Pros: - Bomb-proof construction (see other thoughts) - Nearly silent with fan management - Ample space - Excellent airflow

Cons: - Very large. Not a con for me but just check the specs - Could never get the USB 3.0 to function properly

Overall Review: This was my first gaming build so of course there was some frustration but that's not important. What IS important is that this build fell off a 24" tall platform not once, but TWICE, and survived. Some plastic broke off of the front and my HDD died (fell on concrete both times) but I was able to superglue it back together and it STILL kept roaring. How many cases can you say that about? in addtiion the large fans and quiet but move a lot of air. Live in a very hot climate and no problems despite no water cooling. With MOB fan management could lower the fans and still get good temps year round. Finally retired her today and moved my components into a 500R. Nothing wrong with the 500R, but my next build will be in the CM again, although I will need to switch out those red LEDs. Can only look at one color for so long.
