RAIDMAX Super Hurricane ATX-248NWU Black / Blue Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Big, nice simple look. Spacious.

Cons: Can't use it. Opened the box, front panel retainer pins, all three on the left side were boken off. The metal of the case itself was bent and the front panel itself was cracked upon arrival.

Pros: Looks good
3 (i think) places for fans
Stays cool inside
Front USB panels
Nice side panel window

Cons: Hard to get good cable management(cables going over motherboard, etc.)
HDD was hard to put in

Other Thoughts: If you are getting this case, get a modular powersupply, unless you want cables almost hitting fans

Wouldn't recommend this to someone

Learned to NOT go cheap on the case. If you're about t build a PC or get a new case, save for a case with HDD trays and a place where you can put loose cables

Pros: The case looks great on the outside, holds 3 120mm fans on the inside, I like the bottom mount power supply setup. The paint on it is really nice. It's flat black inside and out. No sharp edges either. Installed 3 120mm led fans in it with a Raidmax RX-530SS power supply. Looked real nice when I was finished.

Cons: I was perturbed when I went to install both a card reader and an SSD drive. The screws that came with the SSD drive and the screws that came with the case were not made for the rubber grommets. Oh sure, if I was installing a standard hard drive, what they provided would have been excellent. Or even if I was not installing the card reader I would have been fine with the SSD in the 3.5" external bay. It would have went right in. There is a bit of cable management for the front ports to be had, but you'll need to unscrew 6 screws to remove the plastic panel first. I found this to be kind of tedious but I had to do it anyway, I replaced the stock 120mm fans with a silenx 120mm led fans and needed to access the front to do it. Cable management could have been better though.

Other Thoughts: I like this case, but then on the other hand, there are so many annoyances about it that I dislike it. I can't say it was the most fun case I have ever built a PC off of. It wasn't a knuckle buster, but it was very time consuming to go through the paces to set it up right. I like the idea of the rubber grommets to dampen vibration but I think Raidmax kind of dropped the ball here for those who want both an SSD drive and a card reader installed, which is what I did on this particular build. The provided screws were just inadequate for such a configuration. But at least there were plenty of stand offs, just wish there were some of those plastic ones to put into the corners to give the ends of the mother board a little more stability. I don't like it when the board bends a bit while plugging in the power supply. Rarely do I ever see case manufacturers supply these simple, yet effective plastic standoffs to address this problem. So the question that remained for me was... what do I rate this case? I wish there was a 3.5 egg rating sometimes. It was a toss up between a 3 and a 4. The case would have scored much higher had cable routing in the back actually been possible without rubbing up against the side panel, and had there been screws/space to actually fit both an SSD and a external card reader. Perhaps an easier front panel removal might have helped too. But, I DO like this case. It was a build for my uncle who wanted a new PC to start the year out with. I'm happy with the final finished product, and I MIGHT buy this case again if I plan on any builds using a standard hdd or no card reader. But I honestly can't recommend it if you want both the SSD and card reader... Sorry Raidmax. But don't fret, I'm still a huge fan of your RX-530SS power supplies and I expect to keep buying them through the year as long as you keep producing them.

Pros: nice big easy to hide the wires like that it has a place for the sdd and a place for another 120mm fan

Cons: the reset switch is defective ......so if u get it all wireed up and it won't boot up unplug it

Pros: Windows is cool looking, well buildt, I like the way the buttons feel.

Cons: No Cable management

Pros: Cheap, looks pretty cool, seems solid

Cons: poor cable management, fans seem a bit noisy

Other Thoughts: I was really afraid that I just bite the bullet on this without reading the reviews first and I was afraid this would be a nightmare to work with. While it's disappointing that there isn't any cable routing behind the motherboard, cable management wasn't the impossibility that it seemed to be in the previous reviews. I will say a modular PSU is a must with this case however. The pre-installed standoffs were a plus as well.

Pros: Overall a nice case. I had everything included plus extra. Everything fit inside quite snugly. Interesting design.

Cons: The blue LED on the front doesn't work for me.
Cable management could be an issue. Get a modular PSU.
Not much room to expand to second card (gtx 670.)
The drive and HD mounting is with screws.

Other Thoughts: My suggestion is to spend the extra $10-$20 and get a case with more fans and more room.

Pros: Simple and complete.
Had all the parts I needed.
Fairly inexpensive.
Front LED has a pleasant surprise.

No problems so far.

Cons: I've had no problems with this case so far. I'm only running a single-GPU system, though, and I did note that I might have had to get some extra screws if I wanted to run a multiple-GPU setup, as the screws they included were a little short in supply.

Other Thoughts: Mine did include a case speaker, contrary to what I've seen in other reviews.
2 120mm fans are nice, and work for me, but you'll probably want to look into some additional cooling if you're looking at overclocking or building a multiple-GPU system. There is 1 additional slot for a fan on the side, looks like it's for a 120mm.

Pros: Pretty good case for a price. Fast shipping. Girlfriend loves it. (it's hers)
- Price
- Inside is painted
- Includes stand-offs
- Looks nice with LED Fans installed

Cons: - Blue exhaust fan is utterly useless
- Sits flat. Has no feet to elevate it.

Other Thoughts: I got this for my girlfriend. She loves it. The build quality is what you would expect from a $40-50 case. Which is to say, no much. But it will serve it's purpose fine for her needs I'm sure.

Looks sharp at night, with the LEDs glowing.

My only issue was the exhaust fan seems to be absolutely useless. It must barely be turning because I can't feel ANY air being exhausted from the case when I put my hand up to it. Will replace it later down the road, I guess.

Also, I really wish this case was elevated off the floor. I hate sitting it flat on the carpet. Otherwise, fantastic purchase and fast shipping. I would recommend this case to any looking for a quick and simple setup with a budget minded price.

Pros: Good quality case for a good price. Has spots for 3 120mm fans which is a plus. Install was smooth and easy.

Cons: Didn't come with a case speaker for trouble shooting. Fans seem to literally do nothing.

Other Thoughts: Replaced fans and helped temps a lot.
