Pros: It's the little details that make this a great case (lots of thumbscrews, side panel latching mechanism, rubber mounts for fans and hdd's, removable dust filters on all intakes, copious space to hide cables). My case came with 20pin mobo connectors for the front USB, which was great as I didn't really want to have to run cables out the back.

Cons: It's a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Overall Review: I don't have any optical drives so I can't comment on the complaints with installing those.
