Pros: Really, minimalistic clean looks, very nice too look at. Tons of great tool less features that for the most part work great (see below). The holes around the motherboard tray for cable mounting are particularly great and really make it easy to route the cables exactly where you want them for a super clean efficient layout. Great air flow with two 120mm intakes and one 120 exhaust plus the PSU will give you slightly positive air pressure. And you can't tell from the pics and I don't think it its listed as a feature but there is dust filters on the intake fans and they are very easily accessible (nice!). USB, audio, and eSATA ports are on the top of the case. 6 3.5 internal drives and 3 5.25 bays is the right balance almost nobody needs more than 3 5.25 bays these days.

Cons: Not many but here it goes. Having the motherboard in a traditional orientation and the PSU on the bottom means you have long runs to reach the 24 pin ATX connector and 4/8 pin 12v CPU connector. With my PC Power & Cooling Silencer (370 watt) I was way short with the 4 pin 12v cable and just a bit on the 24 pin. Needless to say I ordered extension cables so keep that in mind. The front filters on mine didn't quite fit up flush with the internal baffle. They were a bit big which caused them bow out leaving a small gap which will let in a bit of dust. I would prefer the power and HD access LEDs be on the front of the case not the top. The tool-less system for the 5.25 drive didn't work with the LG drive I choose in combination with a AL Lian Li 5.25 optical drive cover. All the PCI brackets are ventilated which doesn't make much sense. You really only want the one bracket closest to the GPU HS/F to have ventilation, the rest should be solid.

Overall Review: Just keep in mind where the PSU is in the case in relation to where the AXT power connectors are and either choose your PSU accordingly or have extension cables ready to go.

Pros: I'll preface this review by stating that I choose this case as it was the cheapest case with USB 3.0 that looked like it would have decent build quality and clean looks. It mostly succeeds in the build quality department. The steel and plastic do feel a bit thin and weak but for the price its not too bad, and its by no means terrible. It also mostly succeeds in the looks department. It has a very minimal and clean look, aside from the LED fan perhaps too minimal. Cooling performance is also pretty good with two 120mm fans, one intake one exhaust. The tool less drive mounts look and feel a bit cheap in use but they actually do a surprisingly good job of holding a optical drive in place securely.

Cons: Like I mentioned above it does feel a bit cheap and flimsily for steel. You can also forget about the clean looks with the stock LED intake fan, too bad. The intake and exhaust 120mm fan openings are nice but the to cut outs in the side panel for the optional 120mm is kind of a joke and just another entry point for dust. The included 120mm fans are also very low quality, and horribly balanced, complete garbage really. The hard drive bays should be rotated 90 degrees to make more room for working within the case. As it is now power and SATA cables can get fairly close to interfering with the CPU HS/F. There is a spot located on the bottom of the case for another 3.5" drive or a SSD I fail to see how it could possibly work cable management wise.

Overall Review: Overall its not a bad case but I'd rather pay $10 more for improved build quality and decent fans

Pros: Hard to say really.... Quality seems decent but I never got the chance to use the product as attended, see blow.

Cons: Just like James I ordered two sets of these both were missing all the mounting hardware (bolts, washers and nuts). and one set was missing a set of L brackets. It would have probably been possible to piece something together as far as mounting hardware but the missing L brackets makes the rails unusable

Pros: This is a very solid and well built case, materials are top notch pure and simple. It also looks the part, simple understated, minimal but serious design. The layout works very well and there is plenty of air flow for power hungry machines. Cable management is also done very well.

Cons: USB ports are placed to close together, and they are not USB 3.0. Front audio connectors on a case of this class isn’t really needed or wanted.

Pros: Very quiet and efficient HS/F. Fan typically runs at 1100 – 1300RPM idle and maxes out in the mid to high 2000 RPM range. At idle it is very quiet, barely audible really, under load it is noticeable but its still not what I would consider loud. Idle temp are in the mid 30’s and load is around the 60’s in MW2. The card comes with a modest stock overclock but there is potential for more speed. However the stock overclock is more than what comes on many other stock overclocked 6850s.

Cons: Not much in the way of cons really, the bundle is bit weak but I don’t buy cards based on the bundle. There is a physical switch to change the fan profile on the card but it does not affect idle speed, just load speed. So basically all it does is force the card to run hotter (as well as quieter) when its under load but it does nothing for the idle noise floor. Since most people will be gaming with this card the noise the fan makes is inconsequential in my opinion. It should be the other way around, lower fan speed and slightly higher temps at idle but the same cooling under load.

Pros: This is a very quick drive, it benched about 10-15% faster than a 640GB WD Black of the same generation. Its also very quiet in both seek and idle noise, noticeably quieter than the WD spinning up.

Cons: Nothing on the drive really. The only downside I can think of is the lack of cloning software from Hitachi but there are good free party utilities.
