Pros: *Light weight (empty of course) *Structual strength and great build quality *Plenty of room to work in *Ample space behind MB *Tool-less design for HDD's and 5.25" bays is done well *A nice window (I dont see the problem everyone else seems to have with it) *Nine expansion slots *Lots of fan spaces *More than enough room for the longest of gpu's *Super Mid-tower (companies should make more of these!) *Not an over the top design that looks like it will come alive at night and eat me :)

Cons: *Silver screws for fan mounts on an all black case. (not a deal breaker by any means as these can be changed) *Grommet hole near PSU could be a smidge larger *Front panel cables could be a tad longer, maybe 2-3" more *Perhaps a couple more cable routing holes would be nice. These are absolutley the only things I could find wrong with the case and I really had to think hard to come up with them. Perhaps version II will solve these slight issues and turn an awesome product into an outstanding one!

Overall Review: Excellent case for all intents and purposes. Any product that makes a build extremely smooth is worthy of the best of awards. A perfect 5 egg product. Do yourself a favor and click the "add to cart" button.

Pros: Very spacious to work in. Hard drive mounting appears solid, even without screws. The overall design is very pleasing, and the case is quite light. There are plenty of spots for fan mounts if you need them, but the included 200mm/120mm provide good stock ventilation.

Cons: Its a lot of little things... The optical bay mount points are simultaneously amazing and a huge let down. They work on some sort of lever mechanism, which automatically locks itself in place when you insert the drive. It works amazingly. Except that lever is only on the left (main) side of the drive. There is nothing to secure the drive on the right side. Nothing. At. All. Not even screw holes. Just metal. If I push hard enough on the right side of my optical drive, it depress into the case. I cannot comprehend what engineer would let a design like this leave the factory. It is beyond me. The rubber lining in the cable passthroughs very easily detaches. It isn't glued on. Its like they tried to mold the rubber into little clips, but rubber doesn't really work that way. If you push too hard, they fall out. They can be easily put back in, but its ridiculous that they didn't just glue them in like most other manufacturers. The back fan control is awkward. It provides ports for up-to four 3-pin connectors, two of which are taken by the stock fans. However, its position in the very back of the case makes it impossible to use for any fans in the front unless you have some extension cable. The back of the case also has cutouts for fan speed control switches, but doesn't provide any actual switches on the board. Its like the team who designed the case never talked to the team who designed the fan control PCB. The motherboard standoffs are odd. When completely tightened, a couple of them still left just a half millimeter of room for the motherboard to wiggle around. It was enough to where if you pressed on the MB, you could hear it click against the metal. I compensated with just using more standoffs. Mounting liquid cooling in this case would be tough. Just be aware of that. Most other cases in this class usually provide, say, a 120/140mm fan on the top which could be replaced with a single or dual slot radiator. This case has a single 200mm fan on the top, without any way to mount a 120 in its place. It is amazing for air cooling, but it means you'll have to place your radiator on the rear vent or on the hard drive cage.

Overall Review: Overall, I am keeping the case because returning cases is a hassle and it isn't all that bad. You likely will never notice most of the negatives once you've sealed the case up and start using it. I'd say this is a great high-end beginners case. Experienced system builders might prefer some of the amenities and polish other manufacturers provide (at higher prices), but this case is very good for its price.

Pros: What a great case. Moved up from an Antec nine hundred, which I have built over a dozen computers with. Lots of room for everything I have. I'm running 3 3.5" HDs, and 1 SSD. One thing I didn't see anywhere in the description is that this hat spots for 2 SSDs up front, above the 6 HD bays. No brackets required. I love the cable routing around back of the motherboard, just wish they had made the channel behind the motherboard a tiny bit wider for extra cable room.

Cons: Just a few annoyances in comparison to the nine hundred: -Ordered Antec fans for up front, and they touch the air filter and rub against it, meaning I can't use the air filter. Bummer. 1-2mm of extra room would have made the difference. -Right side cover does not latch on to the back side once slid into place without screws in. This means any cables pressing outward will make putting the cover back on, a two hand job. Must hold the cover in place while putting screws in. -Having openings on the covers is great, but if you don't use fans there, having them open reduces airflow through the case. Had to figure out another way to cover these holes, since that side of the case is sitting against my desk. I used the included protective plastic for the plexiglass and cut to fit. -Included fan setup isn't anywhere near as good as the nine hundred, but this could be a positive for some. The included fans have no speed adjustment, where the nine hundred came with 4 fans all having 3 speeds. The fan distribution point is the most pointless thing ever. It only allows you to add 2 more fans, when the case can hold 7 additional. Strange. I eliminated it and purchased a fan controller for all the fans, and hooked them all to that. I do, however, LOVE that they included a switch on the 120mm fan that lets you turn off the LEDs. They are angled in such a way that when I walk in my dark office, they are way too bright and shine right in your eyes.

Overall Review: Wish I could find an adapter for the USB3 plug to USB2... My motherboard, though it has USB3, doesn't have a USB3 header.

Pros: This case was an upgrade buy for me from the Antec Three Hundred and I am very pleased by the quality of the case. Its price range is on point for the features that this case offers. -Besides the 2 fans that are included, you can add up to 7 more 120mm fans inside of this case!!! I have all 7 spots filled with fans that only do 1200rpm +/- 10% so I get plenty of airflow without a lot of excessive noise. -There are a few really nice rubber grommet slots to feed all of your wires through. -Tool-less HDD/SSD slots work well and the drives hold well when in place. All in all this is an amazing case. It has A TON of room to work with on the inside, as well as enough space behind the motherboard to hide all of your cables, and the cooling is nearly unbeatable with any other fan setup. This was a must buy for me as soon as it came out late November, and I know that you will not be disappointed.

Cons: Other people needing to read or look at item details before buying!! (see other thoughts)

Overall Review: I hate it when people knock off eggs for good products when their reasons are the same as the item description. -YES this case only comes with 2 fans. Sure it should come with more, but with the ability of putting 7 more fans inside makes it an amazing case for cooling. -YES it is bigger than a mid tower. It specifically states "Super Mid Tower" which is exactly what it is. This case is nearly full tower size.

Pros: Very large for a mid-tower, good fan placement options, good packaging retail box, not to goofy looking, you can turn the blue LED fan light off, reasonably well made.

Cons: 200mm upper exhaust fan was noisy from the first use, see details on a fix below. It was an manufacturing error, and I suspect not an uncommon one given the number of results online for noisy Antec 1100 200mm fan. Mine was perfectly fixable.

Overall Review: Lot of case for the money, it isn't quiet and that isn't it's purpose, but it runs really cool by nature. Some fan lead extensions and/or splitters may be in order. It's roomy and air flows well, it's slightly cheap feeling by the standards of a guy that got his start on old Unisys servers and Supermicro full towers in the 90's, but it has a ton of really cool features an little details, I'm happy for the money. The 200mm exhaust fan was noisy from the start, being mounted horizontally, the blades were dropping down and being noisy, I fixed it since I don't like throwing stuff away. The fan is actually pretty well made, good windings and coils/magnets, it's strong running, the fan shaft turns on a bronze sleeve bushing that was reasonably well lubed from the factory, but it was incorrectly assembled. Remove it, pull the Antec label off, pop out the center rubber plug, you'll see the tiny metal shaft sticking up with a white plastic 0 looking clip that has a split in it which fits in a slot in the shaft to hold it in. In my case, laying on top of it, was the rubber o-ring that was supposed to be under that white fastening clip to keep the blades from dropping too low and being noisy, it was just laying in there, somebody, or an assembly machine, messed up. So, very carefully, pull down on the fan blade assembly and/or push down on the metal shaft while gently prying that white 0 apart at the split with something thin and ridged till the fan pops loose. Clean all the grease out of the bushing and off the fan shaft, noting that the shaft has another o-ring on the bottom to keep lube in presumably. Now lube it all up, put the fan back in, replace the o-ring or find a replacement if it was MIA (same size as the bottom one more or less), then using an appropriately sized deep well 1/4" drive socket, drive the white affixing plastic white 0 clip back onto the shaft. If you do it right, there will be a small amount of drop on the fan blades when horizontal, but not so much that it's noisy. Mine is quiet now and runs 750RPM hooked to the PWR port on my Asrock 990FX Extreme9, I assume this is full spec RPM or close enough to it. Also lube the thing up good with heavy oil before putting the rubber plug back in. That fixed mine right up, YMMV. I should probably deduct an egg for the fan fixing, but it really was pretty minor. It's a mass-produced world..

Pros: Packaged really well Plenty of room to work Motherboard back cooling option <3 Looks great Dust filters High build quality Dedicated ssd slots Big backplate cutout Punched out side panel for hiding cables Outstanding cable management options Included fans are quiet to me Great airflow capabilities, 2 120mm internal fan mounts Fan PCB thing for powering included fans from molex 3.5" drive rails work really well and don't fall off easily Tooled PCI brackets instead of flimsy clips

Cons: No eSATA port Tool-less 5.25" bay doesn't hold my card reader very well, I got screws into one side but cannot get screws into the other side

Overall Review: First, I love this case. I have never owned a case of such high quality. I put 2 120mm green led cougars in the front, 1 green CM sickleflow 120mm inside, 1 120mm ebmPapst running at 7v for motherboard back cooling (way too loud/powerful at 12v). What impressed me most was how much that extra fan dropped my vreg temp. It's about 30°C cooler than I have ever seen it (45° idle, 59° load). My board does have some transistors or something on the back under vregs. I am sure the temp drop is due to cooling the back of the board. For this reason alone I would recommend this case to overclockers with high vreg temps. I'm running an old EVGA x58 ftw3 with an i7 930 @ 4GHz. Totally confident in my case/hsf's ability to cool my 3(4?)930k in the future! I suggest powering the fan hub thing before inserting a board with a large cooler attached. I did not do this and had to remove the rear 120mm to reach the molex connector because my HSF was getting in the way. I was too excited to read the directions, but I am sure they mention this. The cable management in this case is great. All my cables are behind my motherboard tray thanks to the punched out back panel. May need longer sata cables, one of mine was too short to reach my optical drive up in the top bay, so it is not going through the cable grommets. Had to get an eps12v extension for my PSU (Corsair tx750 - non modular). Because of the way I laid out my hard drives (3 plus one ssd) airflow is not obstructed from the front intake. The internal fan behind the drive cage gets this cool air right to my GPU. I do plan to get two more green cougars for these internal bays. I've worked in a lot of cases over the years and this one has to be my favorite.

Pros: Newegg shipped this case almost next day! There is so much about this case and its WOW factor I really should wait until I am more awake to write this, however I have already procrastinated this long if I do not do now I will not do it at all, so here it goes. The case is Huge and well organized, big space behind the motherboard for cable management and a fan to blow on the backside of the CPU area, there are rubber grommet areas all around the motherboard area to thread yours cables back through keeping most of the cables out of the main case area. There is a vent underneath where the Power Supply mounts with a removable screen to keep dust out. It comes with 1 200mm fan and 1 120mm fan, unlike other Antec cases I bought the optional fans do not come with it, I bought and installed the other 7 120mm fans. It easily fit the Cooler Master Hyper EVO 212 CPU fan with room for the 2 120mm side window fans installed. Other than screwing in the fans the case is pretty much tool less as well. The front USB's and the sound ports work with no problems. The Corsair HX850 power supply cables reached everything easily even with using the cable management system. The case also came with all the screws, adapters, mounts needed for any motherboard, power supply, hard drive, fans etc. Bottom line it is a good looking case, lots of room for most any setup, near perfect design setup, can see everything in your system from the side window, can easily get at anything in your system before, during and after the build.

Cons: Small con, the plastic nubs that hold the side window fans are easily broken, be careful when mounting the side fans. I broke one when switching fans, even if your break both for each fan the two screws on each fan will hold it firmly in place, it is just something to be careful of.

Pros: Great cooling, tons of room, 2.5" drive bays for SSDs

Cons: Need to research power supplies to make sure the motherboard power will reach, top 200mm fan poor quality

Overall Review: I have owned three of these cases and although they are excellent for nearly everything you throw at them, their one huge defect is the 200mm fan on top. In all three of my cases, the fan started rattling within one year of purchase. I have had two replaced under warranty and I just sent my third RMA request in yesterday for the same defect. If they get the fan issue resolved, this case would be perfect in every way. About my con re: power supply leads, make sure you research power supplies. Since the PSU sits on the bottom and most motherboards are designed nearly the same anymore, because of the size of this case, your PSU power leads may JUST make it to the top of the board. You will probably have to go around the video card for it to just reach. This thing is HUGE.
