Great looks, great price

RAIDMAX Super Hurricane ATX-248NWU Black / Blue Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Great looks, very low price, and still has enough space to get what you need in there.

Cons: Not the sturdiest of materials, but it's not a cardboard box either. Others have complained about lack of room, but I've had just enough room so far for everything I need.

Had to RMA

Pros: I have to tip my cap to OCZ's swift RMA program. Newegg couldn't accept the return because I processed a rebate, so I sent it to OCZ. They processed it in no-time flat. Within a day I had a RMA number and address to send it to. The item arrived at the facility on Friday, and the replacement was shipped out on Monday. That is why I am giving this a 4-star even though the PSU didn't work.

Cons: PSU was DOA unfortunately. However the great price I got for it and the speedy RMA service almost made up for this unfortunate problem.

Pros: Great interface makes overclocking simple. Plenty of room for expansion, and it even looks great... although I wish they had a blue version for my blue color scheme.

Cons: None for the price level, it's a great value.

Great Value

Pros: I added a second fan using the available mounting bracket to turn this into a push-pull cooler, and it works great. Idle around 27-29C and doesn't get above 60C during gaming.

Cons: It's large, and it barely fits in a mid-tower case. Make sure to measure before you buy.

As advertised

Pros: Fast and easy setup. Online in minutes even on an older computer. Compact, no need to find space for antennae.

Cons: None
