Fantastic case
Pros: Minimalist design. I cannot stress enough how great it is that this case exists just for the fact that it doesn't have multiple colors and weird angles. The hard drive bays are situated perfectly and if you pair this with the 2 or 3 slot hot swap backplane this case has very handy features. There are plenty of fans, and plenty of places for more!
Cons: Front heavy - but gets balanced out when you populate it. Could stand to use some wheels/castors rather than just foot pucks. Should be a way to use the included screens in the open fan slots without installing a fan. Top ventilation would be nice, but I don't want fans on top.
Overall Review: I'm not sure what other user's are talking about when they mention the build quality or the issue with the screws. The screws that were included with mine were aluminum and soft, but they did not strip out as easily as other's have claimed that they did.

Pros: ...yet to be seen.
Cons: What is up with no driver disc? Is it that hard/expensive to make one? No. Now I have to wait for Creative's limping download server to send them to me...
Overall Review: Buy something else.
Loud
Pros: Great r/w speeds on a full SATA III bus.
Cons: Loud clicking, like a typical Seagate drive has. Not that big of a deal but very noticeable with a quiet case. I thought there was something wrong with them but I've ran UX twice and PC Doc twice, no issues. Just a clickity clackity hard drive.
Great machine
Pros: Great hardware for the price.
Cons: Graphics is a little weak, but does the trick just fine. Plays everything I throw at it. I'm not much of a gamer, so this would really only be a con for hardcore gaming fanatics.
Overall Review: For every experiencing blue screens. The case this computer originally came in is not designed for this CPU. The heat buildup inside the case was awful. Removing the side panel helped a little, but I suggest an Antec 900 or equivalent paired with a much better CPU fan. I did that, without liquid cooling, and I get very nice temps.
