Diablotek REACTION CPA-8817D3 Black INSIDE BLACK Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case USB 3.0 max VGA LONG CARD

Pros: Great packaging. Looks nice. Lights aren't annoying. Fit a Scythe heat sink in it... the thing is MASSIVE. Room for cable management. Mobo tray has an open back so you can take the heatsink off without removing the mobo. Paint isn't to bad either. CHEAAAAPP!

Cons: Very flimsy front panel (the metal behind the plastic). I was worried I would break it when installing fan controllers. However, this makes it light and it's fine once the plastic is back on. Also my board did have a USB3 connector, so I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with that connector. Can't use the toolfree drive installation with the removable panel. All in all I was very impressed, just a few minor issues. I would buy again.

Overall Review: Great case for a budget gaming rig. Diablotek case helped me beat Diablo! :P

Pros: Inexpensive. Front USB 3.0. No frills, no flashing laser beams for effect. Plenty of space inside. Can remove 3.5" bay plates for extended video card space. I can see how some people would think the front plastic panel looks cheap, but I don't really mind it.

Cons: Quick change tools would not work with removable bay plates (the plates you can take out for expanded video card room). Had to position SSD and HDD elsewhere. Included only 6 mobo standoff posts and only 3 mobo screws. Had to improvise to mount my ATX board. No real cable management features.

Overall Review: Good case for the price. Has features you don't see on some cases that go for 3 times as much. Just make sure you have extra screws, standoff posts and the like.

Pros: Very low cost GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128545), fits perfectly. CPU has stayed VERY cool with included case fan plus additional fan installed on front of case. Large series of red LEDs for hard drive use indicator...very easy to see! Top mounted on off button is nicely recessed. High density shipping foam saved the case from the rigors of transport.

Cons: Sheet metal is VERY thin...I think the paint doubles the thickness!

Pros: Steel case, easy access side panels, compact, big enough for full sized MB, etc. Great price point.

Cons: On/Off switch fell apart almost immediately, and is a bear to fix. Then, fell apart again. Cannot get the front panel USB 3.0, don't know why. The MB has a connector just for that, drivers installed correctly. This is the only deal breaker for me, I'm off to find another case.

Pros: USB3.0 front port with included wires to attach to motherboard easy on/off panels Comes with instructions that can get you by the basics Front panel wires are labeled at source The least expensive USB3.0 case I could find on the internet Very fast rebate

Cons: Not enough stand off screws for motherboard attachment Screw-less kits are very fragile and frustrating. Broke the plastic tabs off 3 of them before I even knew something was wrong. No exlpanation of front plate wiring in instructions. No gromets for cable management

Overall Review: My first case. Got teh job done, but required additional standoff screws as it did not contain the number listed in the manual. Screw-less kits are a joke and I replaced them all with screws. All in all, I'd say it was a decent first-build experience. Fits extra long video cards, a xigmatek 120mm upright cpu cooler, and full ATX motherboard. Stuck all the extra psu wires in the empty 5.5in bays.

Pros: Great case. Lightweight and looks great. Has an interesting 3d type front to it. Comes with a back fan. USB 3 front side. Proper plug for the USB 3 front. Plugs straight into the motherboard with no required adapter or anything. Holds my motherboard in place well.

Cons: Slightly small but it held my epic huge video card with room to spare. Light weight case must be handled with care or you could easily damage and bend areas. Being easily bent means it's probably easily repaired as well if damaged. Mine was in pristine condition upon arrival.

Overall Review: I have a lot of cables for the system so managing them was difficult as there wasn't a lot of room under the mainboard to run a lot of wires and location of the holes was a bit limiting but I used the extra space that I didn't use for other drives as a place to shove the cables. If you plan to have lots of drives you may find cable management difficult in this case. Holds my huge video card like a champ with room to spare. Plenty of airflow vents keeps my system cool even in high heat conditions. If you're worried about it, there's plenty of room for additional fans.

Pros: BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK EVER for a top mounted power supply case! USB 3.0 with the proprietary usb 3.0 cable, i think i got lucky here as the Gigabyte H77N-wifi MB has this header built in. Water cooling ports for you over-clockers and all black inside, rolled edges, screw-less, sturdy and a quiet 120mm rear fan with MB molex.

Cons: over the years when you see brands like Diablotek you wound just pass them up, but to finally make good parts and then discontinue them so quickly is just sad.

Overall Review: got 5 cases at $30 each and will buy them again and again if they ever become available again. I wound pin this case against any case twice the price. If this case had a side window for $40?? LOOKOUT!!

Pros: Cheapest case you can buy that has USB 3.0, $25 after rebate, inside is also painted all black for a nice look. Sturdy enough

Cons: Not really cons for the money but ill mention them -Front facing Hard drive bays -Thin and light -have to remove both sides of case to install drives -front plastic is a bit chinsy -I think i was missing one stand-off for the MB

Overall Review: Second Build, on the cheap. Using a power supply and a hard drive I already had, I managed to put together a i5-3570k system for <$400
