GIGABYTE GZ-F5HEB Black SECC Steel / ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: lot of space and nice looking

Cons: the case is larger than it is specified in the details 17" X 17" x 7. it is a little light and metal is thin.

Other Thoughts: case is to large to be a desktop PC. not going to use it and cost much to ship it back. if you are looking for a case to set on you desk, find somethimg else.

Pros: Low cost with good fit and finish. Top mounted front panel.

Cons: The construction is light weight. You have to remove the front bezel to install optical drive. A full ATX mobo would not fix this case very well.

Other Thoughts: Nice PC for under $300 using

ASRock 960GM/U3S3 FX AM3+ AMD 760G
AMD Sempron 145 Sargas 2.8GHz Socket AM3
Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 500GB
LG 24X DVD Burner
LOGISYS PS480X2 480W ATX12V Power Supply
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series DDR3 1600 (2X2Gb)

Pros: Inexpensive case of decent brand. Despite thin side panels (like all cheap cases do) front is very solid and rather nice looking for under 30$ case. Power button does not feel like it's going push through (and does on other cases under 30$ range occasionaly).

Cons: Pretty sharp inside due to thin metal construction, watch your hands. Side panels made out of tinfoil grade metal - still does job though. Airflow could be better, but then again, this was never meant to be gaming case in first place.

Pros: Really cheap, black exterior, front plastic is cheap but not flimsy at all

Cons: dvd drives are hard tight fits to install, the second dvd drive will not go in because the motherboard is in the way. the positioning of the HDD cages puts them above the sata ports on my mobo making HDD's a little harder to install. Top mounted PSU. No cable management what so ever.

Other Thoughts: to anyone who is going to be building a really low budget computer, this case is perfect but it was never built to be able to hold a gaming computer.

Pros: *Inexpensive
*Easy to install components

Cons: *Thin materials
*Missing one or two standoffs for motherboard mounting

Other Thoughts: While the thin materials are something of a drawback, it should be noted that this case is really an exceptional value if you're simply going to build a system into it and leave it be. This is most certainly not a case that lends itself to multiple/frequent changes at the hardware level.

The rear cooling fan has a 4-pin MOLEX connector only, and is mounted to blow air inwards. This was a bit confusing at first, but makes sense after consideration, as it brings cool air into the CPU cooler. The top-mounted power supply then draws the heated air out of the case.

This case seems to do very well for a Celeron dual-core system which is used for casual operations.

I had to change a couple of components during the build, resulting in a single stripped screw thread on the case's system for holding the PCI/card components securely at the back, but moving the screw to the next available hole took care of any concerns I had. This is not as alarming as it sounds, because the retaining system uses a single metal 'clip' to anchor all/any cards mounted to the back of the case, with several screw holes provided.

Don't look to this case for future upgrading, but be confident that it will house a single build for a long time. Once it's buttoned up, it's actually a solid build.

Pros: Cheap, works fine. Comes with a fan. Big power button lit up red. Dual front panel USB's

Cons: Flimsy steel-but as expected for the price.

Other Thoughts: Cheap case. For 25 bux what do you expect. Came UNDAMAGED. Not sure what complaints are about. Lot of case for 25 bux.

Pros: Holds my old hp now. buttons, fans, ports all work (kinda, see cons)

Cons: Will not run two usb devices when plugged in at once on front panel. It will only run one at a time.

Other Thoughts: Deducted one egg for the problem with the front panel.

Pros: You can put a computer in it

Cons: Akkkk! Make it stop!. You will want to smash it! This thing hums constantly, and it's LOUD, even with NO case fans at all. The manufacturer seems to have found the resonant frequency for everything inside a PC, then managed to amplify it to a ridiculous volume via cheap plastic rubbing on thin steel at all the joints. It's riveted together, so you can't tighten said joints, either. If you feel like slopping silicone caulking in every seam, this is a perfect case. Otherwise, RUN! RUN NOW!

Other Thoughts: It looks ok, but it's an unbelievably shoddy case. BUZZZ BUZZZZZZ BUZZZZZ! Annoyed yet? You will be!

Pros: Got it on Black Friday sale for $20 as a basic case. Great solid construction. Great deal for the money.

Cons: Little small, could not for the Cooler Master Hyper 212 without bending the side panel

Pros: Low Price, Good Quality, USB Ports near top of Case, Fan Included, Nice Glossy Black Front

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Would definitely buy again, especially at Black Friday week prices.
