Nice But...
- Pros: this case is very sturdy and well built. i have no complaints about the build quality or looks of this case.
- Cons: terrible air flow. do NOT purchase this case if you are building a higher end system. this thing heats up like an oven. if you are building a moderate pc with low heat producing hardware it should be fine. if you are building an SLI gaming system like mine, don't even think about it. also there is an issue with the size of power supplies. only the smallest will fit.
- Other Thoughts: i love the look of this case so much, i only wish it had the air flow or room i need for my system.
Excellent Case
- Pros: Compared to this case, all others are cardboard boxes. While requiring some thought (as all cases do when routing cables) prior to and during assembly this has been the best case that I have seen in fit and finish. I’ve kicked my other workstation boxes to the curb.

- Cons: When using RAIDs (room for 6 HDD) the proximity to the PS is concerning but not problematic.
My Opinion
- Pros: Very nice looking, THICK aluminum, solid as a rock. Good interior and easy wire management.
- Cons: Motherboard must be mounted upside down. This is fine unless you have a motherboard with a heat pipe on the chipset, in which you will be running a lot hotter than normal. I'm running an A8N32-SLI with no stability problems, but be prepared for higher temperatures than normal. As long as you don't overclock it should be ok though.
Door develops a squeak at the hinges, needs some grease or WD-40 to prevent this.
Side panels are a pain to get off and on. I've used much cheaper cases with a much easier to work with side panel.
Apparently you need to remove all drive bay covers just to get access to the upper CD/DVD rom space.. You need to remove the floppy cover, and then the 4 bay covers just to get access to the top slot. This is quite possibly the stupidest thing I have ever seen.
There is very little room for the power supply, and if your PSU has a 120mm fan on the top or bottom, there is almost NO room at all for airflow through the PSU.
- Other Thoughts: A very nice case, with some flaws that you wouldn't expect for the price. But the overall build quality and the look of the case are excellent.
