Pros: This case is one of the most solid cases I have ever received. The outside of the case is really attractive and solid. The two latches are the push and then fall open type. The portion where you open to get to the inside is fairly rigid and sturdy. The back is just as attractive and looks just as well made as the rest of the case. Has room for 4 HDD or 3 HDD and one SDD. 1 Optical Drive. Interior has room for the largest of Graphics Cards so really well designed. Room for four fans, all can be installed to the onboard fan controller that has two settings: fast and slow. The internal Hard Drives are easy to install and cable management appears to be simple. Pretty much everything appears to be well made except for the Hard Drive Hot. Installation will be a simple exercise. Room for double slot Graphics Card was suprising. More room than most Mid size Towers and soime full.

Cons: The Hard Drive Hot swap I can see getting broken fairly easy. Definatly not something you want just anybody to play around with. Once the Hard Drive is placed not to much of a worry but before that it's definatly a worry (I have kids). Not really idiot proof either. I can see many people just pulling on it and breaking it. Needs a simple sticker pointing to the bottom of it and a "Do Not Use Force Dumb A$$" sticker. The other issue is the actual hinge mechanism. These wear out kind of fast given much use. I'm already worried about it.

Overall Review: I haven't installed anything into it yet because I like to get the cases first before I pick out the rest of the equipment. My wife walked in and it was love at first sight. I'm kind of worried now so I'm keeping my eye on it and her. No way am I letting them drink together. All in all it's a very attractive case and well worth the money. I've been wanting this one since I first saw it and when I saw it on New Egg it was an instant buy. Same great New Egg service.

Pros: I just got this case unpacked and it is awesome. Build quality is top notch. Very roomy and should fit a full size graphics card with no issue. This is my favorite case out of the 10+ I have purchased over the years. I am an avid gamer and this case will be excellent for high end gaming machine and home theater media center.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: The Asus Crosshair III looks so sexy inside this beautiful case.

Pros: Sleek design, the 5.25” door covers are nice sleek way to keep the case looking good. The remote turns the computer on and off. You can configure the software to turn the computer on and off at specific times.

Cons: The optical shield has a button that after I attempted several times I finally got the shield button to align with the DVD drive button. Just make sure you screw all the optical screws in, then push the dvd drive as far forward as you can then slightly push it back a hair. Don’t screw in the large bolt that attaches the 5.25” rack to the front of the case. Doing that will cause the drive to be pushed too far forward which would cause the drive to open every time you turn the computer on. It says you can install a standard ATX motherboard, not really the 24 pin power cable then runs up against the back of the hot swap bay. Eventually I replaced the hot swap drive bay with a Thermaltake Max4 3.5" SATA HDD Rack which fit better with the standard ATX case.

Overall Review: If you want to install some optional 120”mm do it before you do anything otherwise you’ll be taking everything apart and starting all over. Also remove the 80”mm fans off the back first otherwise you might not get the motherboard installed. If you don’t have much patience don’t buy this or any HTPC case, they can be frustrating and take a lot of time to setup correctly.

Pros: Great Airflow. Fits ATX and Micro-ATX Motherboards. Power supply is on the opposite side of the Motherboard, Not right next to the Processor! Even though the hard drive mounting bracket was missing in my box, Zalman shipped it out to me extremely fast. Thanks Zalman RMA.

Cons: No built in card reader. Front Firewire would be nice for my Camcorder.

Pros: Very high quality media case, apart from the cons, everything is top notch.

Cons: The DVD drive eject button does not work with the drive I selected. Also I have not been able to get the front LCD to work yet.

Pros: Nice. Sturdy. Good airflow so far. Big. Bought it just in time before it was sold out on Newegg.

Cons: Good airflow, but it is super noisy. Much louder than my PS3. The button on the case to open my DVD drive does not work, so I have to manually eject it or use my remote to eject it. Either way, I have to wait until Windows starts up in order to eject the DVD drive. Had to reroute the power cables because it was not long enough. Price. Wish there was still Bing CB.

Overall Review: Since it is on my HTPC, it would be nicer the fans weren't as loud. Overall, 3/5 stars.

Pros: The build quality it very high. Easily fit the ATI 5750. Plenty of room for a high end gaming rig(or HTPC). Also fit the ZALMAN 9500A 92mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler just fine. Once you get the understanding of how the HDD chassis and ODD chassis work, they are easy to pull out and put back in. Read below to find out why it didn't get that final egg.

Cons: WHAT? Zalman puts all this time and energy into a great design and build and then goes cheap on the eject button? I put in an LG BD burner. The case ODD eject button and BD eject button do not line up (and thats fine,) but there is NO pressure being applied to the BD eject button. I messed with this thing for 2 days trying to get the case button to eject the disc. There is just not enough umph behind it. The spring in the HD503 gives out before the BD burner goes out. I tried to Macgyver it. Nope. To "fix it" I had to remove the HDD Hot Swap and move the ODD down to that spot. There is no room for the hot swap now.. The front external connectors are too short and had to be cut from the case and rerouted. The iMON software that runs the front LCD panel is really bad. Their support is even worse. The CD that came with the case would not install. I had to DL it from iMON.. that was a fight...

Overall Review: I would buy this again. I would also be better prepared to fight the eject button. If you can look past the eject button issue, feel comfortable re-routing the front external cables and the horrid iMOn support... then this is a great case.

Pros: See my first review. There will be quite a few cons but first the positives. MB installation was easy as the Hard Drives. My Blu-Ray Burner I ordered was DOA so wasn't able to test that function. The fans are quite to the point that it's hard to know if the computer is on or not. They can get loud but that requires them to be running at max speed. CPU is a 2.8 X 3 Phenom and runs at 32-33C which is the coolest out of all my computers. System runs at 36C. Directions were spot on that I would have to remove the Optical Drive and Swap Bay to install MB. I did try to get around it but immediatly saw why. With a modular flat wired PSU wiring wasn't a problem. Smart design and had it not been for the significant issues I ran into this would be a five star product.

Cons: First major problem was the cable that is used to power the LCD screen isn't long enough. I had to cut the tie's and reroute the cable along a different path. The Swap Bay on the left hand side requires you to push down on the back just a bit and lift the Swap bay in just the right balance to get it in. Once you find the right balance it goes in easy... It's finding that balance is the hard part. To get at the one screw in the HDD bay you need to open the middle HDD compartment. Now the big screw ups. After installation I turned on the computer and the LCD screen on the front was upside down... There is a little dot that is supposed to be in the window for the Remote. I'm not familiar with these types of LCD screens on computers but if I was working for you I would. Upside down... Then there was a missing bolt on the bottom wheel that controls the lowering of the door. The gear fell out when I decided to fix the above problem instead of sending the case back.

Overall Review: I took the case apart to fix the LCD screen problem. You have to take the sides off first which requires you to lift these hook things. Took a few to figure it out but after some sore fingers I did it. There is also some hidden screws on the inside at the top so make sure you get those if you want to break it down. Inside where the LCD screen was one of the wires is kind of long. Who ever did it just kind of pushed it in. When I was taking it apart and the gear fell out I was kind of in amazement. Almost a $300.00 case and pieces of it are falling out. I fixed it but I shouldn't of had to fix anything. Would I buy this case again? Yes. Besides the two big problems and the cable not being long enough the installation was easy. Cable management was easy to do and had nice hooks to tie them down. The case keeps the equipment cool. It's silent. HDD's don't vibrate... Could of been a five, should have been a five, but alas it's a two. Still happy and so is the wife.
