Fill the belly of your beast of a system while you lead your party into the heart of darkness. The Orca case from Sigma has plenty of room for mobos up to 10.5"x12.5" and 7 expansion slots at the back give you plenty of room for multiple video cards and other add-ons. A support ledge for your power supply makes installation easier.
The 10 drive bays has ample space for drives and front mounted controls. There are 4 internal 3.5" bays, 2 external 3.5" bays and 4 external 5.25" bays. Fully loading all those bays could lead to heat issues but Sigma has thought of that with vent holes at the front and rear of the case that are assisted by an 80mm side fan and a 120mm rear fan that can be easily removed to make system setup easier.
The front of the case has mounting holes by the internal bays for another fan to keep your drives cool. There are 2 audio jacks and 2 USB ports up front on the brushed aluminum front panel to let you plug in your headset without reaching around back to unplug your speakers.

Good for the price
- Pros: Out of the box, the case is a little flimsy but once everything is installed it stiffens up. Lots of room to work in. No problems installing parts. Nice big side window.
- Cons: None. I'm happy.
- Other Thoughts: Nice case. No problems. Looks good. I recommend it.
Really, horrible quality case
- Pros: It does hold a motherboard, hdd, dvd drive, and psu... and includes a huge fan
- Cons: The quality of this case is abysmal. Within 5 minutes of opening this case and working on it 2 of the plastic front panel tabs (that attach it to the case itself) broke and
the "metal" front panel finish started to peel off at the edges. After another 10 minutes 3 more of the front panel tabs broke. I have built PCs with cases that costed less than this one and included a PSU with no parts breaking. This is just poor quality.
The holes to mount the motherboard were pretty badly aligned (had to leave out 2 screws to avoid putting undue skewing pressure on the board). The general front panel alignment was pretty bad too, even before the plastic tabs started breaking.
- Other Thoughts: When I see bad reviews on a case I usually just think "ehh you build it once and its under a table, no biggie". Well that may be true, but building with this thing was a huge pain, and paying a company for trash means that they will continue to produce trash unchecked. Spend your money on something that isnt so cheaply made.
