Excellent for the price

Price, ability to remove face plate and both side plates without any additional tools, very handsome looking case and exceptionally made considering the price. Really had very few problems getting everything installed, exactly what I expected.

Back component plates are really just perforated metal and once punched out cannot be re-secured, which resulted in a holey situation when I misjudged the slots my video card would occupy. Front plate can be removed so you can get an intake fan down in front of the hard drive bay, but it's so close together that I had to pry it apart with a screwdriver to get the fan in there. Didn't come with any adapters for smaller drives. Screws that came with the stock fan strip very easily.

All considering, I really like this case. It's worth the price if not a little more and overall it was very easy getting everything to go together. It's certainly bare bones, no frills or extras here; but it's a very decent case and a pretty one to boot. The interior is not painted, like some photos lead me to believe, but I'm actually okay with that. I'm sure I'll move on to another case eventually, but for now it was a good purchase.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Nice case for cheap

This is a nice case with plenty of space on the inside for components and the like. Good airflow once you take the front foam out and install a front fan. Looks nice.

When the case arrived 4 of the pegs from the front panel were already broken off which sucks, it's made of cheap plastic. There isn't much room on the back side for cable management so I had to run my 24-pin through the inside of the case. Also only two spots for fans, one front and one back.

Overall, I like this case but because of the cheap plastic of the front panel that broke off and the lack of space on the back for cable management plus only two fan spots, even though they work fine, I will only give it 3 stars.
