Pros: works well as a passive case always below 50c. in a 90% passive system.

Cons: would have like more room for cable routing in the back. Stock fans are noisey.

Overall Review: Replaced fans with 2 x 140 and 1 x 120 aero shark silent fans and on low fans cool 10c+ better than stock.

passive dream

Pros: temps stay low even in a passive system. 60c-80c at full load with little airflow. Tested at 620w. A real work of art.

Cons: expensive but worth it for a passive enthusist.

Overall Review: You get what you pay for
