Most Critical Review

Decent for the money, but wish I'd spent more

RAIDMAX ATX-321WB Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
RAIDMAX ATX-321WB Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: The case provides a back panel for cable management. Plenty of fan locations available, and my components have all been running quite cool so far. A fan of surprisingly good quality came with the case, though I didn't end up using it. There is a filter included for the power supply fan, which is convenient depending on your positioning of the PSU. There is a convenient tool-less drive system if you happen to run out of screws or loose some, but see the cons before relying on it. With a few LED fans and some lighting the case looks pretty good.

Cons: While there is space in the back panel for cable management, there is very little actual access. I managed most of the cables, but some of the power cables are still visible. The tool-less drive system leaves drives shaky, so I ended up just using screws anyway. Access to the front fan makes installation in that spot tricky. I'm also not a fan of the some of the cheaper looking plastic on parts of the exterior.

Overall Review: The case is good for the money, but I really wish I'd spent more. I plan to change the case at some point for better appearances if nothing else. The inside of the case still looks poorly managed even with most of the cables running through the back panel. That said the install was manageable even with fairly clunky components, so if you are using more slender equipment you may find this case is perfect.
