Good, small, quiet, no manual

Pros: Small, slick looking. Fit most of what I needed.

Cons: Did not come with any instruction manual whatsoever. That would have come in handy when trying to put in my hard drive, since it looked like it attached to the bottom of the cd cage, but then there wasn't enough space for the motherboard/cpu/ram. I had to use the long screws that were included to put the hard drive in the cd drive bay, where there aren't HDD mounts. It would have been a lot easier to figure out with some type of manual or instruction sheet even. It's super tiny, I'm not sure how anyone could fit BOTH a hard drive AND a slim cd drive without the hdd also being slim, like SSD or something. Luckily I use mainly external USB dvd drives, but if I didn't I'd have been on the not happy side of the fence. As a side note, I must not have read that the power is an external adapter. The adapter is included, and uses a normal computer power cable for it, but I'm so used to the normal cable going directly into the box, it took me aback for a moment. I ended up duct taping the charger to the case, though I could have probably found a more elegant way of doing it.

super quiet
