This review is from: Corsair Vengeance Series C70 Military Green Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros:
Very Spacious, Great HD cages that are removable, USB3, cool power & reset buttons, room for 9 fans total, no sharp edges, industrial strength all-steel construction (even the face), dust filters built in and easily removable for cleaning, plenty of room behind MB tray for cable routing + grommets on all cable routing holes. Room up top for a 240mm OR 280mm radiator. Handles on top for moving the case are super convenient, as are the latches that hold on the side panels. Definitely the easiest case to work on that I've ever used.
Cons:
Almost too many holes for all the fans. The power supply mounted in the bottom needs extra long cables to reach the auxiliary MB power connectors at the top of most MBs. One MB standoff was missing as many others have stated on Corsair forums, and they are taller than standard standoffs so I just left that one out of my build. Didn't seem to hurt anything... (so far!)
Overall Review:
I had to order an 8-pin extension to reach my MB's aux. power jack. I taped up the window grates with clear packing tape and it improved airflow from front to back/ bottom to top and also dropped noise levels noticeably. The steel feels solid and allows me to stick magnets to it. I put two 120 fans in the bottom, moved the included 120 plus added another 120 to the front panel instead of leaving them on the backs of the drive cages. That was an odd place for a fan IMO... The bottom line is this case is very flexible, well built, and oriented for builders and tinkerers. I love it.
