Cheated out of Rebate!

NZXT Source 210 S210-001 Black “Aluminum Brush / Plastic” ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: It's an OK case, provided you don't need USB3 and don't mind the lack of dust filters. Overall, using an mATX board, it was an easy build; with anything larger it might get a little cramped.

Cons: Now that I have a case with fan mounts on the top I find it a bit distracting, eventually I'm going to knock a beer over onto the case and that will be it. My biggest gripe though, is getting cheated out of the rebate. The cost, minus rebate would have made this inexpensive case a great deal, without it, it was too expensive. The company that handles the rebates for NZXT, AFTCorp.com, showed my rebate as approved, but never sent the check. So consider yourselves warned.

Cheap Fans

Pros: The Heatsink works quite well, even managed to keep my processor from frying after the fan failed.

Cons: Cheap, light-weight fans. I had the unit for about 18 months, 6 months left on the warranty. The fan seized-up completely. Cooler Master approved a replacement but never sent it.

Overall Review: If you get lucky you may not need to deal with Cooler Mater customer service, but if you do, you likely wont get much service.
