The case is well built and a great value, but I wish it would have come with at least one case fan. Other than that I am perfectly happy with my purchase.

For the price, this is a pretty good case. I would only use this for building a cheaper system. I don't understand some of these other reviews. It was easy to install the components. NO case fans. So, you would have to purchase fans for this case. My system with this case runs very quietly and ample room for airflow.

It was very difficult to install CD and Hard Drives in this unit as the holes don't line up with the drives. In addition, there are no holes on the right side of the unit thereby making it very difficult to mount the drives. Another annoyance is that the LED lights in the front are very bright and almost blinding.


I'd buy another

I bought this case as kit, it arrived in perfect condition. The drive bays worked fine for what I installed. I had no issues with fit, everything mounted securely. We did have an issue getting the graphics card to lock tightly with the plastic tooless latches in the rear, the case came with screws, so we just removed the plastic lock assembley, and inserted all screws. The motherboard fit just fine, the front ports, buttons, and lights all work as they should. The only reason I gave the quality a 3, was over the plastic locks in the back.

Assembling Barebones Computer Kits & Computer Cases
Remember when assembling one of our money-saving Barebone Computer Kits, or installing your existing computer components into a new computer case, you may have to modify the case to fit your components - This Is Normal!  Cases are designed to hold and accommodate a wide variety of motherboards, interface cards, connectors, and other components.  Because of this, the case manufacturer designs their cases with easily removable panels to allow these components to properly fit in the case.  All you need to do is punch them out with a screw driver or fold them over with a pair of pliers to snap out the metal piece for your exact components.  In this way, you save the cost of assembling your computer, and have the satisfaction of building your own workstation.

PLEASE NOTE:  Carefully read all documentation BEFORE you start to assemble your Barebones Kit or add components to a Computer Case.  Some components need to be assembled in a specific order.  Also place the components in the case temporarily to confirm any modifications (punch outs) that need to be made to fit that component.

Got Enough Memory? Bet You'll Need More!
Windows Vista and today's software applications make much greater demands on your system's memory. Adding peripherals, like webcams, USB hard drives, and complex Internet pages, all take memory. Watching DVD movies, or watching videos on the web, or playing PC based games demand increased memory. So take full advantage of your system's potential, your operating system's enhancement and entertainment capabilities, and your software's productivity by expanding your system memory!

The best time to add more memory is when you buy your system! Get the memory that's right for your computer, whether laptop, desktop, or All-In-One. Click Here for our Memory Upgrade Options. »

Shared Memory? Or Where Did My Memory Go?
Your computer uses memory to run your Operating System, applications, peripherals, and to generate and display graphics on your computer monitor. Video memory is a form of RAM, and is either built into your motherboard; or on a graphics card (video card). Depending on the motherboard's configuration, and that of the video card (if separate or built-in to the motherboard), your computer may have to draw on its own RAM memory to meet its video memory needs. This creates shared memory, where your computer’s RAM will be shared between its own Processor (CPU) and its graphics chip.

The result is that some systems will have shared memory, some will not. If you have 2GB (for example) of system memory installed, you may notice that your system reports significantly less memory. This is because your system is using shared memory for your video.

What can you do about this?
You can actually configure this shared memory through your computer’s BIOS settings. However, this is a setting best left alone, since it is typically optimized for display performance, and making changes may impact display resolutions, and other video capabilities.

The simplest solution is usually to either: increase your system memory; or to upgrade the video hardware. By upgrading to a new video card with built-in video memory, then turning off shared memory, you will free your system to use it's maximum potential memory, and provide your system with much more robust video features.

How Much Memory Do You Really Have?
When you look at the specifications for a computer, it will display the installed memory, and typically the maximum memory that can be installed. However, while these are real values, they represent a potential useable memory depending upon the installed operating system, and other factors. The actual useable memory may be different (lower) from these values. The reason is simply that a computer may have a limitation in the operating system (such as Windows 32 bit versions), or configured to use shared memory, which reduces the amount of RAM that is available to the CPU by using some of it for other purposes, such as for video memory. In some cases, you can control the maximum useable memory through system settings, by upgrading from a 32 bit to a 64 bit version of Windows XP or Vista, or by upgrading to a video card that has internal onboard video memory.

But always remember, that the amount of memory that your system reports, is not always the amount of actual installed memory. For example, if you have 4GB installed, 32 bit versions of Windows will typically report 3.2GB due to a limitation of Windows itself.  Also note that different Windows programs report available and maximum memory differently, which can be confusing. If you find that you need more memory, we suggest expanding your system memory, since this is the most effective performance increase, and the one that is easiest to perform .
