Cold as Ice!

Very very cold temps over the entire motherboard. The two 120mm fans in the back make sure there is no lingering heat within your case.

Clips for drives take a little skill to put on, if your not careful, they will break!

Overall, my system temps all together dropped by at least 15 degrees. I am very, VERY satisfied with this purchase.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Not bad for the price, but I opted for something better.

It's big.
It's aluminum.
Great ventilation.
Looks cool and the blue lighting goes great with it.
Easy to mount hard drives and DVD drives.
Did I say it's huge?
Low price (I paid $70)

*Power supply goes up top instead of on the bottom. Also, makes it more difficult to hide wires.

*I bought a Corsair H100 water cooler to go in here and it's supposed to fit any case that uses 2x 120mm fans (like this one has on the rear), but due to a structural bar design there is 1/4" too little space for it to fit.

*Lack of cable management makes it very difficult to have a clean look.

*Apevia light on the front sometimes doesn't turn on.

*The side window panel is pretty flimsy and the handle is not necessary, but if you're like me and don't go in your case on a regular basis it shouldn't really matter.

* Cheap material for outside shell and the top USB inputs. If you press it with your finger it flexes.

*Cheap feel to it in general.

I'm coming from a CoolerMaster Storm Scout, which has become too small for my needs and wants. I bought it on sale for roughly the same price as this Apevia case, but there is a HUGE and NOTICEABLE difference in quality. This isn't a bad case, but it wasn't what I was looking for. I saw the original price of $160 and it was on sale for $70, so I was expecting $160 quality and $70 price. No, you get budget quality. If you only have $75 to spend on a case and want a full tower, this case might work for you and be deserving of five-stars based on your needs.

In conclusion, this is a good case for the price. It's unfair to judge this case too harshly because my expectations were unrealistic. It was naive of me to think I might get a Lian Li quality case at this low price. I would rather spend twice as much and get something I really like.
