ENERMAX Staray ECA3170-BL Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with 1 Apollish Blue LED Fan and Mesh Front

Pros: Typical case, enough room. I really like the large fan it comes with. I purchased 3 other 120mm fans, since cooling is key. I was going for something that wasn't gawdy, but still had some style. This case fit the bill very well. I'm satisfied with the sturdiness, for the price. Installation was easy. I didn't have any cuts from the case, but you should beware anyway, there's always a potential. Install your HDD and Optical drives before your motherboard or video card. Make sure you have a 90 degree SATA connector or two, if you have a large video card. It will make connecting your drives much easier.

Cons: One of the tool free screws keeping the side panel, with the air vents, on the case was poorly machined. Doesn't screw in very well. Not enough of a problem to warrant an egg deduction.

Overall Review: You can turn off the light on the front! With the 4 120mm fans I put on the case it's loud, but it doesn't bother me, since it's nice and cool. Probably overkill, but I can tell my friends I did it because I could. It's a standard sized case at a fair price. And it looks nice. So if you're looking for a subdued option in contrast to the bright lights and gawdiness of many of todays towers, yet still want some style, this makes for an excellent option. Be sure to buy a 2nd 120mm fan to screw onto the back to blow air OUT of the case.

Pros: This case looks very nice out of the box. I had zero problems mounting the MB and the peripherals. Asus M4A79XTD-EVO G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL AMD Athon II X3 435 Ati Based 4350 video card Sony Optiarc Black CD/DVD rewritable drive Western Digital Caviar Black WD7501AALS 750GB Hard Drive Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit - Balmer edition Antec EarthWatts 430W PS It was a good price when I bought it because of the rebate and free shipping. Even without the rebate, doesn't cost $$$ like a lot of other cases. No problems receiving my rebate.

Cons: The 5 1/4 bays have only one hold down per side, where as the 3 1/2 bays have two hold downs per side. The power and reset buttons were on the sides, but the light on the LED fan was right in the middle next to the USB ports. My three year old likes to turn light on and off and on and off....

Overall Review: I understand that case builds have inherent risks of cuts, I was caught on the outer edge where the power supply is housed. Other than that, no real sharp edges. Yes I would recommend. I did not overclock my system, but I did add a rear 120mm fan just to keep it cooler. I thought of adding in side fans, but at this point it seems complete overkill

Pros: Quiet 120mm fan, fair price after rebate, sponge air filters

Cons: Fan only has 3 pins, somewhat flimsy panels, poor quality control, mail-in rebate very annoying

Overall Review: I got this case for a fair price after rebate. It did have a couple quality control related defects, but not worth the trouble of returning it. I was surprised how quiet the built-in fan was even at full speed. My Intel DH67GD mobo automatically controls the seed, making it even quieter, although the LED lights don't work at the lower voltages.

Pros: My boy loves the blue light and what he calls disco mode :) The price was right and he wanted it, so I gave it a whirl. It's actually a much nicer case than I expected. I don't know who enermax is, but they make some nice lookin gear and all the buttons travel solidly. I love the screwless drive trays. They hold a drive solidly in place.

Cons: I like a hole on the other side of the fan on the cpu tray.

Overall Review: What will I do when disco mode gets worn out?

Pros: Nice for the price I got it for 28.99 after rebate good looking, cools well, I like the set up, But

Cons: I think the filters restrict the air to much for lower rpm fans, so get higher RPM fans or take the filters out.

Overall Review: I just got this for an older build, wanted new case to see If I could lower temps a little better. Did not. I am going to get 4 higher rpm fans though to see if that makes a differance in cooling, it should but will have to put up with allot of noise. I do think the filters restrict the air flow, I like the thought of them keeping the case less dirty for less cleaning, but you need the air flow. I am going to take them out and see the differance Will post later

Pros: If you get all of your documentation I'm sure that this is a worthwhile case for the $20-$30 it is after rebate. Good construction, feels very solid and cool with parts installed.

Cons: Packaging, doubts about the side-mesh, button placements.

Overall Review: I purchased this case to set up a low-budget gaming rig. As such, I purchased it specifically prior to January 1 in order to receive the-then $29.99 rebate. Lo and behold, as I whisk this box up to my apartment I find out that there is no rebate form or even an invoice to verify that it was supposed to come to me. Newegg has switched its rebate form to one that doesn't accomodate my unit (even though it should be covered under the prior rebate), and Enermax's online services show nothing of this former rebate that I relied upon in purchasing the case. That being said, it puts me $30 over budget and honestly I'm questioning why I didn't go with an Antec 200 or even a cheaper but reasonable Rosewill Case.

Pros: Great venting and looks to it. I like the dust filters to since our house is dusty. I also added three more older Enermax fans to the case. I also put some Silverstone Aeroslots in the expansion slots to help it cool better. I noticed a big drop it my temps with this case. I saw a big drop on my 9800GT. It went from running 78 to 80 degrees Celius to 62 to 70 dregrees Celius. Now that is a good thing. I also noticed a 3 to 5 degree drop in hard drive and CPU temps to. So all in all this is a good case.

Cons: Kinda flimsy sides on the case and the paint job ain't the greatest in the world. It scratches real easy. But I won't knock off an egg for that.

Overall Review: I can't wait to see how well a 5750 will fit in this thing. I will due a repost when I buy my 5750 to tell yall if they fit in this case or not.

Pros: Nice looking case, does the job. Used it for my HTPC. Was a great price with rebate.

Cons: My rebate was denied becasue they did not accept the UPC label that was on the outside of the box. It was the only label that was available and contained the serial number as required. I am in the process of trying to rectify this.

Overall Review: I am going to give this procuct 5 stars because it does the job for the price. However if you purchase this product because of a rebate factor that you might not get it into the price.
