Most Favorable Review

Great size box, just lacking power with stock PS for top APU.

Pros: Don't want to knock this case, it was great quality, but see cons for my issues. Sturdy and nice fit on shelf for an HTPC. I wish it could fit components.

Cons: ~!~(see other for build info)~!~Tried to put top AMD APU (95w) and i think the excessive wattage req was too much for 200w PS to handle. Had stability issues right off the bat. I returned this case and the reason why was I couldn't fit a CPU fan in it. BUY AFTERMARKET LOW PROFILE CPU COOLER (AMD A10-7870K stock no fit). Fan height was higher than frame but about 1/2'', would've worked with a slimmer fan i think, but picked up what i found at a local PC component retailer and fans their were too wide and unable to fit without hitting ram and completely unable to mount.
