons: you have to be careful that it doesn't get scratched.

Pros: This case was perfect for my budget build. It has lots of room for my ASUS M5A78L-M uATX MOBO room for 2 xtra fans (1 of which will blow directly on my graphics card when I get it) vented expansion slots for more airflow, tool free fittings for HD and DVD/R and it looks cool to boot

Cons: None for me

Other Thoughts: I got this on sale for my budget build for my moderate gaming habit (no graphics card yet, but on board graphics is still a 5.3 rating)
Raidmax Blade ATX mid tower
LEPA 500 watt PSU
ASUS M5A78L-M uATX mobo
AMD Athlon II X4 640 propus CPU
8GB (2x4GB) Team Dark DDR3 1600 RAM
refurbed seagate 160GB SATA 3Gb/s HD
Samsung DVD burner

MOBO is a smaller uATX board so this has lots of room for me

Pros: very nice case, has good room for just about all your needs

Cons: if the price with the rebate got you to buy this case, good luck on waiting for the check in the mail. I bought this back in august and still nothing. what a ripoff, a lot of companies do this to you to get you to buy and then like they say GOT YA , SORRY ABOUT YOUR LUCK . the NO rebate is why only 2 STARS RAIDMAX

Other Thoughts: if you don't care about the rebate then it a very good case, but don't get sucker into the low price with the rebate

Pros: Great case, inside is black unlike most cases. Screw free drive bays if you so choose, I still like screws myself. PS mounts on the bottom so better cable control. Overall a great case for a great price.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: As mentioned the PS mounts on the bottom of the case. I have thick pile carpet so I am concerned about the PS not getting adequate airflow. I plan to make a small air duct of sorts with a cut out to keep the carpet pushed down on the bottom.

Pros: It has USB 3.0 to the front. Very cool looking with lots of room to work inside. Lots of places for fans.

Cons: The stand offs were a little out of alignment but not a big deal.

Other Thoughts: I used this on a build for my 14 year old son.You can't go wrong for the money. It looks like a Transformer about to fly out of the room!Pretty cool.

Pros: Good monitor for the price. Packaged well. For the cost it's amazing. Great picture, sharp colors, great size. Don't know why many people give it low reviews.

Cons: Only con is there isent an HDMI beyond that none

Other Thoughts: Will buy another one soon

Pros: decent fit and finish. Teenage boy likes the looks. Comes with decent amount of hardware.

Cons: Rear fan DOA. Very little space behind side panel for cable management. Length of case could be issue for long video cards.

Other Thoughts: For the price I'm satisfied. I added a red light fan to the front for some added bling. Power LED is green, HD activity LED is red. I could nit pick some stuff but between the promo code and the rebate no complaints at this price other than the dead fan.

Pros: no problem with case,install asrock extreme9 990fx with no problem, also have a corsair n520 and fits with room to spare. you have to go online for wiring hookup diagram because you don't get any

Cons: if you like the case buy it, if you expext the rebate forget it. don't waste your time. you can do all the right things they ask of you and you will NOT get a REBATE in the mail. if you don't believe me try it for yourself and see. I gave 3 stars because of rebate , should be a 1 but I like the case.

Pros: Nice looking case for the price
USB 3.0 on front panel
Screws, extra standoffs, zip ties, and motherboard speaker included
Thumb screws make life easier

Cons: The included drive fasteners don't hold a drive snugly
Very little room for cable management
Once you remove the expansion slot covers, they're gone for good

Other Thoughts: Overall, this case is a good buy. The pros definitely outweigh the cons. It feels pretty solid for the price, and it fits everything I'm putting in there.

As far as the 3½ inch and 5¼ inch fasteners are concerned, don't use them. I'd assume that if you're buying a computer case, you are building a system yourself. And if you're building a system yourself, I assume you have a Phillips head screwdriver handy. The included fasteners don't really do a good job of holding your drive still in its bay unless you use a second fastener on the other side. All in all, I'd sooner trust the old fashioned screws to hold my fragile hard drives in place before I trusted these fasteners. So I had to dock an egg for that

All in all, this is a great starter case. It looks good and it does its job. If you're not looking to spend more than $60 on your case, this is a great start.
