Pros: I used this for a family build, it was a bit larger than the machine it was replacing. It looks very nice, nice and glossy, and it's very spacious inside. I didn't cut myself at all, but I was being very careful.

Cons: It did come with a 'this product contains lead' notice. So I guess, don't chip the paint and eat it?

If you install a front 120mm fan, or any fan really, the hard drives will reach out over the motherboard.

Other Thoughts: Luckily I put a mATX inside the case, so the HD issue wasn't a problem.

Everything works great, no complaints.

Pros: The blue light on front still as bright as it was when i first got it. This tower may seem flimsy but its traveled with me to my friends homes and back, If you paint the inside with sliver paint and mod the top you can have cool light show..

Cons: Wish it came with a monkey to get me drinks.

Other Thoughts: I got this as a cheap case and ended up respecting coolmax they made a cool case.
