4 out of 5 eggsIt is what I wanted

Pros: I was looking for a small size, attractive micro ATX case that included easy mounting for 2.5" drives to house my (ECS) Atom based system. There is plenty of room in the case and it looks pretty good. I just had to slide my notebook drive into one of the drive slots and I was up and running. Overall, this case meets my needs.

Cons: I think it is a bit pricey for what you get, or don't get. Athena cut some corners. Both fans were mounted with only two screws instead of four. There is space for 4 front panel USB connectors but they give you only 2. There are no "feet" on the case. This might be OK if you put the case on the floor, but it is not OK if you plan to place the case horizontally on a desk or other finished surface. I used some stick-on felt furniture sliders. They work well but are not attractive. Fortunately, you can't really see them.
Just about everything is riveted, including the HD cage. The only exception is the the DVD drive cage and I found it kind of time consuming to install my DVD drive. You have to remove the DVD drive cage and mess with the placement in order to fit the drive properly. The case includes a nice faceplate with a little door that comes down when you eject the drive. The only trouble is that you have to remove the existing drive faceplate which is not worth the effort to me.

Other Thoughts: I am experimenting with fan arrangements to get good cooling with minimum noise. Both the top 80 mm (side) panel fan and the rear 60 mm fan came installed to exhaust from the case. I removed the rear fan and replaced it with two SiLenx 60 mm fans. Using the GPU temp as a rough metric, I ran the system with the top fan as exhaust, as intake and then ran without it. So far it seems that removing it provides better cooling by 2 or 3 degrees and eliminates some fan noise.

5 out of 5 eggsLike the case

Pros: It's small and quite. loaded with parts it weights 13lbs. Never built a micro-atx before but now I wish my own was an micro. Good case functionality with two front USB and audio jacks. The metal isn't too thick or thin it's just right. Cool blue light and an exterior disk drive cover that makes the front very uniform and sleek. also has accommodation for two removable 2.5" HDs in a little plastic case that I don't use but could be useful. Fairly easy to get the parts in there.

Cons: A little hard getting the CD drive in there, but you know it's all good.

Other Thoughts: Not the cases fault but mine (in too much of a hurry) I broke the 2.5" bay locking door off because it's cheap light plastic and then the exterior chrome button for the CD drive because it is also cheap and light plastic that can't take much abuse at all. Again, not the case's fault and you're not going to get extremely high quality stuff for this price. That being said I am very happy with this case they did an excellent job it's very easy to put together and even comes with two small fans on the side and back with room for 2 or three more to be attached.
