Great Case!!!
- Pros: -Very VERY sleek
-Cheap
-Great glossy paint
-Easy for a first build
- Cons: In my eyes there is no cons except for there is no sata power cable. There is 4 4-pin molex connectors. I had to buy an adapter.
- Other Thoughts: I don't see why other people had a problem with this case I thought it was great. It's super sleek. The lights will not "blind" you. The PSU is working great. I have NO problems with this case I love it!
The price is right... maybe.
- Comments: I bought this case and constructed a fairly standard system... a athlon64 3000+, Geforce 6600 256mb, etc. There are some very positive features of the case, but some aspects that may be deal breakers for potential customers.
1) The power supply failed in two weeks. Not only that, but once I replaced it with a better one, my internal temp dropped about 4 degrees.
2) The fans do an excellent job, but are very loud. Also, the locations where they are configured tends to keep the base of the case poorly cooled. I had serious video card heating problems until I bought more fans and relocated the one on the side window.
3) The case is VERY bright. Especially the front lights. I like them, but others may want to disconnect them, as they are like four tiny blue flashlights.
Regardless of these issues, I think that this case is a fair value. It is very attractive and extremely spacious on the interior. If I could even slightly recommend the power supply, this case would be a no-brainer.
As always, NewEgg service rules. Had this puppy in three days from across the country.
affordable case
- Pros: Lots of room for anything i was able to put in 4 hard drives no problem along with front fans. Definitely an upgrade from an old stock computer. I have five fans in this case and it keeps my system at an average of 44 degrees. Doesnt help that its in a bad spot though... but no issues I recommend this case to anyone that is building a low budget computer.
- Cons: The material when its not built feels flimsy but once its all together it doesnt matter.
- Other Thoughts: When putting on front fans make sure to unscrew both sides. I hate to say it but it stumped me for a few min.
