Watch movies and play games all day.
- Pros: Packed well inside retail box and very well constructed. Fans move air decently. Anti-vibration HDD mounts work as intented. HDD have mounts for additional cooling fans HDD mounting layout is well thought out, plenty of space for future add ons. The panel doors operate fluidly and a dampeners keep them from klanking on the case when opened. AS FOR GRAPHICS CARDS; 4870 cards will fit in this case but the heat from those cards will affect the whole system temperature. Will fit some medium size heatsinks up to 5.75 to 6 inchs in height. Very strudy case. A very nice feature is that there is ample about 0.5" room under the Motherboard to run PSU Wire and USB connections. Use of very quiet fans keep it quiet. If it is loud it's not this cases fault.
- Cons: All Very minor. All the drive bays have to come out to allow installation of full ATX Motherboard. Other than that nothing else really was interfering with the ATX board or other devices. Instructions for the case are useless. Card reader USB plug should have been 1 plug instead of seperate-- This may have to do with the accommadation for the optional front panel display. A small trade off for sound insulation is the limitation of convectional air flow. A Small Vent on the PSU side of the case is only there to keep it looking symetrical IMO. This vent becomes blocked when installing a full-size PSU.
For a HTPC the Power LED lights are annoyingly bright. There are many options but the really Simple fix is:
PLED(+)and(-) connection to the Mobo: don't hook up.
- Other Thoughts: I've been building top spec computers for over 8 years. This is a very good case, IF USED PRACTICALLY the heat issue is not a factor, however (large amount of new egg users) few people want to put 295 GTX's or 4870x2 or multiple-graphics card in a HTPC --This part of the review is for you Mr. pc game enthusiaist guy-- That is fine with this case but you will need to further modify the case for that experience as well as HDD bays and ventilation. As I said before it will accomidate anything to the likes of a 9600gt to 4870 with out modification. It is intended for average user and mild to Moderate-gamer setup IMO. Modular PSU should not be necessary
Great HTPC Case
- Pros: Lots of room for Hard Drives, Ambient temperature in case remains very cool even with all the heatpipes and fanless options I went with. Well put together case, very quite fans included.
- Cons: Tooks some shimming and shaking to get everything to fit, but everything went in well in the end. Not really any cons that I can think of.
- Other Thoughts: HTPC Components used:

Good Case
- Pros: Good Case for the price. Solid construction and nice finish. built in card reader and USB ports on the front. Will hold many hard drives. Fits an enzotech cpu cooler. Lots of places to put fans.
- Cons: A bit cramped with a full ATX board. I actually had to loosen all of the mobo screws and pry it over as far as it would go to make enough room for the power supply. It is REALLY tight.
Watch movies and play games all day.

Great HTPC case
- Pros: Quiet, roomy, solid, cool running, cool looking
- Cons: bay door a bit "loose"
super-bright LED's A bit of a pain to assemble/tweak insides No cable management
- Other Thoughts: I got this case for an HTPC. It's impressively quiet (with the stock case fans), the power supply location is great. The drive cages are a bit annoying but since the hard drive cage is padded to reduce vibration, there is actually plenty of friction to hold the drive with only 2 screws on top. You don't really need to take it out to secure the bottom screws.
The front door to the bays has some give which makes it feel a bit cheap when using it, but this is really a very minor issue. Most of the time this will be close anyway and it looks great. I suspect a little piece of foam on the inside would get rid of this issue. I would recommend putting your CPU heatsink on before mounting the motherboard in place since it's a bit cramped in there with the DVD cage in place.
Great case!
