This review is from: TOPOWER TP-1687BB-400 Black SECC 0.8mm Micro ATX Desktop Computer Case 400W SFX Power Supply
Pros:
Well made case for the most part. Tolerances are good and the materials seem decent, switches seem solid and there are not many rough edges on the inside. Overall it is a pretty elegant design from the outside.
Cons:
Power supply died after about a week. Usually RMA through newegg is easy and with shoprunner free but the return shipping was around $26 :/
I've worked with plenty of smaller cases and they usually aren't bad to assemble. This one sticks the optical bay in line with the 24 pin power cable, RAM and cpu on an ATX board which means that there are an awful lot of wires in one little area and right next to the cpu fan which is about the last place you want such a CF.
Overall Review:
If you aren't going to bother with an optical drive than it is a great case (aside from the PSU but that may be a fluke). The bracket for the optical bay and floppy bay (?) unscrew and can be tossed aside to leave plenty of room.
