This case is exactly what I was looking for. It is Huge, it has EXCELLENT air flow, and it is a decent price. It performs as expected, and looks really great. I have purchased about 45 items from Newegg, and this is one of the best items so far. It runs cool; Great side fan; Enormous SIZE; no door flaps!!!, …And as for room for the 8800 GTX SLI? …SO MUCH ROOM that you will only need 2-3 fans (including the stock ones)… I looked at Cooler Master and tons of other cases before getting this one. I am sooooooooo glad I got it. Price+space+ergonomics+well built=Best Value… This case is no louder than my X-Cruiser, which had 4 fans and did not keep my CPU and graphics card cool. Also, my 8800 was actually touching one of the hard drives in the old case. Not good. In this one, free space abounds… The structure of the case is second to none. Sure, there are steel parts, but it is 100% quality, and I don’t plan on moving it around(not for LAN party movers I guess!).
Tedious to take the front off and clean the foam air filters, if you don't want to blow them out with compressed air. One more PRO: USB and eSATA connections on top, not the side! A lot more PROS than CONS, for me...
Current: Enermax Uber Chakra case, OCZ Gamestream 600W, E6600@3.38Ghz, EVGA nForce 680i LT, 2GB Mushkin DDR2 800, 8800 GTS Superclocked @630/1820, SATA Samsung 500(x1)/WD 250(x2), SATA DVD+-RW(x2)
Is a very spacious case with great air flow. Cool LED lights and is loaded with fans. Screwless design is good. Lots of drive bays. Controllable fans. Easily accessible ON/OFF and Reset switches as well as an esata port and 2 usb ports not to mention a headphone port and mic port. Very good for multi player games.
I bought this for my very first build. Thinking that It was a snag at 90$ for a full tower atx case. I was partially right. It was very difficult to figure drive bays out I ended up slamming my hard drive around the case for a while trying to figure where it fit (the instructions are absolutely terrible). And the rails for the optical drive are short by 1/35 of a cm (an exaggeration) and I had to cram the the rail in, before I had gone through easily seven of the things (the rails break easy). And I don't know if this is this way for all cases but the way the psu fits in is very difficult, it involves a seperate plate which you have to screw to your psu and then to the case itself and if feels flimsy and weak.
Overall this was a bad way to start my first build
Cool case. Looks nice with all my parts. And for a full tower case doesn't take up much room. But still be prepared for it.
Overall you may want to shop around, but if your bargain hunting this is the case for you.
