ABS Canyon 695 4 x140mm Fan Multiple Heat Zones Aluminum Super Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: This case is the best PC case on the market in my opinion (IMO). With its seprate heat zones providing cool air intake and hot air exhaust in the most critical areas, all the while doing it very quietly. With cool air being blown directly accros all the hard drives and exhausted out with dual 80mm fans, this case succeeds at helping to protect against hard drive failure from excessive heat. I am really very impressed with how this case has droped my motherboard temperatures down by 10*C and my CPU temps by 5*C. This case is very well constructed. Look at its features and rest assured that they all work and work well.

Cons: I can hardly say this case has any real cons but here are my experiences that would fit in this category. I noticed a rattleing in the front of my case and found that a few of the screws were loose and simply needed to be tightened. A very simple fix, but honestly I shouldn't have had to do that. This next statement may not soley be the fault of the case, but its simply a problem I had when transfering my PC hardware over to the new case. Everything installed well and when I first booted up I would get to my desktop but the PC would freeze up. I found that it was because of my sound card not being completely seated in its PCI slot. This was because of the removable motherboard tray. I needed to loosen the securing screws of the motherboard tray and press the tray twards the inside of the case and then resecure the screws. This gave me the clearance I needed to properly secure my sound card. Now everything is working great.

Overall Review: Yeah this case is expensive and I would have rather paid $499 for it, but I do love it and do not feel any sense of buyers remorse like I have on other products. I would love to answer any questions anyone has about this case but unfortuneatly NewEgg does not allow reviews to contain any sort of contact information. So I hope this review helps assure anyone considering buying this case that if you do dig deep in your pockets you won't be dissapointed.

Pros: Drive space, cooling, excellent materials, easy to clean and easy to work inside.

Cons: A very large PSU might be a little tight for cabling and my cat sometimes steps on the top power button (cats fault and my fault...not really a problem with the case)

Overall Review: I buy cases to use for years so though the cost is high I did not put that as a negative since I could see clearly what I was going to pay and planned my budget accordingly. I also knew I was getting a big case...it is very big so don't think you can just tuck it away under a table or a desk. I live in a small apartment in NYC and have to remind my guests not to use it as an end table. The reason I have to give this case 4 stars instead of 5 is that I had to get a 1000 watt PSU and I got one from Corsair and the cables just barely fit past the tray. Perhaps another high watt PSU would have been better but I expected this case to have space for everything and not just space for everything but a tight fit for my 1000 watt Corsair PSU..but it did fit and the cables did fit so I was not put out by this. The rest of the space is amazing. It was so nice to not have to worry about putting in a huge heatsink and fan and dual video cards. And the fans work great and are quiet.

Pros: Great looking case! The brushed aluminum look is awesome. Very spacious also. This is my first build so I was worried about putting everything together, but this has so much space that I had no problems. I was able to run all of the cables pretty neatly. All of the fans work and are quiet, and the hotswap works with 150gb WD Velociraptors. It came with all necessary nuts bolts cables.

Cons: I wish the instructions were a bit clearer. Being a novice I struggled a little bit wanting to make sure that I did everything right. The price is high, but it is a very nice case

Overall Review: No buyers remorse at all. Well worth the money to me.

Pros: First off this case is huge, i figured it was big by looking at the dimensions but when you see this in person and have all your parts in it you can really see how big this thing is. Plenty of room to hold all my components and wires without a problem. The video card rack is nice since my card is so long its nice to have support on the back of it. Four adjustable fans is also a plus. Sound insulation is excellent even with all the fans running at full speed it is very quiet, when playing games or watching movies its pretty much silent. Excellent case.

Cons: It is a little pricy but you get what you pay for. Not really a con but the fan switch is blocked the by the dust screen so you have to pull it up to change the speeds. The drive bays are a pain to screw in cause you have to go through the little opening in the front and if you have a long screwdriver a pain on the reverse too.

Overall Review: I feel that this case was worth the price, even though it is expensive. It has plenty of room to hold everything. My huge video card and heatsink had no trouble fitting in here. Some people complain about how the optical drives come sideways, for me this was better than straight out. Its just something to consider when purchasing that you have enough room on the left or right for them to come out.

Pros: hot swap is the best! Once you start using it you'll love it. The side panels remove like butter so its no trouble getting to your drives. I only bought it because I got it for VERY cheap with a intel ssd combo, now that I own it, I would never buy a different brand.

Cons: The 2 optical options, wish I could have a third. The optical drives are $crewed (newegg found that word offensive) in, and a pain to get the cables to fit. Once you get it you won't want to mess with it. Wish there was more room for ssd's. (they shorted me 2 unique screws for my hot swaps) And I guess I was hoping they would have a cleaner cable setup and not a buncha cheap fan connectors laying loose.

Overall Review: Put your ssd where the floppy drive goes under the opticals. Label your sata's brackets with clear tape, once they are in you can't read the label so you end up pulling 4 drives before you get the one you wanted. Label your primary drive at least. Sometimes windows will identify the insert of a drive, if not use http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/mountvol.mspx?mfr=true in cmd with escalated privileges tpye #> mountvol [Drive:]Path VolumeName . But you must stop it before you pull it just type #>mountvol j: /d just like the man page says. That is windows 7 ultimte 64 may work elsewhere.

Pros: I searched for a quite a while, looking for a case with some decent size to it. Even a lot of the cases today that claim they are "full towers" are really not, by my definition of the term. Now this sucker... THIS is a tall, fat tower. It fits under my desk with about 2 inches to spare. * Materials (Brushed Aluminum) * Space * Heat Zones * Motherboard Tray (removable) * Fans & Air Flow * Accessories such as cables, screws, etc. * Hot Swappable SATA backplane * Very easy to open side panels * Sound insulation on side panels

Cons: * 140mm fans are not really the "standard" like 120mm fans. This is only a problem if you're going to use those fans with some other accessories that actually require * Needed to ensure I got the right WD Raptor and Velociraptor drives so they would plug into the backplane. Luckily, I read some of that information here before I purchased back in Nov-Dec 2008. * No side-window * Need some better cable-management (if this is really a con). It's just that the case is very tall, so longer cables are typically required in this case and it also needs to place to put them as they are run.

Overall Review: I can say that this is the best case I've puchased, and I did manage to get it for $100 off. :) When I was looking for a case for my new Core i7 build, I read and saw some crazy reviews of this case. I was considering the Antec 1200, but this case trumped it in overall build quality (solid) and roominess. I am looking at the Corsair H50 water-cooling system, but have run across a small issue where the radiator is set-up to use 120mm fans versus the 140mm which I have. I have purchased an adapter from 140mm -> 120mm, but am a little worried about how it will impact the overall case performance. We'll see how it goes.

Pros: ALMOST plenty of room for everything! Very lightweight. Very quiet. Very cool, temperature wise. Adjustable case fans. (if connected to the onboard fan speed controller) Well organized thermal zones. Wire management is almost top-notch. Will accept MOST power supplies. Side-ejecting reversible optical mounting is TOO cool. Will handle three-way SLI, no problem, with eight expansion slots. Removable motherboard tray is a plus. Removable front ar filter is SICK! Fans are really quiet, even on MAX. Sie panel for mobo access is PAD-LOCKABLE. Lastly, the hot-swap hard drive bays tops it off, removing drives is easy as 1-2-3. It's appearance is one that isn't gawdy- just ready for business, whether it's gaming or processing big video encoding jobs.

Cons: These are the cons, or the things I would do differently, had I designed this tower. First, the fan speed controller is only accessible, once you remove the front panel and filter. (both remove easily) Next, the routing of wires after the power supply is installed can be a little tricky, especially if you have big hands. (they will be bumping into the optical drive supports) Next, there is only room for two optical drives, so if you want to use this as a CD or DVD duplicator, forget it. Next, you can only remove the motherboard tray with ALL expansion cards removed, unlike some cases made by L1@n-L1. PRICE IS A BIT STEEP and is not very consistent. I would say this box is worth 400 easy. I STILL could use two more hard drive bays and an additional optical drive bay. Shows greasy fingerprints EASY. The side panels can take time to get lined up, due to how the optical drives mount.

Overall Review: I thought this would be the ultimate case for a particular build I was doing for one of my customers. It seem to fit the bill for everything that he wanted the machine to do. Here is the parts list: MOBO: eVga X58 E760 Classified CPU: Inter Core i7 920 OC'd to a MILD 3.2GHz RAM: 6 GB Corsair Dominator 1600MHz HARD DRIVES: (4) 300 GB Velociraptors in a RAID 5 & (2) WD 1 TBs in a RAID 1 BLUE-RAY BURNER: Pioneer BDR-205BKS DVD BURNER: Plextor PX-880SA POWER SUPPLY: ABS SL 850 VIDEO CARDS: (2) eVga GTX 285s in SLI OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit

Pros: This really is the case to get if your goal, like mine, was to build a HTPC and gaming PC in one. The airflow generated within the case is sufficient to cool high end overclocked components, and there is plenty of room and large after market coolers. The case is also whisper quiet, I can hardly notice any noise at all when I power it on. It's quiet during movies, and keeps your rig cool while gaming, truly the best of both worlds.

Cons: There is no included adapter for plugging a SSD drive into the hard drive backplate. A minor issue, but if you have a SSD drive for your operating system, it will have to go into on of the upper drive bays. I wish there was more room behind the motherboard backplate for routing cables. Would be nice to use that space to eliminate so of the cable clutter.

Overall Review: I have the four 140mm fans connected to the front panel speed controller. The case makes no noise even at the medium speed setting. Coupled with an ATI 5870 and a Noctua NH-U12 cooler, the system is virtually silent. Perfect for watching movies, and the six hotswappable HDD bays give me plenty of room to add HDD to store my movie collection. It is expensive, but this case really was exactly what I wanted. A case that could hold enough HDD for a movie collection, could playback full quality blu-ray movies without producing background noise, and kept componenets cool during gaming. In all these areas, it performs admirably.
