I bought this case over 2 months ago, best move that i've made. Case has enough room for everything i needed to add to it.. Added 1 more 80mm fan on the clear side cause there was a spot for it.Machine runs cool. I did order a 1000w PSU for it so not sure about the PSU that came with it.The only bad thing about it is the the way the door swings on front of the case, i needed it to swing the opposite way :).. Thanks to mu buddy Cameron at Infotel, i got a Damn Good Case!.....John

This case looks amazing and is very roomy. It was able to house my massive CPU cooler with room to spare. Everything mounted just fine and wires have plenty of room to hide. It also has 3 massive fans keeping everything nice and cool, it also has a spot for one more smaller fan. However, the metal is a bit thin, but shouldn't cause any problems. Some of the wires in the case had to be stretched in order to reach their designated places on the MOBO. Overall, I would recommend this case to anyone, its looks and roomy interior are amazing for the price. The power supply is a bit weak but just replace it with a stronger one.

This ''case'' get a 5. But the PSU that comes with it should be called a POS. The 450 watt power supply is junk. The pins a week and the just fell out. Which sucks because the free power supply that came with it is the reason i bought the case. Be warned buy a power supply if you buy this case.

Got this case in about a month ago, pulled it out of the box and got to work. Pulled off the PSU and installed a 700 watt, Case is easy to manuever around in and has plenty of room for a massive heat sinc. Only problem I've had with it is the light below my door went out a couple days into the system being fully running. Love all the fans it came with, have had no problems with them yet, added another 80mm on the clear side since there was a port there, not that it needed it. Lights up the room like its christmas at night.

The case looks great. Shipped in about a week (Granted I'm in Wyoming) so not to bad on that part. The clear side tends to attract dust and the packing foam (static). Comes with 1 - 140mm 2 - 120mm fans (intake ans exhaust) which keeps the case running nice and cool. The LEDs are a nice touch to the fan, but dont tend to light up the entire case unless the room is totally dark. (I put in 3 more green LEDs and it works great. One con about the setup, the PSU screws were loose during shipping and they bent the back of the case slightly. Other than that, no complaints. It runs great and looks better.
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.

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 .
