GIGABYTE GZ-X2BPD-500 Black 0.6mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: The case has thumbscrews on the panels, and a easy-release tab for the expansion cards. Almost all the metal inside is rolled, so it shouldn't cut you. There are mounts in front of the hard drive bay to install a 120mm fan. Side panel has a vent for CPU fan intake/exhaust.

Cons: Lightweight metal, all drives are directly mounted into the case, no drive rails. No firewire front cable, but there is a plastic punchout if you have a cable and feel a little modding.

Overall Review: Hey, the case is under 40 bucks. It's a matte finish on the paint. You're not going to get an Antec. All in all, it makes a nice inexpensive (maybe a little cheap, but not too bad) case for a business client, second box, computer for mom, or whatever. It's not going to win any major awards, but it will get the job done.

Pros: fits 200 series video cards without problem.

Cons: I have built many computers and never ran into a case that actually caused the system to shut off. It started with losing signal to my monitor. I went through everything trying to troubleshoot. I tried different monitor,video card, powersupply,memory, motherboard. Nothing fixed it. Then I thought it must be case front panel leads. Yep. All I did was connect power switch leads and computer has not gone down. There must be a short with reset leads.

Overall Review: Another negative with case is if you have a atx motherboard. The 3.5 install bays are cramped with motherboard. A micro atx board would fit better. Make sure you install hard drive first and then mobo with atx board.
