Great Case

-Sexy looking case
-fan controller w/ led control
-dust filters
-bubbled side panels for better cable management
-good cooling and room for more

-HD activity light is pretty bright for my liking
-difficult to remove top panel but easier (looser) after the first time
-took a little time to figure out the connections for the fan controller

For those who are confused about the fan controller not working: after about 5 minutes of staring at the connections, there's a 4-pin molex that is seperate from the others for the fan power, which is the power for the fan controller. Glad to help :)

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Nice Case but the Front Panel Issue is for Real

This is a great looking case for my gaming rig. I also purchased the side window panel for it from the manufacturer.

The front panel problem described by other reviewers is very real and occurs constantly. I found these reviews while trying to troubleshoot the problem myself. I had been attributing this to an issue with the USB ports on the front panel, but as another reviewer notes, I just duplicated the problem by simply touching the front panel with my finger. Any contact with the front panel can result in reboot of the PC.

I will be replacing this case ASAP to avoid damaging other parts of my gaming PC. I regret my purchase of this otherwise nice case. My previous experiences with Cooler Master cases have been very good, and this is a big disappointment.
