LIAN LI Lancool First Knight Series PC-K57W Black SECC / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Picked this case up for $55 shipped a few months back. It's a good case for the money. Cable management is good when combined with a modular power supply. Construction is solid for a case that's pop-riveted together. 3 months of use and no rattles yet.

Cons: You will experience some installation difficulties when using the Corsair Hydro series liquid cooling. The 120mm radiator will make contact with one of the rivets on the case. The power/reset buttons can be difficult to locate due to their position, but easily fixed with a bit of white model paint applied to the recessed markers on the button faces.

Overall Review: The power/HD activity LED's colors can bleed into each other creating an odd looking purple color, but easily fixed by glueing a small "divider" between the LED's. (I used a an old drive jumper for mine) Overall a very solid case. I'm just annoyed at times by the little things. (I'm a bit OCD'd)

Pros: Looks great. Comes with quiet fans.

Cons: You have to hook up the front USB 3.0 through a back connection via USB 3.0 cord, which it does not come with.

Front usb connections died rather quickly.

Don't plan to use the front headphone/mic connections. For whatever reason, they will not take the standard size. For what it's worth I don't think there is a size that will fit it. It feels more like a faulty design

Overall Review: I really like how this case looks, and I ignored the reviews in which people had the same problems I am having. That's my fault. Can't use front audio/mic ports. Sometimes I can Jimmy-rig it to work, but the plugs seem to slip out eventually anyway.

front usb ports stopped working. Nothing more to be said.

Anyway, the inside of the case is laid out nicely, plenty of room. That said, this case feels like a full tower almost. It's only slightly smaller than my old full tower, so don't expect it to be moving it around easily.

Having had it since last year, it's an alright case. However, I wished I would've taken better reviews over looks.
