Well Designed Construction and Cooling

This shoebox style cases is solidly built, aesthetically designed, and uniquely laid out. You will find the upper deck swings upward towards the side once the outer shell is removed, allowing excellent access to the motherboard. There is a 120mm fan in front, and positions for three 80mm fans in back. Another 60mm fan can be mounted inside the front. That gives you a lot of options and some of the best cooling on the market. Additionally, there are four front USB ports, and audio ports. The LCD is large for this pricepoint. And the feet are very good quality.

It requires five screws to secure the back, and no thumbscrews or latches are included. There is no handle. Moreover, a shoebox style case should be either large and accomadate ATX boards OR be small.

Please note the dimensions of this case are large for this style: 11.625" wide X 15" deep X 9.75" tall. It would be excellent in a media center or a recording studio.

Nice looking case.....I do like it on my TV center stand,after a few problems with the build. Everything fit well , I used a OCZ stealth X stream 500 W. As others have said.........watch the depth of your PS , 140 mm at the most. Even at that its close. The case is well packaged no damage coming from CA to VT.

I like the two levels, upper deck and lower deck. But as somebody else said with the upper deck opened, be careful because the case has a tendency to tip over. The stealth drives suck.........I spent the better part of 2 hours trying to get the drives open with the buttons on the front panel. I have 2 LiteOn drives and the buttons on the case need to be tweeked to open the drives.

After much time tweeking on some quality control issues that AeroCool should have done before allowing this case to the public, I do like it. But 1st time builders should stay away from this case.
