Pros: The tower meets everything I wanted and then some. Large enough to have the side 120/140mm fans directly next to my N550-Ti Cyclone 2 cooler with space to spare. Bottom mounted PSU with a minor, but better than none dust filter. Cable Management. I have a Corsair Builder series V2 500w PSU so I don't have modular cabled but they all fit behind in the nice cable compartment.
Cons: The 2 stock fans are running as 3 pins, so due to my motherboard only having a single 3-pin header, I could only use 1. With 7 120/140 mm fans, it can get a little loud, but it above all else, will keep the entire case at bottom rates.
Overall Review: Rig: AMD Phenom 2 X4 3.2 Ghz Quad core processor MSI GTX N550-Ti Cyclone 2 VGA Corsair Builder 500 Series V2 500W PSU 6 Gigs 1,333Mhz RAM 1x 1TB HDD 1x 200G HDD RS880M05 Rev. 1.1 Motherboard from Acer The case fits the entire rig, love the tool-less mounting, although feels slightly unstable, even tho its completely solid. Sure, you can buy other cases like the HAF series and whatnot for the same price, but not all cases are alike. Case size is perfect size, not too big, not too small.
