Nice!

Well put-together case; plenty of room for drives, two big fans provide a fairly quiet, cool operating environment. It's roomy, so you shouldn't have any trouble with large video cards. LEDs on the side fan and front panel door are bright, but not overly so. Would buy again.

Fairly minor cons: one, the LED on the front is difficult to read if you're at any angle but dead on--so if it's on your floor and you're looking down, it's useless.

two, the clasps that hold PCI port shields/card interfaces locked into the back of the case are a touch flimsy--I broke one trying to unlock it. Just take it easy on them and you'll be fine.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW

-Fan control
-Temp gauge on front
-Sturdy
-IEEE 1394 plug

-No room behind motherboard for cable management
-Power LED too bright, HDD LED not bright enough
-No mounts for 2.5" drives
-No USB 3.0 support
-Power button behind front case; need to open door to startup computer.
-Power, reset, HDD LED and Power LED cables not long enough because they are directed through door.
-Supplied fans have molex connectors only with no adapters to plug directly to motherboad if preferred
-Not all of the LEDs worked on supplied fans
-Fan LEDs are too blue and don't match standard LED color schemes that most fans use.
-PCI holddown clips are cheap plastic and don't support a video card or accomodate screws well
-Drive slide clips do not hold drives well
-Can only read temp when looking straight on with case.
-Does not have vents in top or bottom

I bought this case because the temp gauge looked cool and seemed like a good value for the price, but was disappointed after assembling my rig. Ended up buying another case (Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-03 Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case), at near the same price but did not have any of the cons mentioned above.
