Pros: Super cheap and for solid performance

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: These drives are awesome. I was concerned that the lower cache would be too slow but I can hardly see any difference in performance. Excellent for budget builds.

Amazing case... in 2011

Pros: You could legit use it as a boat anchor.

Cons: Oh boy, where to start. I bought this case in 2014 because a friend of mine had gotten one in 2013 and it had one of the most reviews on newegg. He seemed to like it (since he had never had another computer) and I did not bother researching anything. This case is VERY dated. The fans all work and there is tons of airflow. However, it is a relic of the past. - The side panel has one of those old plastic airflow things from before we had real heatsinks and the metal mesh replacement cover rattles and is very flimsy. - Even though the case is enormous the cable management is very narrow on the back panel. It somehow manages to be huge and also way too cramped at the same time. - The two front fans are mounted to huge HDD cages. This would not be as much of an issue if the cages were not so long. If you have a large GPU (980ti strix) you will have to slide them forward, making the front of the case uneven. - I hope your favorite internal color is metal gray. - No PSU shroud. - No lower vent for PSU. - Internal wire colors are a rainbow of fun. - DUST MAGNET. - Very hard to clean - The metal edges are pretty much all sharp. - The side panels are pretty thin. - The screw holes for the PSU do not line up quite right. - The PCI-e screw points are slightly too far away, so to seat the GPU you have to push the rear of the case towards the front until you have screws in place (This might just be my case). And the number 1 biggest complaint I have with this case is: It costs $100 and it is listed as the 3rd best reviewed case on newegg. This is fine for someone who knows what they are looking for, but like myself, many people did/do not know anything about what they should be buying. Yes this was my fault for not researching, but I feel like there needs to be a disclaimer somewhere on this thing that NEWER and BETTER cases are out there for less money.

Overall Review: All in all, this case was good for it's time. However, that time is over. DO NOT BUY THIS CASE.
