RAIDMAX Raptor ATX-823BR Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Nice and clean look. I am able to hide the wires in the back. 2 USB 2.0 and 1 USB 3.0 combo. It is light and lots of room for the fan to circulate.

Cons: none

Pros: This was my first build and it was so easy to set everything up. The case is big and I had lots of room the figure out what I was doing. It also looks awesome!!

Cons: none

Pros: I have built 50 - 60 computers in the last decade & this is one of the better cases I've used. It's very rugged to begin with. But every thing is as it should be, no holes drilled just a little off --- all the panels & doors are perfectly aligned --- All 4 fans are functional & quiet. I am using an ASUS mobo with an AMD 8 core processor complete with water cooler. On the forums, the chief complaint on this combo was too cramped in side a midtower. However, it all fits great in this Raptor, not even slightly cramped. I love it.

Cons: The fan controls & USB ports being on top of the case & pointing up will be a problem. If the unit is on a table, you will need to stand every time you plug in a USB or adjust a fan. Also the USBs will fill with dust very quickly. That is bad.

Pros: "A thing of beauty is a joy forever". Someone in the Design Department has an Art background. Form and Function. Absolutely nice to look at! Inside, it's a surprise, the designer again did his homework. Orange paint, no sharp edges, wires tied up.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I have assembled at least a dozen PC, using cases from different well-known manufacturers: Antec, Thermaltake, Rosewill, etc. I can say with absolute certainty, this case surpasses them all. Will buy again!

Pros: The air circulation is awesome!

The color scheme I think is perfect, the black metal and plastic with under stated red accouterments but it really shows off with the LEDs on fans at full brightness.

Very easy to use cable management.

The hard drive bays are easy to work with.

the 5.25 bays are exceptionally easy to work with

Cons: My only gripe, and it's kind of a major one is that the power switch was DOA ditto on the reset. I contacted Raidmax they sent me out 2 new generic switches but alas they do not fit under the buttons. I got it to work only after a significant amount of monkeying with it, but with out the buttons, because when I attempted to use the generic switches they sent as replacements it cracked the buttons.

Other Thoughts: Over all I love the case but I knocked it 2 eggs because of the fact that the power and reset switches just would not work and the generics they sent caused the cracking of the buttons. Under normal pretenses I would highly recommend it but because of this I'm on the fence.

Pros: This is a great case! I love the design and the color of the case as well as the fact that they basically did the cable management for me! Everything was routed nicely through the holes and twisty-tied behind the motherboard, so that made me pretty happy!

Cons: What I didn't necessarily like about the case was the fins in the front are super flimsy. I feel that if I were to put any pressure on them that they would snap right off. I guess it's not that big of a deal, but I don't really want those to break off of the case because it gives it a nice design.

Other Thoughts: Good case for the money considering I only paid about 43 dollars with the promo and the MIR!

Pros: super fast shiping even though did it for free cases looks great no problems thus far

Cons: some plastic is little flimisy so just be careful

Other Thoughts: looks great good deal

Pros: Cable routing, Well made, Looks nice

Cons: Found the 5 1/4" Drive bays a little tight. Don't like the fins on the front they are in the way and feel flimsy.

Other Thoughts: Overall a nice case, however I found when trying to get two DVD drives in next to each other the screw holes wont line up. Fans are fine, cable routing is good, I don't really like the front fins but that is a personal preference. They get in the way when pressing the drive open/close button also they make the whole box a little too long to fit in my desk opening, It won't let the front door close and I can't push the case back any further. Overall Nice.

Pros: Bottom mount power supply, very nice look, fan control, usb 3.0

Cons: flimsy plastic fins on the front and flimsy removable hdd mounts

Other Thoughts: Really nice case for the price seeing as I got it on sale for $50 USD but not quite as nice as so more expensive cases. Great for cheap gaming pc builds.

Pros: You get a lot of case for your money here. Quality materials used, the removable hard drive bays could really come in handy if video cards get much longer. (Reason for getting a new case to begin with)

Cons: I don't like the fins on the sides, they move too much and I fear they could break. I wish there was more space between the motherboard tray and the case panel for cables to fit.

Other Thoughts: Overall it is a good buy for a gamer on a budget.
