Good solid case. Not bad looking either

RAIDMAX Helios ATX-819WB Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
RAIDMAX Helios ATX-819WB Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: It has enough room for a Zalman 9900 CPU cooling fan and it's is good for cable management. The doors are easy to take off and put back on and if you practice good house keeping with your cables you shouldn't have an issue putting them back up. It's modular enough to work in many types of configurations for hardware. Airflow is surprisingly good. My CPU runs 30 degrees Celsius and below under load. The fan that comes with the case is powerful and has a sexy blue LED glow that is epic.

Cons: The case fan has a molex connector which is way too short. I had to connect it to my power supply directly so it runs loud which isn't fun. It should come with at least an extension. The case the back ports for cables don't have rubberized edges which can be annoying when they dig into the cords that you push back there for cable management and there are not enough of them. Difficult getting some of the power cords to the motherboard through the back.

Overall Review: I bought the case for a PC I was building for my nephew . He picked it out. After working on the CASE for 3 hours with the build and looking at the finished product I think I will build a PC for myself; it will probably be a Raidmax case. It's a good price and if you like the looks you shouldn't worry about the rest to much. It's good to go.

Pros: This case is epic! I hear a strange sound emanating from the structure which some have called a PC case. I think I am evolving just being near the monolith. This is the sexiest case there is on the market and it was such an easy case to build in that I thought for a second it was actually doing it for me(It might have been dum dum duuuum!). I has every option you would need in a spaceship - ..err I mean PC case. If I had the need, and the wherewithal, Mr. Banks, this would be my case of choice. If the monolith from 2001 and the spaceship from close encounters of the third kind had a baby and that baby had a baby with Doctor Manhattan than that would be a freaking weird baby. But this case is awesome and the weird energy baby would buy this case. Case of choice for weird creepy energy babies throughout the universe.

Cons: This thing is a money pit because once you get it all you want to do is throw money at it to make it happy. I now want to build a custom water loop just because it has the room and it speaks to me in my sleep. Stay away from this case if you lack self control. This is the Marie Antoinette of cases. Just don't lose you head trying to make it happy.
