Pros: -This case is massive. It has room for everything. -It looks great. -Built-in LEDs are nice with front, internal, both or none and several shades of each colour in the visible spectrum. Not as advanced as NZXT's 5.25" Hue system, but still quite the nice touch. -Has 4 fan controllers with 3 fans per controller, all neatly fitted to the top. -Plenty of cooling power with all the fan space, and a nice option for a 360mm radiator on the top. Plenty of room for push-pull. If you use a smaller 5.25" device for the top bay, you don't lose it. I have the Hue in my top bay and it fits fine with my ODD in the second bay. -Easily removable dust filters in the front and back are a nice touch. -Two front USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0 for lots of portable devices -Loads of cutouts for cables and lots of room for a big PSU -Crazy amount of space behind the motherboard for cable routing -The pedestal gives it a good lift off the ground for increased airflow, and looks awesome -Adjustable rear fan position is nice if you're not using a big radiator at the top. -Overall a great case

Cons: There are some cons despite being so awesome. -The amount of cables in the back is crazy. It's a real pain to sort through when they're all ziptied in the most inconvenient places. I suppose if you really wanted to, you could remove all the fan controller cables to clean it up a bit. -The fan controller is 3-pin only, so you can't fit your PWM fans into it if you need to. -With so many front USB ports, you need two USB 2.0 headers, and the card reader takes a third. I didn't have enough headers to power the reader. Good thing I don't use it. -The hard drive trays are not firm. They're quite flimsy without a drive in them. If you throw a 2.5" drive in them, they don't lock into place and they're a real pain. -Although the bottom two bays are easily removable, the rail they sit on is not so simple, so to utilize the second 140mm fan spot on the bottom, you have to get the tools out and remove the drive bay rail. -The pivot slot is mounted with long screws that enter the fan's space, so if your 140mm fan has solid corners rather than being open, it won't fit. Using screws to hold your fan in place may not work either, depending on length. -Includes an individually sleeved 8-pin CPU cable. It's shorter than the distance between the PSU and the slot on the motherboard in most cases. Pointless.

Overall Review: Despite all the cons, I can't really take away an egg. This case is fantastic regardless. In addition: -It would have been nice to have one or two SSD mounts behind the motherboard like the Phantom 630 has, since the drive trays aren't good for 2.5" drives. -The little cover for the front USB ports doesn't actually attach. It just sits there, and it's a piece of rubber. Kind of a pointless design. Overall, I recommend this awesome case.

Pros: Fast boot, games load insanely quickly, file operations in large numbers and sizes are no problem.

Cons: Obviously the price per GB is higher than a standard mechanical drive, but that's to be expected, and can't really be considered a con.

Overall Review: I got two of these on sale for about $190 each. I find that a raid 0 array with two of these causes the system boot and general operation to run a little faster, but the bios takes about 5x longer to clear (which still isn't very long, but does add an extra 5-10 seconds to the overall boot time. It may be more of a benefit to use one 512 rather than two 256s. Unfortunately I expanded to a second one afterwards when I realized 256 just wasn't enough for me, and so I didn't think to get the 512 initially. Overall, if you're only using it for programs and OS, you're fine, but if you want to start throwing games on there (especially the newer, heavier ones that total well over 35 GB each), then you'll want to go with one of the higher capacity models. Definitely worth every nickel.

Received my product after waiting a good 3 weeks for them to even ship it out. It was in stock at the time.
