Pros: Looks kind of cool, great idea!

Cons: Oh Man.. where to begin. First off, dont be that guy (me) that reads the poor reviews and says "it wont happen to me" because with this case it will... Ive been building computers for 10 years, and this is BY FAR the worst case ive ever used. - Motherboard tray is extremely flimsy and cheap - Back panel will BEND with a breeze; miserable - From bezel has 2 screws in the middle of the inside that you have to scratch the heck out of your hand to reach, plus the 4 clips. And then you cant pull off the bezel without bringing all the wires with it. - Front handle is attached with screws holding washers, holding extremely cheap springs, dont use it. - The entire inside feels like its made of aluminum foil, horribly cheap. - Fans did not illuminate as they were supposed to (small issue... cheap to replace.. but still...) - Would have been SO much better with a PSU with removable cords (SO MANY CORDS!) All in all, the case kind of worked. I lifted the unit up by the spring loaded handle and it immediately broke, and i had to take the whole thing apart to fix. The USB and Firewire (really?) on the front were bent so they are at an 85 degree angle instead of flush #cheap. This case for $100? HAHAHA. Not worth it. Move on.

Overall Review: Use reputable brands like Thermaltake, or Cooler Master. Ive use rosewill cases and they are inexpensive, but also good!
