Love it! Wish it had more 2.5" cages though
Pros: Large body Great options for cable management USB 3.0 on front side and back side Awesome ventilation
Cons: So I've had this case about 2-1/2 years at this point. Up until last week, I've had zero issues with it! Well, I went to add another SSD and realized that it was only equipped with one 2.5" HDD cage. Bummer...I'm currently trying to get ahold of CoolerMaster support to see if another cage is orderable, just so I can keep this case and not have to try to "rig" a 2.5" SSD to a 3.5" HDD cage.
Board was DOA
Pros: Haven't gotten the chance to check it out yet.
Cons: Board arrived to me DOA. I put it in the case, and like I do all of my builds, plug up the PSU to the board to verify power. And... Nothing. No blips, LEDs, nothing at all. Tested the PSU because (and I was hoping) that it was bad. Power supply is fine, tried to power on the board with another PSU, still nothing. Took the board out of the case, still nothing with either power supplies. I had never owned an AsRock board before, and got this on a recommendation of another enthusiast. I understand that no manufacturer has 100% rate, but it's still slightly discouraging.
Overall Review: Now, with a DOA board, I get to spend $15 to ship it back to Newegg for an RMA and may not get this build done by Christmas...
Fantastic!
Pros: I've had this case for just about a year now, and all I can say is WOW. This case is absolutely fantastic, and for the mid-range price you can not find a better full ATX case. Before this case, I had to clean out my tower almost monthly from dust accumulation. With this, (and nearly identical components), I've only cleaned it out maybe 3 times in the past year, and there's been minimal dust buildup. I'm running all the stock fans from the case, a CoolerMaster V8 heatsink, 3 HDD's, 1 SSD, a 660ti, and a TV tuner card. Plenty of room, fantastic cable management, and so little dust!
Cons: Size is a concern if you don't have much room. Make sure you take the dimensions and measure out where you'll be putting it, especially if you've never had a Full ATX case before. It's large, but I'm in love with it.
