Great Case for the price!

-SSD Mounts for front and back.
-Lower part of window is tinted to cover up power supply and components.
-Easily rearrange your hdd/ssd mountings.

-Top air filter is very hard to clean. (taking 4 screws off every time) when you have a fan installed up top.

-Would highly recommend having 3 total fans for this case.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Borderline defective but not enough for me to send it back

It's a beautiful case, I've been using Cooler Master cases for a long time and I've never had an issue until now. It's packaged well, very organized and clean on the inside, the handles are wonderful, the hardware comes in a convient little box in the HD bay, I like what I see.

The first thing I notice upon removing the packaging foam around the box was the 2 screws in that back that hold the side panel on where bent downward. These screws are designed to be removed by hand but this was impossible with the angle of the bore and uneven threads, upon removing the screws it bored out the hole in the process, they still will thread in but won't lock in place. I can get a tap and die and fix this and replace it with a lag screw, or just leave them out since the door of the case is difficult to open anyways. Its now time to put in the studs that hold the motherboard up. Not a single one will thread in by hand, there seems to be a wall about 1.5 turns down on each one. I use a screw to tighten them down which works, but then the screw is too tight to remove without taking the stud with it. No matter how slow and easy I go, to get past the 'wall' I must make the screw too tight to remove once past. I'm now using plyers which is just destroying the black finish on them but I suppose no one will be seeing them anyways. Still its a real pain to thread these in with plyers, unfornately I don't have a socket that small.

I'll reccomend Cooler Master but I'm sort of on the war path about how long this simple part is taking. Maybe I just got the bad apple.
