ENERMAX Uber Chakra ECA5001B Black Aluminum / Steel Trim w/250mm Intake/Exhaust LED Monster Fan ATX Full Tower Case w/Front I/O 1 eSATA, 4 USB2.0, Audio I/O

Pros: This case is exactly what I was looking for. It is Huge, it has EXCELLENT air flow, and it is a decent price. It performs as expected, and looks really great. I have purchased about 45 items from Newegg, and this is one of the best items so far. It runs cool; Great side fan; Enormous SIZE; no door flaps!!!, …And as for room for the 8800 GTX SLI? …SO MUCH ROOM that you will only need 2-3 fans (including the stock ones)… I looked at Cooler Master and tons of other cases before getting this one. I am sooooooooo glad I got it. Price+space+ergonomics+well built=Best Value… This case is no louder than my X-Cruiser, which had 4 fans and did not keep my CPU and graphics card cool. Also, my 8800 was actually touching one of the hard drives in the old case. Not good. In this one, free space abounds… The structure of the case is second to none. Sure, there are steel parts, but it is 100% quality, and I don’t plan on moving it around(not for LAN party movers I guess!).

Cons: Tedious to take the front off and clean the foam air filters, if you don't want to blow them out with compressed air. One more PRO: USB and eSATA connections on top, not the side! A lot more PROS than CONS, for me...

Overall Review: Current: Enermax Uber Chakra case, OCZ Gamestream 600W, E6600@3.38Ghz, EVGA nForce 680i LT, 2GB Mushkin DDR2 800, 8800 GTS Superclocked @630/1820, SATA Samsung 500(x1)/WD 250(x2), SATA DVD+-RW(x2)

Pros: This is a very nice case. Lots of air flow, screwless drive installation, large, switches\ports\lights in front TOP of case(great if you have your case on the floor). This case is large so you will most likely want ot put it on the floor.

Cons: Due to the large 250mm door fan many tower coolers may not fit. I used a cooler that installs parallel to the motherboard.

Pros: One of the roomiest, and easy to use PC towers i have ever dealt with. Side fan being 240mm is a major plus, especially with dual direction airflow.

Cons: No 120mm rear fan?

Overall Review: I've been building computers for a few years now. This is my second personal build with this tower, and since owning it the first time refuse to divulge into any other towers other than this, perhaps if they had different LED colors for different people that would make it a nice feature. Other than that, one of the best Towers i have ever seen!

Pros: Huge, will fit anything you need

Cons: none, really

Overall Review: This case looks great and is massive, glad I got this one

Pros: - Superb Cooling (added extra fan just to keep it super cool) - Quiet with all fans running - the light on big 25cm fan can be turned off by button - airflow direction can be changed on 25cm fan by switch - no doors to break - Case has retractable feet - Very strong material - side comes off easily - TONS of space!!! - Easy access to 3.5" HDDs - screw-less mount mostly a plus!

Cons: Besides weighing a ton... the only real con was that the screw-less mount system doesn't work well with my 3.5" SD card reader... but after some ingenuity I got it to work. not worth docking an egg...

Overall Review: If you dont like the fan light in front you can replace that fan too, the one fan light on side of case is more than enough and can be turned off! AMD 6400+ (x64 x2 @ 3.2Ghz each), ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe, WD Black 500GB HDD (x2), GTS 8800, 4GB Gskill DDR 800, 700W PSU, DVD +- RW (x2)... even a floppy drive for those once in a blue moon times you may need one...

Pros: Is a very spacious case with great air flow. Cool LED lights and is loaded with fans. Screwless design is good. Lots of drive bays. Controllable fans. Easily accessible ON/OFF and Reset switches as well as an esata port and 2 usb ports not to mention a headphone port and mic port. Very good for multi player games.

Cons: I bought this for my very first build. Thinking that It was a snag at 90$ for a full tower atx case. I was partially right. It was very difficult to figure drive bays out I ended up slamming my hard drive around the case for a while trying to figure where it fit (the instructions are absolutely terrible). And the rails for the optical drive are short by 1/35 of a cm (an exaggeration) and I had to cram the the rail in, before I had gone through easily seven of the things (the rails break easy). And I don't know if this is this way for all cases but the way the psu fits in is very difficult, it involves a seperate plate which you have to screw to your psu and then to the case itself and if feels flimsy and weak. Overall this was a bad way to start my first build

Overall Review: Cool case. Looks nice with all my parts. And for a full tower case doesn't take up much room. But still be prepared for it. Overall you may want to shop around, but if your bargain hunting this is the case for you.

Pros: - Incredibly spacious! No problems having to stuff components in between each other here. There is ample room for a lot of stuff with enough surplus space for superb airflow to keep things cool. - The top-mounted power/reset buttons, USB ports, audio jacks and eSata port are very convenient. - I can't scientifically comment on its effectiveness, but the side-mounted 25cm fan SEEMS to do its job pretty well, and it's an appreciated touch. Even if it's not highly effective, given a choice between a B-rate 25cm fan & a basic metal panel with a few drilled vent holes, I'll take the fan every time. Also, it looks fairly cool. - The fan's easy "in or out" switch and toggled LED are nice for anyone who appreciates given freedom to choose their preferences. - Very stable, even without the pull-out feet (though even moreso with them) and not as heavy as you might guess. - Mine came with 6 of the 9 standoffs I needed already installed. :-D

Cons: - No third fan for the back of the case? Okay, I suppose. . . - The tool-less locking mechanism for the expansion slots doesn't fit my video card (Radeon HD 4890), so I had to screw the video and sound cards in place. Not terribly tough, but. . . - Maybe partly due to that fact, the stock covers for unused expansion slots will not go back into place securely. I had to jimmy my sound card around a bit to make it fit comfortably, and so I had to remove/replace some of the covers, and none of them stay put like the ones I never touched.

Overall Review: I used this case w/ the Asus M4A78T-E Mobo for a gaming machine. I only used two optical drives and two hard drives, so I wasn't pushing the capacity of the case to its limit. So far, between the pre-installed front and side fans and the 12cm rear fan I installed, the rig has done a good job staying cool. However, I have done nothing in terms of overclocking or really taxing the cooling setup, so I can't really testify if they can keep a tower cool under higher strain.

Pros: I was not disappointed when I needed an SSI EEB-spec case for my dual Xeon motherboard. It holds all of my drives, has plenty of crevices and crannies for me to run wiring, and lets the air flow smoothly through the case. It's large and roomy enough that one front and one rear 120mm fan should adequately keep my Xeons ~30-35C without too many complications. In fact, it's large enough that it almost dwarfs the EEB-spec (12x13") motherboard inside of it. The accessories that came with it were first-rate. I hadn't realized that I'd run out of my own supplies of screws and standoffs until I went to put the extra ones that came with it away (and there were five extras, even after using every EEB-spec screw hole and standoff!). The case also came with enough drive rails to fit in every single drive bay. Clearly, Enermax actually cares enough to ensure we can use the whole case. The final nice item was the way that you secure PCI cards into the backplane. Quick, easy, painless.

Cons: The huge and bright 250mm side fan does not seem to move much air, but that could be just me. I like that I can turn off the LED lighting on it, though it would have been nice to have that feature for the front fan as well. The fan direction switch is a little loose as well, but it's running just fine. The only other possible nitpick was that while it supports EEB-spec motherboards, be sure to have the backing plate (adapter) for your heat sink assemblies, otherwise the heat sinks will not screw into this case (a la Nocona). A 1U's separate sink back plate works fine, in mine with clearance to spare.

Overall Review: If you luck into a nice dual Xeon motherboard and need a case, this one is worthy of consideration instead of paying higher prices for less interesting plain-jane cases.
