It was my first build all on my own. This case was simple and had enough room for all the drives and vid cards. They should have a more user friendly manaul with more information.
Great Case!

Very happy with this case. I used to to build a custom gaming computer for a customer. Alot of room to work. Easy to attach hard dives. The side is very nice with the clear and the fan. Comes with the nicer, larger size fans. Very nice for the price! The customer was very happy. I also love the External SATA port =) Great buy!
Solid case

Great case and even better cooling performance. I'm running quad core and twin 9800gtx+ and cooling has been great with no over heat. Cpu at 37c and case temp at 30c running on ultra settings. I would recommend to any one. The down side is cable management.
Slick, cool case

This was the home of my first build and I couldn't have asked for more. The plexiglas came cracked on the case but wasn't too big of a deal to me.
Good support from NZXT when I couldn't get the thermometers working.

I bought this case around end of Feb. this year and because of minor hiccups(not the case) I had her up and running fully by beginning of March. I have the 920 phenom cpu w/ Asus mb and OCZ Fatality ps that glows red. It's the best case I've ever owned and everything went in in a breeze. Some people say the fans don't work well, but mine work just fine. The only problem I have is my cpu heat sink fan is too big so I can't use the side fan yet. I'm going to convert that fan to the outside and it should work just fine. Even so w/ only two fans usable besides the cpu fan my temps are below what they should be. Even when I run WOW.
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.

Case Buying Guide
Your computer case is the most visible and important parts of your system.
It not only houses your internal components, but also protects your PC against
heat damage. With so many different cases available on the market choosing
the ideal chassis for your PC isn't always an easy process. Click on our
handy guide to find 6 important questions you should answer before you buy
your case.
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 .
