The screw-less design for all drive bays enables easy and quick installation. The included 2.5" SSD / HDD adapter allows you to easily install two 2.5" SSD / HDDs into one 3.5" HDD slot.
OTHER THOUGHTFUL DESIGNS
The top-mounted I/O panel offers one USB 3.0 port for super-fast data transfer, two USB 2.0 ports, and audio out & mic in jacks.
The advanced bottom-mounted PSU design enables independent and optimized PSU cooling. The PSU's shock-proof pad reduces vibration and annoying noise.
The easy-to-clean dust filters keep your computer clean and protected from dust.
Pros: The case is well built and painted on the inside which I like. They include a carriage for installation of a 2.5" drive which is nice. Tool less drive installation and awesome airflow. It's a good looking case as far as I'm concerned.
Cons: I do have a couple complaints though. As others mentioned, the cable management is terrible. There is also no standby light on the case, which is annoying. My biggest complaint is that the fan at the top and the front use standard molex connections without the yellow sensor wire. So there is no way to plug them into any of the 4 Fan headers on my motherboard. That means that there is no way to control fan speed. It just makes for a loud case.
