Case is HUGE
Pros: First off this case is huge, i figured it was big by looking at the dimensions but when you see this in person and have all your parts in it you can really see how big this thing is. Plenty of room to hold all my components and wires without a problem. The video card rack is nice since my card is so long its nice to have support on the back of it. Four adjustable fans is also a plus. Sound insulation is excellent even with all the fans running at full speed it is very quiet, when playing games or watching movies its pretty much silent. Excellent case.
Cons: It is a little pricy but you get what you pay for. Not really a con but the fan switch is blocked the by the dust screen so you have to pull it up to change the speeds. The drive bays are a pain to screw in cause you have to go through the little opening in the front and if you have a long screwdriver a pain on the reverse too.
Overall Review: I feel that this case was worth the price, even though it is expensive. It has plenty of room to hold everything. My huge video card and heatsink had no trouble fitting in here. Some people complain about how the optical drives come sideways, for me this was better than straight out. Its just something to consider when purchasing that you have enough room on the left or right for them to come out.
Excellent CPU
Pros: Awesome CPU thats incredibly fast. Allows me to run multiple applications such as music, vent, and games. Easily overclockable (even though i havent gone that route). Definitely a bang for the buck!
Cons: OEM shipping is garbage, mine came in a plastic case with two pieces of hard foam. This would have been ok except the case cracked open, so when i opened the box it was in the case and the pieces of foam were in one place and the processor was in another. Luckily theres no pins on it or there woudl be a problem. No Fan or Heatsink so make sure you get one.
Overall Review: Runs a little on the hot side so make sure you have a good heatsink and fan. I use the cooler master v8 and it keeps it fairly cool.
