1 out of 5 eggsHorrible Craftsmanship

Pros: Cheap

Cons: I am using these cases for several client pcs and so far I have found several flaws in the cases as well as marks left. I also have photo evidence as well.
-There were hand and shoe prints of dust or dirt on parts of the PC where you could only leave that type of mark before assembly
- The end of one of the Molex power connectors had what appeared to be mucus on the end of it.
- The side panels are too tight and there are no indents or hand holds to grasp them open with.
- Power supply screw mounting holes are not properly aligned and the cases are slightly bent by the PSU as well.
- some of the front panel wires were left with the labels during assembly still attached.
- the metal add-on card covers on the rear are to short and do not sit in place properly.
- the tabs for the front panel expansion bay covers are poorly designed and as a result tend to snap off when removing a cover.
- the mounting plate for the motherboard does not have proper support or enough rivets and as a result the plate is very flimsy.

Other Thoughts: I work for a small business that provides IT solutions for businesses and we are always looking for cases that meet this criteria: cheap, unlabeled, basic and sturdy. I cannot think of a situation where this case would be useful as its flaws are not acceptable for our needs and there are many BETTER quality cases to choose from that are labeled if you didn't mind it being branded. DIY PC's other case with the blue fan and USB 3.0 ports (can't remember model #) is a very good case that we had used in the past but my boss accidently ordered these instead.

2 out of 5 eggsfront broken

Pros: Cheap

Cons: First day having it, it seemed sturdy. Was looking around and noticed the front seemed kinda loose at the bottom. Took a closer look and noticed it was broken and a small crack goes up the front of the case

1 out of 5 eggsYou get what you pay for

Pros: One of the cheapest cases available.

Cons: You get what you pay for.
-When I opened the case the screws were everywhere instead of contained in a bag. Even after I rounded up all of the screws I was still finding random screws falling out of the case as I was putting everything together.
-I could not install the DVD player into the top bay because the wires for the power and reset were in the way. If I was adamant about leaving it on the top then I would have broken at least one of the wires off. When I tried to install it into the lower slot, it would not fit because the mount was misshapen. I had to use a flat head screwdriver to pry the mount open to fit the DVD player. (I know DVD players are just about obsolete but my wife insisted on having one.)
-The mount for the power supply was poorly aligned. I could only get in 3 of the 4 screws.
-The bracket to install the SSD required that you screw in the SSD from the under side which offered very little room to squeeze in a screwdriver. The mount is riveted in so you can not remove it to easily install the SSD. So unless you have a 2.5" bracket for the drive you will need a screwdriver with a magnetic tip that is shorter than 5 inches.
-The fan mounted at the front of the case is useless because there is no way for it to pull in air. The front panel on the case does not have any holes for air to pass through to the fan.

Other Thoughts: I do not normally write reviews on the products I purchase but I felt it was necessary to provide a warning for anyone interested in this case. If you are on a tight budget then you can make this case work, but if you can spare a few more dollars I would recommend just about anything else. The only reason I purchased it was because I had practically no money. Knowing what I know now though, I would have borrowed an extra $5 just to be able to get a different case.

4 out of 5 eggsCheapest Case Around!

Pros: Very well priced
Near silent fans, I thought they weren't working at first!
Easy to open
Looks great

Cons: PSU is a pain to get in, there's a little cut out for where the plug should face but this did not line up with my power supply

Other Thoughts: The colors for the front audio jacks are backwards, pink is labeled headphones and connected to audio out, and the microphone port is green, this really confused me at first.

4 out of 5 eggsNice price, nice Tower

Pros: Got this when was on sale, arrived sooner than expected, works well, both fans are silent

Cons: was unhappy when opening box to find extra screws sliding loose in case

Other Thoughts: Packaging the extra screws would be nice, spent the first 10-20 minutes of putting my new system together, taking panels off to get all the loose screws

4 out of 5 eggsNice inexpensive case

Pros: This is the cheapest case I found with a front USB3 port and 2 case fans. The 120mm front fan also lights up red.

Cons: The case is a little short front to back, so the 3.5" drives end up over the front memory slot on the MB that I'm using. It may interfere with taller memory on certain MBs.
The power supply doesn't mount flush to the back either, but that is just cosmetic to me.

Other Thoughts: I built 15 systems using this case and would buy it again.

4 out of 5 eggsGood case for the price

Pros: Lots of room for the size of case that it is. The included fans are quiet yet move a lot of air. Possible to install more fans on the side with the vents even though they aren't marked for it.

Cons: VERY thin metal. VERY easy to strip the screws. Do not try to tighten these down very much. I found this out when trying to tighten a loose motherboard standoff. Lucky it was one in the center. Minus 1 egg for the screw threads.

Other Thoughts: This is a cheap case. What can I say? For what you pay for it its a good one if your only going to build once. If your going to be in and out of it all the time forget it. The screw mounts won't take it. I built this as a spare/lite duty system and am very happy with it.
