Great Case, But Broke When I Got It

Overall this case is great. The only issue I had with it was probably dropped before it got to me. The plastic clips that hold the top of the case together were all broke, but a little craftsmanship and it works fine for me now. The tool-less is kinda a joke. But it looks neat. I didn't use the included fans, but I did buy 7 red LED fans and the case lights up like a christmas tree! Very cool looking and the front panel usb and audio make it worth the money.

Awesome Case!!!

Great case , fits all my 6 hard drives with ease, asus p6x58d . using a Hydor H80. but have to drill the holes, just like dawgbone said, otherwise its good, cable management,i used the tool-less hdd adapters and worked fine ,great air flows, keeping all my system temps at 48F at max load,

Exactly What I Wanted!!! Awesome Case!!!

Great air flow! The cable management system behind the left side panel is great. All the cables that operate the top panel and more can be ran through the side panel's cable management system. It also comes with many insert plates which happen to accommodate 2.5'' SSD hard drives. The tooless drive bay clips do not provide the tightest fit but they work fine. However, for my HHD slave drive, I used the mounting screws, no big deal. For main SSD, I went with the tooless system. This is a perfect Mid-Tower choice!

Looks great, nightmare on the inside

Out of the box it looks great. Unfortunately my troubles started immediately. It says that the case accepts 140mm fans, this is NOT true. It is physically possible to put two 140mm fans up top with monumental effort but the fans will be off center. The tool-less drive bays are a nightmare and I ended up screwing everything in. Finally, cable management is a huge challenge. The case is wide enough, but short back to front. there is less than an inch between where the HD's are mounted and my video card so the cables are bent at sharp angles.

Beautiful case, but be warned

First of all, this case just looks amazing when you get it fired up. Lots of air flow options and everything stays nice and cool. It's also well laid out and the hardware is clearly marked. Just be wary of the following: 1. It's not very wide, which can make cable management a bit of a pain. 2. The back exhaust fan holes need to be re-drilled to fit the radiators for many of the newer liquid cooling systems. I got the H60 and the holes are off by about half an inch. Not a deal breaker, but be ready. 3. I'm not a fan of the tool-less drive bays. If you look at the photos of the inside, you can see each panel has a plastic cover with a red X on it. You clip those into the drive which holds it in place. You also need to attach hard drives to an insert plate (it comes with several, so no worries about running out). I actually found it easier to screw the drives in than use the tool-less system.
