I have had this case for about 6 months now. I have had absolutely no problems with this case. When I originally installed my dvd drive it wouldn't stay in place. Very disappointed! I took my time and checked it out. The only problem with not holding a drive in place is a matter of very slight adjustments to the side rails. The drive needs to fit snug and square. If it doesn't a very slight adjustment to rails and you get a good secure fit. Took about 30 seconds to adjust and secure. Second one I knew what to do and it took about 15 seconds to install. Both units have been in and out a couple of times and they always lock right back into place. Absolutely a great system when properly adjusted.
My side covers work perfectly. When I have had a issue with one being contrary to close it has always been a wire that has gotten in the way.
The fans are supposed to blow air THROUGH the case... not just into it! Leave them mounted the way they come! Expensive case but very good value!

very good case,excellent cooling,touch sensitive power, this gets a rating of 4 stars because it's not truly tooless. I had to screw in my dvd drives b/cause case dosent do a good job of holding them. u have to screw in the HDD's in the HDD cage. Despite what some ppl ma say THERE IS NO NEED TO SLAM ANYTHING on this case. If u have to slam the side pannels ur doing something WRONG. Accssing my components is a charm; cept for the HDD's.

--note: THIS CASE IS SO HUGE YOU CAN FIT A CONTORTIONIST IN IT. Still had chalk marks from machining. Lots of room and very simple to put together. Has fans galore.. but some of them were facing out so had to turn them in screwing cooler master fans in was hard pretty sure I stripped a few screws. Two problems though the latches that hold DVD player / fan controller don't really hold I can push the hardware inside but not overly problematic. And the side door with the fan is a bugger in the sense that its hard to close. Tricky at first, place both hands at the top griping the bar with both thumbs facing down on panel. Then forcefully SLAM AS HARD AS YOU CAN.

Great case, lots of room inside, incredibly large 200mm side fan, and looks great. This case is made by coolermaster and so just to start off with i also bought the coolermaster V8 cpu cooler until im able to afford a watercooling system. As you can see both products are made by coolermaster, but when your V8 cpu cooler is mounted on your cpu, your unable to close the side door which has your 200mm side fan? WOW! What a surprize, door wont close if you remove the 200mm side fan!!!! It was a big dissapointment knowing that both products are by coolermaster and is unable to be put together!!!!

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 .
