Pros: Price, ability to remove face plate and both side plates without any additional tools, very handsome looking case and exceptionally made considering the price. Really had very few problems getting everything installed, exactly what I expected.
Cons: Back component plates are really just perforated metal and once punched out cannot be re-secured, which resulted in a holey situation when I misjudged the slots my video card would occupy. Front plate can be removed so you can get an intake fan down in front of the hard drive bay, but it's so close together that I had to pry it apart with a screwdriver to get the fan in there. Didn't come with any adapters for smaller drives. Screws that came with the stock fan strip very easily.
Overall Review: All considering, I really like this case. It's worth the price if not a little more and overall it was very easy getting everything to go together. It's certainly bare bones, no frills or extras here; but it's a very decent case and a pretty one to boot. The interior is not painted, like some photos lead me to believe, but I'm actually okay with that. I'm sure I'll move on to another case eventually, but for now it was a good purchase.
