Raidmax Altas

-Design/look
-Black interior
-Tool less drive bays
-Decent cable management
-Removable fan filters on front drive bay doors and bottom mounted PSU. Non-removable fan filter on front fan.
-Large hole on motherboard tray to reach CPU cooler back plate
-Very roomy

-Power light is SUPER bright
-Top mounted I/O panel (I like mine to be on the front of the case so the hanging wires don't interfere with my DVD drive. Also my audio and microphone jack came broken)
-No hole on motherboard tray for CPU power plug
-Drive Bay doors difficult to remove even with neat looking clips
-Because of front fan, your HDD's are going to stick out a good 2" causing you to lose space for larger graphic cards
-Overall this case feels a little flimsy

Pretty big case for a mid size. Nice discrete front blue LED fan. Cool side mesh window, but it's not meant to be looked through. Because of the side mesh window's viewing angle, you can only see the inside of your case when you're directly in front of the window. Good airflow (especially if you plan on putting a 180mm fan on the side). Plenty of room for larger graphic cards, from the back of the case to the back of the HDD enclosure measures 12".

I removed one egg because of the broken audio and microphone jacks. Other then that and the other cons, this is a great case for the price I paid (49.99+9.99 S/H).

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
10.25" Max VGA Length - Decent Budget Case, but there are better options.

Good budget case with many features and plenty of room for the build. Good cable routing options. Plenty of room behind the motherboard for routing. Tool-less design probably not the highest quality but it works. Good cooling options with plenty of room for CLC coolers on top. Overall decent quality and good looks.

A few things. (1) Only one fan included. It's not apparent from the pictures, but it's something I noticed in the specs before purchase, so I'm not knocking an egg off for this. Others should be aware that you'll want to purchase at least one additional fan - so figure that into your case price. Also, wish the front fan mount was >120mm to allow better intake cooling - there is certainly room.
(2) The front cover is difficult to remove (4 difficult to reach hidden screws), which you need to remove to install the front fan.
(3) Finally, and this was almost a FAIL for us, the specs don't indicate the maximum graphics card length for this case (neither on Newegg nor on manufacturer website). So, I took a chance based on the overall case length. Our 10.5" 7970 almost did not fit. It's butting up against the HDD cage, which is riveted in. Really, 10.25" is the max card length you'll be safe with (or less if power connectors are in the rear). We have the 10.5" 7970 crammed in there pretty tight, but it's working.
