What a bargain
Pros: 5 fans, easy to remove hard drive cages, TONS of room and plenty of space to route all of your cables. Even with all the fans it's not loud. Disregard the comments about the front panel being dificult to remove-simply hold the top and pull the bottom out-nice and easy! Even without the rebate this case is worth the money.
Cons: Would be nice if it was 1.5"-2" wider. My CoolerMaster V8 wouldn't fit with the side fan inside. 15 mins. and 9 1.5" 8-32 screws and I had it moved to the outside. Also the top fan died after 10 secs. However a phonecall to AZZA had a new fan on the way the same day.
Overall Review: AZZA customer service is the BEST there is!!!!!! Less than 30 mins. after calling about the bad fan I had a tracking number for the replacement and received it in 3 days!!!
NOT COMPATIBLE with ASUS Crosshair Formula Z
Pros: Should be good with compatible motherboards
Cons: NOT compatible with ASUS Crosshair Formula Z mobo! Interferes with VRM heatsink and memory modules. Nothing in Cooler Masters or NewEggs specs give any compatibility issues. You would think they would design the waterblock to work with one of the most popular boards available for AMD!
Overall Review: Guess I'll have to wait another couple weeks to RMA and get somthing that works.
EXTREMELY SOLID STAND!
Pros: Very solid construction. This thing will last for years! Upgradeable Folds up for storage Fits most all wheels and pedals Does not move around during use, it's HEAVY! CUSTOMER SERVICE! Yes, Next leval Racing knows what service is all about!!!
Cons: Adaptor kit was a little confusing (see comments below)
Overall Review: Purchased this stand to use with Fanatec CSL Elite Wheel Base and wheel, CSL Elite Pedals with Loadcell. and ClubSport Shifter SQ. Everything can be bolted on using existing holes, however I wanted my pedals further forward and drilled new holes in the pedal plate. Even with drilling new holes, assembly took less than an hour. For the Fanatec pedals you will need to use the included adaptor kit (also for the T3PA Pedals). I was a little confused on how it was designed, but an email to Next Level Racing had everything cleared up in less than a day! They also include a Pedal Upgrade Kit that includes strengthening bars if you like to press hard on your pedals. If you want a high quality wheel stand without breaking the bank, this is the one to get! If you have a simple question or a problem with the stand, Next Level Racing WILL make it right!
Plays well with AMD
Pros: I've had this memory for over a year now and it simply ROCKS! Runs at advertised settings with no issues at all. Compatible with AMD
Cons: None at all
Overall Review: Finding 16GB of memory that will run 8-8-8-24 @ 1600 can be expensive. I did have to set timings manually in the bios but I expected that. MSI 790FX-GD70 AMD 1090T OC'd 3.7Ghz Corsair TX 750W 2 XFX 5830 Cross Fired OCZ Agility 3 SSD
Pros: I've had this cooler for a little over 2 yrs. now and it has done a FANTASTIC job of cooling my 1090T OC'ed to 4.0 Ghz. Idle temps are 22C-23C and full load running Prime 95 are 40C-42C. Temps with a 3.7Ghz OC are 19c idle and 35C-37C during extended gaming sessions. Very quiet even at 100% fan speed. This cooler simply ROCKS with the AMD 6 core CPU's!!!
Cons: It is very large!!! make sure your case has the room for it. I have the AZZA Solano case and had to move the side fan to the outside of the case to get enough clearance, but it is worth the hassle for the cooling the V-8 offers. It can be a little difficult to clean the cooling fins but compressed air does a good job.

AVOID Limited Goods at all costs
Ordered on 10/27/2015. Not shipped as of 11/4. Contacted Newegg for assistance with the seller. They emailed Limited Goods and this was they're reply: Hello, I just looked into your order shipping details. It should be showing a more recent update than that, and I am very concerned about this. I would say, though, that it might be best for us to give FedEx a couple more days to get this straightened out. If there has been no update by October 6, please let us know right away. Thanks so much George Customer Service Limited Goods Guess what? They finally shipped the next day-9 days after the order was placed!!! 2 weeks to receive something that should have been a week at the most! I later found out they have an F rating with the BBB. Newegg, GET RID OF THIS SELLER
