Love this case!

RAIDMAX AZTEC ATX-619WU Black/ Blue 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Foldout MB Computer Case

Pros: Tool-less component install. Steel construction. Plenty of space for all the accessories. Multiple fans plus room for more.

Cons: Not a one that I have found.

Overall Review: This case is the first "gamer" type case I have ever bought with the see through side and the internal lights and I am very happy with this purchase. This was the easiest case I have ever owned to install components in. No screws for the drives, only for the cards and those are optional. Has a good look sitting on the desk, and considering the number of fans in this case (plus room for more) it runs much much quieter than I ever expected. This was just a great choice and I recommend it to anyone looking for a tower.

Good bang for the buck

Pros: Great specs. Great price. Piece of cake to setup and has a ton of OC features which makes it very nice. Highly configurable so it lets you feed your "inner geek" to its hearts content. So far, I am liking this board.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Made the mistake of not paying attention and double-checking the specs before I ordered. This board does NOT support SLI. CrossFireX.. yes, SLI.. NO. I read an old forum post that was wrong, and made a bad assumption looking at the photos and specs and assumed that multiple PCIe slots meant SLI capable. My bad. Beyond that, I am thinking that this board will be all that it is meant to be. Just be CLEAR when reading specifications. Don't let the fact that your pc has just died and you have a raid crew on the phone yelling at you to get your cleric/pally/lock/etc online to go after that latest dungeon boss, and you get in too big of a hurry and you make the same mistake I did.

Pros: Large cooler, large fan, great looks, easy to install.

Cons: Very tall overall.

Overall Review: I got this to go on a Core2 Duo Quad in a tower case with butterfly type sides that open like a book. Everything went well untill I tried to close the side. This particular case I bought has a fan on the side. The cooler fan hit just on this fan not allowing the side of the case to completely close. While this wouldn't be much to fix with a rotory cutter, I wasn't willing to chop on a brand new item. So, the cooler is sitting in its box waiting for me to decided what to do. My advice, check the clearance in your case from the top of the processor to the oposite side and make sure you have room for a cooler this large and tall.

Good solid power

Pros: Standard and well documented install process made this a no brainer. Driver updates were a couple of clicks and done.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: All in all this has been a good buy. Video has been very good with the few games I play. No lag noticed due to video card, and a couple of graphics test showed 119 fps while running a "high load simulation".
