Great case for a storage server build.
Pros: Simple but effective front hotswap bays. Lockable front door to prevent tampering. Enough room inside to fit a micro-atx motherboard, LSI HBA card, Intel nic, ssd, and a 500 watt PSU. I did have to mount an ssd to the top of the internal drive cage with 3M tape since there is no ssd mount.
Cons: Cooling could be better but with efficient hdds it's adequate. No internal ssd mount. Hotswap tray activity light pipes could be better. Power rail caps on the backplane board need to be secured better as they are prone to getting bent and bumped while doing cable management.
Overall Review: Despite the cons this case is really good for specific needs. I would recommend it again.
Died within 8 months.
Pros: Worked well before it died.
Cons: Woke up to a pc with no power. PSU tested fine with no load but as soon as a load was applied it shut down. Cooler Master took several weeks to ship a replacement and the replacement was scratched all over and dented up when it arrived. Replacement works but acts a little sketchy. Not what I would have expected when they brag about their 5 year warranty on these supplies.
Overall Review: Replaced with an EVGA 500B and its been chugging along perfectly even running a high load 24/7.
Reliable fast memory.
Pros: Great looks and performance. Reliable trusted brand. Great compatibility.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: Would recommend.
Great graphics card.
Pros: Bought this as a budget card awhile back but it's been passed through many builds and works great. Love the looks.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: Would recommend.
Looks great but flimsy build.
Pros: Looks and expandability sold me on this but after owning for a few months I no longer like it.
Cons: Case is mostly plastic and is flimsy.
Overall Review: Not recommended.
Stylish but cramped.
Pros: Great looks and fits a htpc build perfect.
Cons: Little space. Less than optimal cooling. Dedicated graphics will be hard to implement.
Overall Review: Would only recommend to experienced builders as this case is cramped.
