LEDs Rock!
Pros: Very Nice LEDs. Glass panel. Fold out Modo tray. Decent Powersupply. Good fans. Very easy to open up the case. Plenty of room for extras.
Cons: How the door opens up makes me have to have the case stick out of where it sits. Sata power cable is waaaay too short. Should have at least included an extender. I was forced to put my DVD-ROM drive in the bottom slot because the cable couldent reach both my HD and dvd-rom drive. Mobo tray is very nice but you cant fold it out when everything is plugged in because the power cables are too short from the PSU. The fold out fan thing is stupid. If your going to play with things by laying the case on its side, the folding thing gets in the way and cant be proped back by it self. For the people that demand a quiet case,this case will always hum even when idle.
Overall Review: Yes thats alot of cons, but nothing too serious and are all bearable. I dont open my case up everyday. My setup is a 2.8ghz AMD dual core. EN8800GT. 2gib dual channel ram. Gigabyte mobo. This is a mid range gaming PC. I dont recommend this case if any one is going to be dropping in any 280s or 4870s even if your going to buy a new PSU. Over all, if your looking from something to house your silicon, comes with a PSU and look nice in the process, this is a case for you.
8-pin Watchout!!!
Pros: Micro ATX board but has the musle of a standard ATX board. Cheap
Cons: AH! this thing requires a 8-pin!!! you only find those on higher end PSUs. My PSU that i bought doesn't have one. Great. I have to buy an adapter for it now.
Overall Review: I dont get it. It seems like a budget mobo, but it requires a plug that only comes with higher end PSUs? DON'T buy this if your building a budget computer. Your going to be kicking yourself if made the same mistake i did. Unless you want to spend the 5 bucks on a adapter. Now i have to wait another 3 days for this adapter to come. Lesson learn. read the specs thoroughly
