Pros: Price was excellent when I got it (60 after everything), looks good, airflow is good.

Cons: The case sometimes makes a very annoying vibration noise. I'm pretty sure it's not one of the hard drives because I've had these hard drives for a few years without issues. Every time I try to open the case to figure out what is doing it, it stops. The next two cons are related to the fact that I have to travel with my computer at least 2 times a week. The rubber feet on the rear of the case have both fallen off, I've given up sticking them back on. Also, the side doors have a section that sticks out about half an inch. I suppose it's for cable management behind the mother board and the big fan on the other side. The problem is, they aren't reinforced very well. I accidentally bent one side in with my elbow when I had the bright idea of carrying the case with one arm. Doesn't look so good now.

Overall Review: It would be an excellent case if I wasn't travelling with it so often and I could figure out what's making that vibration noise.
