Great Case

Great airflow! And I mean great! My old custom case was a death trap compared to this. The perforated front panel combined with the 80mm intake and the 120 outake fan is more than enough to keep this spacious case cool. My temperatures on almost all my components dropped almost 20 degrees! I also replaced the coolermaster fans they offered (which I bet are good too) with Apevia 120 and 80mm Red LED fans, after I get some cathodes my case will be a rich red color. its great! The looks are simple yet elegant, and with my Red LEDs going its looks darn sexy.

Basically none. Only two I can think of are that there is really no removabel motherboard tray (and this might not even be a con) and maybe that the front panel is somewhat tough to get out, but really all you need is a little muscle (Im starting to get concerned about the body build of the geek race as I read these reviews). Basically flawless in design and the size that others have mentioned as a con is really a big plus, better airflow and less cramped components.

Buy it if you need a nice case with good air flow! Dont hesitate!

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Year and a half later.

Relatively sturdy. Ok air flow. Slick tool less design. Looks alright with plenty of pretty lights. Switch's, power light, and hdd light still working great. 260 gtx's fit i guess.

No cable management. Depending on motherboard, one 260 gtx size card will likely block off 2 hard drive slots and 2 260 gtx's will block them all off. I had to drop down to 1 hdd when i went sli and mount it in the external floppy slot. The front bezel filters get dirty quick and are almost impossible to clean. Motherboard didn't line up perfectly with flimsy back of case. 80mm front fan is mostly useless and really needs to be a 120mm.

I replaced both fans with antec blue 3 speed fans and removed all the filter material off the front grills. I have to wipe down the front of the case once a week and blow out the case every month or two but thats the price you have to pay to stay cool i suppose. I wish the side window covered the front slots....looks kinda tacky. Not recommended for sli users or people who may need more than 2 hdd's. Seems to keep my setup cool for the most part, but it could be better. An average case overall.
