HEC Blitz Black Steel Edition ATX Mid Tower Computer Chassis Gaming Case w/ Front Blue LED 120mm Fan & Top 120mm Fan

Pros: sleek design durable good quality parts nice front blue led fan nice big side mesh window nice blue led power button very light in weight The case is easy to open. It's spacious enough to make placing of the components very easy (see my other thoughts). The front panel inputs (USB, eSATA, etc) aren't attached to the front panel (like some other cases), making it very easy to remove the panel without having to worry about the cables getting disconnected. Every drive bay plastic placeholder has a dust filter. The area for the motherboard is labeled so you know which screw holes to use for what type of board you have. The case includes 2 fans, expandable to a total of 5 fans (1x front, 2x top, 1x rear, 1x bottom). I use 3 fans with one in the rear, and an upward-facing PSU (fan facing into the case), and the inside of the case is cool all the time. I've had this over a year and it's by far the best case I've purchased.

Cons: No adapter for SSD's, but that wasn't a big problem since the SSD came with a bracket. Moving the hard drives around could be a nuisance because the PSU cables are resting in the only logical space and it's right in the way of the hard drives.

Overall Review: I have a micro ATX board and I only use one slot. If it were a regular ATX, you may not be able to use the slot closest to the PSU since the fan is right up against it.

Pros: This case is great, entire front can be used as 5.25 bays

Cons: Not so much of a con, it was easily remedied but the slots have tracks so to speak so when installing two Supermicro CSE-M35T-1B hot swap bays (turns 3 5.25 bays into 5x3.5" hot swap bays) I had to flatten the "tracks" in order to slide them in.

Overall Review: This file server was built with my old gaming PC parts, It has a c2d e8400, Gigabyte p35 board, and a Dell Perc 5i with 8x2tb drives in raid 5. The supermicro hot swap bays already have fans on them and installing them I had to remove the front case fan so I went ahead and put it on the back as an exhaust fan since there was a slot for it anyway. I also added a second 120mm fan in the available up top so this thing has some serious air movement. This case is inexpensive but its versatility is great. Being able to utilize the entire front of the case as 5.25" drives is amazing. Sure there are actual server cases which may be the same and have more slots, but for my purpose this was a lot cheaper and it handles what I need. Best investment ever combined with the hot swap bays. It has made life so much easier

Pros: Overall look of the case is great. Almost all of the case is a steel finish except for the sides on the front and the top, and the plastic is good quality. The top "hatch" holds 2 120mm fans and is nicely designed and easy to use. The front buttons give a nice click when they are pressed and look great. Internally the bottom mounted PSU works well blowing air directly out the bottom and not back into the case. There is foam behind the front mesh to prevent dust and sound.

Cons: Instructions were poor at best, but there is not much to do unless you intend to add the 3.5 external. Mesh front ports were very hard to get off and I was only able to do so by bending it in half then pulling it out. Expansion card slots were also very hard to remove but they are more accessible so it was easier.

Overall Review: The 3.5in internal "screw less" assembly works well on some drives and were loose with some others. So I ended up screwing all of them just to be safe. The way fans are added to the top "hatch" is not with screws but a plastic clipping method and works well for a average 120mm fan, but thicker or thinner fans will not fit. The wires from the front ports and buttons were all long enough to reach to the bottom right corner of my motherboard with room to route nicely. There is a well placed hole below the Motherboard for easy fan replacement without removing the whole motherboard. The motherboard sits up just high enough to route some wires below it but not excessively. Had to move the 3.5in drive up one or two to leave room for extra PSU cables since there is really no other room. The metal felt thin at first (0.6mm), but the case feels solid when it is all together and the thinness helps keep the weight down.

Pros: This is the best sexy looking case I have ever had in my life.This case is better than my Thermaltake V3.When I ordered this case I thought its gona be light weight and cheap looking case but When Its came I open it and BOOM. Its was so sexy.I bought it for $29.99 Free Shipping.

Cons: BUY THIS CASE

Overall Review: I took the upper fan I put it on the back and added 2 rosewill fans on the top.

Pros: Great case! Nice layout, nice look, nice finish, good materials, doesn't feel like it will fall apart any time soon. At first glance, this case seems just like any other budget case, but once you start building a PC inside it, all the little details come to light. Like the front panel. I HATE fighting the cheap screws and short wires that are on most front panels. This case solves all that. The front connections stay with the case when the front is removed, no more wires hanging up! The panel is held on by 6 easy to release "snaps" rather than screws. The drive bays are quite flexible! You can mount 5.25" drives anywhere, top to bottom. The internal drive bay takes up three of those slots and can be mounted at any height in the rack, and also holds one of two included fans. I love the foam filters in the mesh covers on the front. The side opening is also covered with mesh, as is the top two fan bays. There is a second fan included that fits in a top bay. Easy to mount the MB too!

Cons: The only con I can think of is cable management. There's not a lot of ways to hide cables inside. The layout of my motherboard (MSI 870A-G54) and the location of the power supply means that the 4-pin power cable barely reaches, and has to run right across the top of everything. While this isn't a direct fault of the case, you might say that the unusual layout with the P/S in the bottom is to blame. I can live with that though. ;)

Overall Review: I've used cheap cases before, as well as expensive ones. I learned in the past that price and brand don't always mean a lot when it comes to computer cases! Instead I look at reviews, features, etc. Or course price is a factor, but I leave the brand name out of it. This is a prime example. I've paid a lot more for cases and got a lot less! I love the looks and overall design of this case. It's very quiet, runs cool, and the connections on the front work great! I love the pre-configured plugs on them too, far better that figuring out each individual wire for USB and Audio connectors. This is definitely a case I'd buy again!

Pros: Built (6) of these baby's now and this is one of the most workable cases I have ever used ! Nice appearance and function with the blue LED lighted fans, serious (maximum) air flow to cool the most demanding heat exchange systems, It all here and a hot swap HD rack to boot. Just keep it clean you won't be sorry.!!"

Cons: Note: remember to switch to top fans to pull air into the case not push air outward, this keeps side panel venting screen from catching dust (pulling inward). HEC needs to fix this, but easy enough to reverse these.

Pros: Easy to set up. Tons of air flow. Plenty of space!

Cons: 2 fans with case. Fans are installed both blowing in. I reversed the lower to blow out and the upper to blow in. I also added 2 additional fans to create more cubic feet movement.

Pros: This case has enough room for your average to high end ATX motherboards. I love that it has a bottom mounted PSU and it pulls air in from the bottom. This case also has a lot of places to install fans. ( 1 front, 1 bottom, t back, 2 top) The whole front side of the case is 5.25in Bays so you can move drives anywhere you want. That also makes the whole front bezel mesh! and it includes air filters. This case does collect a lot of dust in the air filters as i keep it running about 8 hours a day fans at 100%. All the Front ports work perfect. The power and HDD LEDs are nice.

Cons: There really are not to many cons, if any about this case. For how cheap it is ( $59.99 at time of buying) its almost perfect. But there are a few flaws... -The CPU cutout was not big enough (dremmel work required) - There is only about 1/2in space behind Mobo so that makes for little room to run wires. I literally have my rear pannel forced closed. but it does not bow it just pushes the wires down.

Overall Review: Even though this case is cheap it is very very sturdy (stong steel)
