TOP FAVORABLE REVIEW
Best budget case in the history of budget cases. Period.

-incredible price
-tempered glass
-great liquid cooling options
-unique design
-good cooling capabilities if you set it up correctly
-best implementation of attaching the glass side panel (removes via a spring loaded button)
-captive thumb screws holds on the back panel
-comes in white and black AND a white with white interior option now
-easily accessible dust filter than simply slides out for cleaning
-front I/O and buttons light up
-includes adjustable bracket to prevent video card sag
-large case feet to elevate it off the surface it is sitting on
-beautiful solid front and top panels
-composed of thick metal which in turn gives it very good build quality
-screwdriver cutout for bottom most PCI bracket

-PSU mount holes do not line up correctly (could only get two of the four screws in)
-missing paint/ light spray in certain areas (not noticeable once your system is built)
-tough to access bottom connections on ATX motherboards while mounting fans in the bottom (I would recommend using this case with a Micro ATX board, although I do use it with a full size ATX board)
-no rubber grommets on cable pass-throughs
-top cable pass-through is too small (especially if you plan on running liquid cooling tubes through it as I have
-must buy an optional 3rd SSD bracket separately if you want to populate all three mounts (understandable at this price point)
-holes are not drilled for 140mm fans even though 140s would fit
-interesting choice of how to use your motherboard I/O shield- it just lays over the opening instead of snapping into place (can be very confusing for someone who is expecting to snap the shield into place like normal)
-very stiff mechanism to remove the glass panel (not necessarily a bad thing as it seems it will hopefully last)
-a few millimeters of space between the case and glass panel on both sides of the glass (can cause a dust issue)

All of the cons that I have listed are very minor grievances. Some of them are not necessarily bad things, but just worth mentioning to anyone thinking of buying this case. The pros very much outweigh the minuscule cons. I would recommend this case to ANYONE looking for a great looking budget case with a real tempered glass side panel. Again, keep in mind that while ATX boards are supported, you will have a hard time plugging into bottom connections with the bottom fans installed.

InWin did a great job with this case, and I am actually surprised at where they priced it. I would have paid over $100 for this case without question. I had one issue that InWin customer service handled immediately. I bought the optional 3rd SSD mount and it did not include a screw. I had posted on the forums asking if anyone else had encountered this problem as I wanted the screws to match since they are large black thumb screws. InWin actually sent me a PM on the forum, got my address, and shipped me a new mount with a screw. A+ service!

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Premium case for a not so premium price.

- Solid build with an all metal construction.
- Full tinted window with tempered glass.
- Tool-less set up apart from the brackets in the back.
- Beautiful, unique-looking case.

- Heavy when all set up.
- Having the psu on top means you probably shouldn't put a radiator any larger than 240mm as any larger can block air from it.
- Air circulation will become an issue during hot summer months as you are limited in ventilation.
- Fan or radiator set up at the bottom could be an issue with a full atx motherboard.
- They did not include rubber grommets for a full-windowed case.

All in all it is a very solid, unique case and a beautiful at that for the price. Although I like this case, its cons could make others to turn around and look for other options.
