Fantastic Case!

This is a fantastic case. I took a chance on it since it had no reviews at the time, but I couldn't be more pleased. The construction is top notch. It's very light, but very solid. Cable management was a breeze with the removable back panel. I love the compartment at the bottom for the PSU and drive bays. It really helps the case keep a clean look and it means you can hide practically all of the wiring. It also helps insulate the heat of the PSU from the rest of the components. This case comes with 5 fans, and they are whisper quiet (on the low setting). Even on the high setting, they are not that loud at all. The removable dust filter on the top and bottom are a nice touch and can be removed easily for cleaning. Installation in this case was a breeze. Everything fit perfectly and feels extremely solid. I would absolutely recommend this case.

It took a bit of work (and a few zip ties) to get the component cables from the PSU flat enough to install the back of the case. Depending on how you run everything, it can be a tight fit back there. It wasn't hard to do, just know that you'll need to manipulate the layout a bit. If you wiggle the wires for the fan speed controllers up near the switch, you can see the switches move around, so they don't seem to be seated very well. Once I had those wires run where I wanted them though, they don't feel like they're going to break or anything, but I do wish the switches were attached to the panel more securely. The thumb screws for the side panels (4 total) feel like the only part DIYPC cheaped out on. The grip is plastic, molded around the metal screw. I would have preferred the thumb screws to be a solid metal design. I don't know if this is a con, but I would have loved the option for a window in the side panel, the interior of this case made for a beautiful build and I'd love to show it off, but it's a solid panel design.

Overall, I am extremely pleased with this case. Everything lined up perfectly. Cable management was a breeze and looks fantastic. The fans are whisper quiet, and the built in fan speed controllers are a nice addition. Plenty or room inside for whatever components you're installing. Very solid, strong construction. This is a 5 star case at a very low price (I paid $48). I definitely recommend this case.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Great Case, Not for E-ATX

Great case for the price, feels solid, lots of placement and cable management options.

Description says it fits an E-ATX motherboard but that's only true in the very loosest sense. I was unable to securely attach the motherboard because the holes for screws were either poorly drilled or nonexistent. Also, there is no space left for any optical drives.

It is actually a pretty good case if your motherboard isn't a giant monster. Sadly, mine is.
