TOP FAVORABLE REVIEW
Sexy case, However!

Great look
Build Quality is pretty good
Lots of customization options
Feels like a larger Midi case

Doesn't have plugins that connect with older motherboards

My motherboard is about 2 years old, yes i am upgrading. However because of this, the motherboard isn't exactly supported with the f-panel selections that the Challenger has.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Awesome case, with a few quirks

-Most of the case is perfectly built
-USB ports in acceptable locations
-Love the foam mesh behind the front panel
-Lots of locations for fans.

-Front panel can be easily taken off
-Red power button cover looks very cheap
-Internal case width is a problem for side fan and large cpu heat sink

In most ATX cases you can mount a full size heatsink and side fan. This case is barely big enough for the heatsink alone. Xigmatek can correct the issue by redesigning the case so the motherboard mounts are a few inches higher.
