This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Very light weight and sturdy. The secret hardware compartment makes me giggle. The tooless fan holder in the front is hot

Cons: Power supply was very difficult to install you need to remove the brace install the PSU and then reinstall the brace make sure you do before you install the mother board. I dunno how to hook up the frontal usb (the connecter has 9 separate pin things) maybe its just me.

Other Thoughts: Make sure to buy fans and a grill

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Lightweight. Sturdy construction. Not too big, but not cramped inside. Looks nice, like a smaller 601 (Dragon or Matrix).

Cons: A pain to work with. Word to the wise: remove the brace around the power supply area (two screws) before starting. You can't get the PSU in with a mobo installed if it's there. Drive rails don't work (hint: use a rail and still screw in the other side).

Other Thoughts: Decent little case, but nothing special. Arrived damaged (and late...) but was easily fixable. With computer cases, you really get what you pay for. While it's a nice case for the money, I'd reccommend springing for the Dragon (also Chenming).

Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: The case is very light, yet sturdy.
Removable hard drive cage.

Cons: On the case that I received, the retention clip that is supposed to be attached to the optical drives did not fit. Either NEC makes a really wide DVD-RW drive or the width of the optical drive bays are too thin. I had to dremel off a bunch of plastic on the purple clip in order for my NEC 3550 to fit.

Other Thoughts: Would definitely not buy this case again. Would spend the extra money to buy a better aluminum case on newegg! Newegg does rock though!
