Overall Review: definatly not the same card..fast, but not as fast
Design Flaw
Pros: Nice looking case Somewhat sturdy Seems like a good deal with free shipping and a mial in rebate
Cons: The top 5.25 slot comes occupied with an uneccessary removable dvd faceplate. Be aware that if you chose to discard this plate to install your regular the task may prove to be difficult; The non standard slot insert will turn your simple dvd installation into nightmare. Anyone who expericenced this knows and understands.
Overall Review: This is the second NZXT case model purchased and the second design flaw discoverd. The first model had issues with the power button spring mechanism getting stuck in the on position.
