Pros: 1) Attractive gloss black w/ simple, clean elegant front panel feat. lighted trim. Side window & 2 flip-down "stealth" 5.25" bay covers. 2) Above average cooling w/1 rear 120mm fan, 1 side 120mm blue LED fan and spot for 1 up to 120mm front fan. Fans are fairly quiet. Large airflow openings. 3) Mostly tool-less design. Includes enough clips for all drive bays. 4) Spacious enough for larger CPU coolers (120mm Sunbeam cooler doesn't quite clear side fan). Ample drive bays. 5) Solid construction, quality material used, very good fit and finish. 6) USB, audio & ESATA ports mounted on side of front panel. Audio includes HD & AC97 connectors. 7) Many nice details such as rubber bumpers on corners & true rubber feet. Very few sharp edges. 8) Truly exceptional value for the price (once rebate arrives, I will have paid $30 shipped on sale, how does Newegg do it?).

Cons: 1) Finish doesn't hide scratches. Virtually impossible to find gloss black drives, readers, etc. to match. 2) Front-most ATX holes don't line-up w/motherboard, had to use cut-down nylon standoffs. 3) Would have liked front FireWire port. 4) Two more "stealth" and one more plain 5.25" covers would be fantastic. 5) Removable MB tray would be nice. 6) Feet attached w/adhesive, would have preferred mechanical attachment. 7) One of the rubber corner bumpers kept falling off & was eventually lost. 8) Not personally a fan of lights & windows, but whatever--it won't be mine for long.

Overall Review: I was putting together a gaming build to sell & jumped at this case when I saw the sale on it. Great case for this type of build. Per the norm w/Newegg, it arrived quickly & in good condition. With it's spaciousness & (mostly) tool-less design, things proceeded quickly. The only hiccup (& the one thing that kept it from getting 5 eggs) was the front-most ATX standoff holes not lining-up w/ the MB. I believe this to be a defect w/the case or it's design, as opposed to the MB. Luckily, I had some spare nylon standoffs, so I cut the mounting tabs off the bottoms & just have them rest against the MB tray. I doubt most people would be so lucky. Once completed, it looked great--tasteful & elegant (despite the window & lights). The clear acrylic trim around the front panel is a nice accent & also serves as the power & HDD LEDS. Overall, I'm very impressed w/this case. It's rugged, well designed, attractive, easy to work with & affordable. Recommended, even at full pri

Pros: Reasonably attractive (not ugly, at least); thin metal=light weight; tool-less drive clips & expansion slot retainer; quiet; 400W p/s included; 80mm fan included; thin metal=easy "massaging";reasonably well constructed for budget case; arrived w/out damage (not true of different case ordered @ same time); easy enough to work with; laterally adjustable eject button extension block for 5.25" drive cover plate; cost $30 after shipping and rebate (which I haven't received yet); p/s hasn't fried anything yet

Cons: Advertised w/485W p/s when I purchased; thin metal=flimsy; not enough tool-less clips for all drive bays, plus it seems only 1 clip per 5.25" (still not enough included); cheap construction overall; p/s seems extremely cheap (it is NOT an Enermax); above mentioned eject button extension block was too long (a little sanding took care of that)

Overall Review: If you can get it for $30 like I did then go for it, otherwise don't bother. It doesn't scream cheapness, and is solid enough when assembled, but there's no denying it when you're working on it. Fan and p/s are pretty reliable and quiet right now, we'll see how long that lasts. I'm not overly ecstatic about the p/s not being what was advertised, but it's a budget build, so it shouldn't matter.

Pros: Rebate is not a scam. I just received it today (09/18/2009). Still like the case, one of the best mid-level cases out there.

Cons: Took just over 4 months. This is about 3 weeks longer than the 12-14 claimed on the rebate form. Case purchased on 05/14/2009.

Overall Review: I was a little worried about the rebate, having read some of the other reviews. I was getting ready to contact them and start making a pain of myself, but that is no longer necessary. Repeat, I did not need to follow-up on the matter, though it DID take longer than it should have. The case itself I am very impressed with. I have posted a full review dated 07/10/2009 below. 4 egg rating is that of the case itself. As for the rebate, it would rate a 2 because I actually received it but it took too long.

Pros: -Large, extremely effective cooling. -Wicked fast--mine made consecutive, error-free passes of Memtest86 v3.4 & Memtest86+ v2.11 w/4-4-4-12 timings @2.1v (though I suspect that was pushing it). -Great price & value, I paid $22 & $35 after discounts and rebates for my kits. -OCZ's outstanding customer service (see my other review below).

Cons: -1st kit DOA (forgivable as the occasional dud is inevitable w/any manufacturing process and OCZ took care of it w/aplomb) -Voltage spec on DIMM is 2.2v while website listed (and still does as of this review) it at 2.1v. This cost it the egg. -Very tall, could cause clearance issues w/small cases or large CPU coolers.

Overall Review: This review is based on my 3rd kit. 1st was DOA. Second worked well w/4-4-4-15 @ 2.1v, but I sold the PC before I got a chance to do thorough testing. This one is the DOA replacement. Started w/Memtest86+ v2.11, 4-4-4-15 @ 2.1v. After several error-free passes, I tried 4-4-4-12 @ 2.2v which ran error-free. Switched over to Memtest86 v3.5, but it wouldn't run at all. Tried v3.4 and RAM ran error-free. Bumped voltage back down to 2.1v (still 4-4-4-12). It was a little twitchy on the first couple of tests, but settled-down quickly and ran all passes error-free. Switched back to Memtest86+ for good measure and RAM, again, ran error-free. RAM ran several hours of AMD Overdrive's stability test w/o a hitch. Other than the minor hiccup w/the 1st kit, this RAM has proven fast and reliable. It also runs noticeably cooler than other RAM I've used (though I don't recommend it, I actually touch various parts while the PC is running to assess how hot they run). Highly recommende

Pros: Large, effective heatsink. Excellent timing specs. OUTSTANDING customer support from OCZ on all fronts--forums, tech support and RMA depts. Received reply within one business day for every contact I made. Received RMA with no hassles whatsoever. Received prepaid shipping label upon explanation of DOA status and inability to go through Newegg due to UPC missing for rebate.

Cons: DOA. Don't feel overvolting NB should be necessary when MB works fine w/other memory. Very tall heatsink may cause clearance issues w/small cases or large CPU coolers (not the case w/me, but one should always check W/this RAM).

Overall Review: RAM was DOA, which is an automatic 1 egg. OCZ's cust. service rates 5 eggs, so split the difference for 3 eggs. Didn't have all parts at the time, so I had to send UPC off for rebate without testing the RAM. Upon discovering DOA status, went to OCZ support forums (Newegg won't issue an RMA w/o UPC, which is a reasonable anti-fraud measure). Received helpful, timely responses to all my queries. Quickly confirmed RAM was DOA and received instructions for obtaining RMA, which was issued immediately, with no hassles. Requested a prepaid waybill for return, explaining RAM was DOA and nonreturnable through Newegg. OCZ issued said waybill, again, with no hassles. My highest compliments to OCZ, Roy, Ryder, and especially, Josh. I have more of the same RAM that works fine and will write review for it when I have thoroughly tested it. I will also write a review on the RMA RAM when I get it.

Pros: Functions satisfactorily. Ample connectors overall (especially Molex) for a budget PSU, including a 6-pin PCI-E. Even w/2 fans, it's yet whisper quiet (CPU fan makes far more noise). Super inexpensive (I paid $16 after rebate, which contrary to my initial review on 6/15/09, probably took more like 3 weeks to arrive--still the fastest rebate I've ever received). Wires are long enough to reach anywhere needed in an average-sized case, but thin (also a con) enough as to be not bulky and easily tucked-away out of sight. Thin wires are also very flexible and easy to work with. Lightweight (not a con itself, but indicator of a possible con) just makes it that much less a pain-in-the-posterior to install. Wow, that was a fast rebate! Seriously. I placed the order on 5/14 and had a check in my hands on 6/15. Figure in shipping and USPS times and my lallygagging about mailing it in and you come up with a rebate house that's ON THE BALL!! OUTSTANDING!!! OCZ should check these guys.

Cons: Lightweight due to cheap construction. Fans are small & don't move a lot of air. Needs more SATA connectors (only 2? c'mon, SATA connectors should at least outnumber floppy connectors on a modern PSU), but I have so many SATA adapters laying around nowadays, I really don't see it being an issue. It does emit a faint ozone smell, but I'm not worried about it yet, though I guess I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the thing died suddenly. Ummm..not heavy enough to be a doorstop? (HA! check out the 1 egg reviews, classic)

Overall Review: There are 2 caveats about my 5 egg rating: 1) It's based on this being a budget PSU. If it were a mid- or high-end unit it would probably score only 3, maybe 2 eggs. 2) Due to confirmed RAM issues with the build, I haven't been able to perform any proper extended or stress testing on it, so there's still plenty of opportunity for it to die. Still, my overall experience with it thus far has been quite positive, and given the extremely low price I paid, I currently see no reason not to give it 5 eggs. Qualified recommended. Oh yeah, did I mention the timely rebate?
