Pros:
-Sleek design
-Silent gaming
-SSD and HDD mounts and trays built in
-PSU cover for added airflow
-Extremely modular
-Comes with two large fans
Cons: -A little large, would like a scaled down version with the same specification
Pros:
+ Quiet
+ Sturdy
+ Minimalist Style
+ All 3.5" bays are removable
+ Holds massive CPU radiator at front
+ Moderate size
+ Air filters
Cons:
- Front cover "grabs" edges of 5.25" optical drive; I can't keep the drive in while I pull the front off to clean the filter
- Some use of plastic components, such as clips for the front, provides mild concern of long-term reliability if I clean the filters often
- In general that the whole front cover has to be removed to clean that filter; the bottom one is sooo easy and nicely designed
Overall Review: I recommend this case.
Pros: Small, good layout. Fairley quiet. Thanks for the sound dampening on the side panels.
Cons:
At a hundred bucks, I did expect a little more premium feel than this. The front is plastic and I broke 2 of my clips taking it off to clean the dust filter. The clips on the front are plastic, and the holes they clip into on the chassis are thin metal, so I bent the metal and then broke the clip.
The top cover doesn't quite sit flush to the indention in the top.
Overall Review:
I wish it had a 140mm exhaust fan in the rear as well.
The basement idea is kinda shoddy, cheap plastic and fits in an odd manner. It is risky as there is almost zero space between the basement and the bottom of the motherboard (where thin, fragile headers are located) , and you have to flex and bend the plastic shroud in order to install it.
The SSD bracket seems bulky. It is a big piece of plastic that takes up a lot of room behind the motherboard tray, and is stiff. I would have liked a simpler screw-in solution (after all, why do I need quick release SSD trays behind the motherboard? Who changes their HDDs out that often?)
Mediocre case, I think its about $30 overpriced. Phanteks and Fractal make better cases at this price point with aluminum and more modularity.
Pros:
small
affordable
looks cool
Cons:
package arrived with a dent on side of the case
somewhat difficult to put side panel back, but manageable
despite this, i still give it 5 stars
Pros: Great design and engineering, ideal cable management, perfect for direct air flow and liquid cooling, easy build, silent, extremely sturdy and well built.
Cons: A little pricey
Overall Review: Price point a little on the high side but if you want this quality with its numerous practical features, it's not unreasonable.
Pros:
-space
-cable management
-premium features
- mobo screws into case itself
-direct air flow
Cons: -on the case that was shipped to me, one of the legs was shorter than the other 3 so it wobbles if you touch it, not a big deal but they got everything else right except the leg heights? why?
Overall Review: -recommended

Pros: At the time of purchase this was the smallest ATX case (that could fit a Noctua NH-D15) and that was designed with silence in mind.
-Fun to build in and dust filters so nice that after having this thing on for over 6 months the inside is still virtually spotless.
-The usb/headphone jack/power buttons are in a perfect location for my setup. I never thought I'd use my computer to charge things so much compared to the wall outlet.
Cons: -Of course, a month or two after I bought this Fractal Design came out with the Define C which seems to improve upon this case in every way. Ex: Higher quality, smaller, slightly better layout
-The SSD mounts look cool at first but after cracking the case open after 6 months one can see it's a really poor design. First, the springs push the SSD onto a cheap piece of plastic on one side of the slot that has already lost its shape so the SSD is just sitting in there which is no big deal but for $100, seriously. Second, the SSD mounts are facing up to where the power and SATA cables have to bend down and over in the tight space to go down to the power supply. They should be facing down, it's simply awkward otherwise.
-Looking back, I wish I would've invested in a case with more front usb ports or card readers. 2 is not enough anymore!
Overall Review: To conclude, it's not a bad case. It did its job and keeps the noise to a minimum there's just better options out there, at this price point especially.
