Pros: Great little case for the money! Lightweight, easy to move around due to the handle on top.

Cons: Power button sometimes will stick when you press it in.

Rosewill R604TBLK-N 3 x120mm Cooling Fan Pre-Installed on the TOP,Front and Rear ,ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with 450W Power Supply

Pros: Price, Comes with PSU and 120mm fan

Cons: Front USB panel partialy defective. Major hassle trying to get the side of the case on. I am a system builder, and i build custom computers in under 45 minutes. With this case it took an extra 15 minutes because of the various junk they did to the case. I am a big beliver in not messing with cases, and just leaving them be a standard insert and screw-in hardware type case. None of the fancy plastic junk designed to supposedly speed up installing and removing hardware, when in fact it does quite the opposite.

Overall Review: Will not be using this case in our custom computers.

Pros: Fast!

Cons: As many people have stated, the Acronis Keys provided with the SSD's I received will not activate the Acronis True Image HD software. Epic fail by someone. I am guessing Aronis.

Cheap Case = Cheap Product

Rosewill FE-M010 Black SECC Steel Micro ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Rosewill FE-M010 Black SECC Steel Micro ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Cheap ($). Plenty of hard drive slots.

Cons: Very thin, cheap construction. Was a major pain to get out the motherboard port plate. The new one wouldn't go in right because the case is so flimsy, it bent alot when I was trying to get the motherboard port plate (that is what I call it anyways) out. The hard drives cover up a good chunk of the motherboard (if you have a wide mobo). The CD/DVD tray doesn't work worth a darn. In fact, the spring loaded cover doesn't even close the tray after the CD/DVD eject opens it. The spring is there, but it just doesn't want to close it. I build and sell systems, and have used Rosewill cases and been happy with the higher cost ones, but very unhappy with the super cheap ones (like this). I suggest avoiding this case unless you are a very low budget.

Not impressed

GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Decent price

Cons: There is something messed up with the fan power on this board. The cpu fan would not work right. You can see it attempting to go, but it just wont. I plugged it into another fan power connector on the board and it worked, but it still kind of worked strange. Hopefully nothing else is defective with the board. The mobo manual is not that great. It is about 1/4 of the size of the ASUS board I purchased at the same time.
