Pretty Functional Case for the Money!

Very cool case for under $100! It looks Awesome and is quite well built. Has cooled bays for 2 3.5'' hard drives and up to 4 2.5'' hard drives or SSD's. Stock fans cool very well combined with a good CPU cooler! I have only 3 complaints, the 2 lower hot swap drive bays are not cooled by the front 120mm fan, I have tried installing a hard drive in the lower bays and they don't appear to read correctly. and finally, the exterior fit and finish could be better, the door on the front for the hot swap bays has very stiff hinge points (I am afraid I am going to break it trying to get it open), and the Paint spalled off in a spot just at the edge of the one side panel while closing it!(left a white spot i had to touch it up)!! But still good case for the money

If you are looking for a case this is it!

Amazing case, very smooth, no rough edges everything very polished and very smooth looking. Only complaint is if you are running 2x 120 mm fans its kinda hard to see the computer unless you have a few lights, The case side has the option for a HUGE 200 MM fan. the fans that come with the case are VERY quiet although i dont feel them pushing a ton of air either, Top has spots for multiple fans or a radiator. i put a small fan controller in this case also, works amazing, the screenshots do this case no justice. (i rated 4 on performance because i had to install 4 more fans to get the airflow i needed for overclocking, if i was a home user this would be an easy 5, this case gets TONS of air and im a fan of a negative pressure system) Love it.

Excellent case

An excellent case where you can add hardware. Lots of room too. Changing out video cards is a snap; no tight places so easy assess for the retaining screw. takes 120mm case fans. I've installed five blue led fans. Note: The front fan appears not look as if it is not to be rotating, but it does

Great case

I'm running this as the case in my gaming build and straight out of the box it was quite a bit larger than I expected. Plenty of space for all your parts and to expand your build when you need to. The fans run very quiet and put out a good stream of air to keep your parts running cool. Also room to expand and add extra fans for those builds like mine that require extra cooling.

Obliterated on arival

All the clips on the case were broken. The fetures and performance are 3 because I didn't get to try them out

Worth Twice the Price !

Quality Case! Huge amount of room, my ASUS motherboard plus a massive size graphics card and all other components went in easily and fit perfectly. The 2.5 inch slots are great - 2.5 inch hybrid hard drive slid in perfectly and locked in place nice and solid. Blue LED case fan is bright, quiet and moves air nicely. I have zero complaints on this case and will buy it again for my next build.

Love this case

I bought this case over all others even though it only had 7 reviews and not all of them good. My criteria was simple...upgradable to water cooling later, use EATX and as many fans for the money. This blew the others away for the price and the hot swap bay is a really nice feature, wasn't that hard to set up (common sense really). I really like the fact you can have 2 size HDD's installed (2.5 and 3.5) and really liked the sliding screws for the DVD rom drive. When I bought this I bought also bought another 3 120mm thermaltake fans for it at the same time and it's taken my processor temps from 40 to 31.5 degrees. Highly recommend this case.

Overall Good

Overall, this is a nice case, good cable management for cables in the back, but there are 2 downfalls. 1. Hole for working on CPU from the back is not really aligned for AMD, especially for Asus boards, so do that work before putting the board in. 2. Front panel audio has interference issues with the HDD light showing activity.

Don't believe the Specs

I researched a lot of cases to find one that would fit in my 18 and a half in high desk opening. Since this one listed the height as 17 in. it seemed perfect. I was extremely disapointed when I opened the box and found the actual height is about 19 and a half in. Apparently someone in china cant read a tape measure.

great case

This case is pretty good, best case i have bought. its huge which is nice the cable managment could of been a bit better and the cd drive screws dont work the right other then some small issues this case is great
