Comments: Im a first time builder and this case is very comforting. It comes well packaged (and a day early too). The psu is not the same as the one pictured; The one i recieved did not have the blue molex things. The description does not mention the quick fasten tabs for 5.25" bay floppy bay hard drive bay and expansion slot bay. These are a very nice touch. If your device does not have a hole on the side of it then do not fret it can still be screwed in(only in the back half though, the front has a ledge to rest on). The tempurate monitor has a thermometer that can be generaly placed any where in the case. i believe it only shows fahreinheit degrees. paintjob is very nice. pros: -sturdy -pretty -thermometer -quick fasteners -HUGE window (shows hdd and psu) Cons: -lack of manual info (provided with very short one) -side panel fan is noisy -motherboard tray is hard to get in and out. BTW supa fast shipping: got here a day early

Pros: It's black and super small.

Cons: After owning the ps for just under 5 months it started smelling like burnt plastic. Less than five minutes ago it stopped working entirely. Unlike others, my fan was still operational. Im guessing the fan wasn't sufficient enough to handle the heat. If you are being forced to buy one of these don't forget to add a Sata extension to your cart too, as it is no where near long enough for any standard setup.

Overall Review: I had been using it for a htpc build so it was on the majority of those 5 months.

great!

Pros: amazingly fast when compared to my old computer... first time build... heatsink was scary put on just because you have to push on it so hard...

Cons: none
