Pros: There are definitely a few things I love about this case: 1) This thing is big! It is exactly what I wanted; it is a nice height and depth so there is plenty of room for whatever component you have. 2) The 25cm side fans are definitely a plus. My biggest problem with my last case was horrible cooling provided to the video cards. This is surely not the case anymore. Even under intense gaming, my hardware stays at a nice, cool temperature. Also the fans are darned quiet which really surprised me. The only noise I hear from the case is the obnoxious 12cm fan I put in the front of the case. Otherwise, the case is totally silent. 3) The extra vents that XCLIO put all over this thing. The extra vents were a plus for me since I am big into modding cases but I would assume it to be a plus for everyone since it increases air flow. Overall, this is probably one of the most well-built cases I have bought from Newegg. Solid!
Cons: I have no problem with this but I just wanted to post it to help others. This case is pretty heavy. I was expecting a beefy full-tower and that is what it is. This thing is kind of a chore to haul around I have no problem with it. Just be warned if you were wanting something light. Also the side fans and fan power buttons have LED's that are pretty bright. Once again, it doesn't bother me but maybe would to someone else.
Overall Review: Really awesome case. I would highly recommend this case to any gaming enthusiast or just someone who wants to keep their hardware cool. The side fans are definitely a helpful for dual video card configurations. My specs are: Core2Duo E6850, 4gig DDR2 1066mhz, 2x Nvidia 8800GTS, Nvidia 680i SE mobo.
