Pros: -Very sturdy. -No cheap plastic in this, all metal. Even the front panel. -Very simplistic. No frills, no extra "features", just a plain case.

Cons: -Doesn't come with fans. -The screw holes for said fans, and the power supply don't quite line up. A little work and you can get them in. More of an annoyance than anything. -The front panel cables are about twice as long as they need to be. -The real problem I have here, is that I received neither the fan header nor the IO shield shown in the pictures. The IO shield I guess I could live without, just cut down the stock one my board came with, but the fan header is a problem. I bought this case specifically because it it was shown with it. If I can't even get what is shown, I doubt I'll be buying anything from iStarUSA in the future.

Overall Review: An oversight on my part, but note the expansion slot is full length. I hoped it was low profile, but didn't pay any attention.

Pros: Case is small and fits into a rack nicely. Layout is plain which is good. No waste in space with separate bars that do nothing. This is entirely an open case to allow maximum air flow.

Cons: No fans! I am kind of shocked that there are no fans with this type of unit. I would of preferred iStar to include fans and just raise the price a little bit. They included a power bar for the fans, but NO fans. I can't even run the unit closed right now because I need to order fans.

Pros: Price was unbeatable for this case. Perfect size for my portable DAW build. Solid construction and machining.

Cons: The one I received is very different form the one pictured. Mine has NO side vents. This was a big deciding factor for me. and I am very disappointed they are non existent on my case. I can only hope that my system doesn't overheat and shut down in the middle of a record take. Not cool...I suppose I can just drill some holes in the side for ventilation... My mobo backplate doesn't fit, it will have to be trimmed down to fit. ..that was expected though. The PSU screw holes do not line up... just a little off... just enough to not allow a screw to pass. I will have to cut the chassis side wall with a dremel to get the PSU to fit properly... Huge oversight on the construction/fabrication team imo. Apparently I am not alone as several other posts have mentioned this issue.

Overall Review: Overall I am pleased with this case, but the cons are very annoying. Instead of just putting this build together I have to think about how to fabricate it to fit my parts. The inaccurate picture on the add here is very misleading. Had I seen what I was getting I would have chosen another 1RU case. I should have taken more eggs away for this. but I still like that case and the work around aren't that big of a deal to a repair tech DIY'r like myself.

Pros: Solidly constructed for the price, Made of steel an an aluminum front bezel. Big enough for my DC powered motherboard, network expansion card hard drive and I was also able to permanently mount my motherboards AC to DC power brick internally. Nicely finished good cosmetic exterior surface and generally well built for the price. the Captive screws for the top are very nice touch and I received them NOT overtightened like most manufacturers do. Full compliment of screws and bolts needed for the case are included

Cons: My biggest peeve with this case is the length of the USB header and control cabling. Very excessive for a case designed for a MINI ITX mobo. The fact that the 2 40 mm fans couldnt be included at this price is a little sad also, it would save so much time setting it up. The retention screw for the expansion card was very difficult to get put back in even with a magnetized screwdriver. Most of the cons are piddly details though especially when you factor in the price.

Overall Review: This case was ordered to build a new pfSense powered router. I have an ASUS AT3IONT-I Deluxe mobo,4 gigs of lo profile kingston value ram, Intel dual gigabit nic expansion card 500 gig 2.5 inch mechanical hard drive and still at this moment waiting for my 40mm fans. The case was even roomy enough that I was able to install my motherboard ac to dc power supply in the spot wher a regular iu power saupply would fit. It will be hanging from a vertical 2u wall mount rack along with my dell managed network switch. All in all a decent buy.

Pros: - nice slim chassis - great material.

Cons: - does not come with fans and fans controller as the picture showing. ( i know it doesn't say in the detail but they should show the real final product)

Pros: The unit is well laid out for the support of mini-itx mainboards, supporting both an expansion slot and at least one 2.5 inch hdd at the same time.

Cons: This units biggest failing is the same thing that plagues all 1U chassis. Until a new standard is developed for the IO shield, no 1U chassis will be able to support a standard IO shield. This makes it difficult to find a 1U chassis for such things as firewalls where the mainboard is really the most crucial element. For example, the jetway JNF99FL is ideal for firewalls, supporting up to 5 intel 10/100/1000 network interfaces without using the expansion slot.

Overall Review: Having a list of supported IO shields or the ability to purchase one offs at a reasonable price would sure be a help.

Pros: Solid construction. Overall easy to install. Supplied internal cables were long enough for practically any mini-ITX board.

Cons: Installing a disk drive will probably not be possible if you also use the expansion slot but the product specifications state this clearly so it was known before purchase. Mainboard backplate would not fit even though my board came with two different backplates. The base was too close to the opening. Backplate opening specifications would have been useful.

Overall Review: Pay attention to your mainboard's layout if you want to attach one of those ribbon cable connected expansion slot ports (usually VGA or USB). If the pins you want are on the left of your board the ribbon cable will maybe not reach or interfere with your fan because the expansion slot is on the right. This was not a problem for me, just saying be sure to plan ahead.

Pros: - All metal construction. Yes, even the front bezel. Not flimsy or thin either - a very sturdy case.- Comes with plenty of hardware to mount most boards- Compatible with generic cut-it-yourself I/O shields and a good few vendor ones- Room to mount 2x40mm fans of your choice- Great price point all things considered!

Cons: - The product image on NewEgg is wrong. Maybe this is what's got people bashing this because it's not as expected. - Does not have the rear side fan vents as pictured, only the small front ones.- The PSU mount holes (well... fingers really) were a little annoying to work with but not worth taking an egg off at this price.

Overall Review: - Front panel cable a little long, but not hard to modify or build your own cables since it just terminates in a 2.54mm pitch male connector that you can jumper as needed. - Included board mounting screws have GINORMOUS heads and on some mITX boards you might run into problems. I had to dig in my stash of case screws to find some that were more appropriate for my specific board.
