Nice product for the price
By Joe in Los Angeles
I have built 3 systems with this case, so far and will use it again. It is a good product for this price range with lots of features but there are a few things that kept me from giving it 5 stars.Pro:Very light weight but sturdy. Lot's of room.I like the fact that both doors come off, access to the back is needed to remove the CPU cooler from the I7 motherboards I used. Access to both sides of the drive bay and the ability to tie wrap wiring on the back side is very nice.The "tool-less" drive install is cool but I didn't use it for the build. With a pile of screws and all the tools, I felt it was more secure to screw them down and save these for in the field upgrades.The 450W power supply is the right size for my application.Con:The fit of things could be better. The thin metal label plate for the motherboard connector on the back is maybe 1mm (or less) too small. All three had some bulge no matter how much time I spent getting it to fit, unlike the Antec cases I've use. Screw holes for the motherboard were a tiny bit off but usable. Screw holes in the drive bays were not perfect either, I ended up with one less screw (no big deal) in everything.The power supply comes with only 3 SATA style power connectors and the cable is too short to work with a DVD in the top slot and hard drives in the middle. There are a lot of Molex connectors and adapters can be used. These days I would prefer that there were more SATA and less Molex.There is no room to install a fan in the top of the case if you use a full ATX motherboard. Seems like a great place for an exhaust fan but it just doesn't fit.Not good or bad:I'm still ambivalent about the number of vents. I suspect there may be too many vents to get good airflow over all the components. When my wife leaves, I'll light a cigar and check. You do get a good view of what's inside.The lighted fan is well too much for me but others like them. I know I can replace it with something else if it bothers me. It's not enough of a distraction to pay $15 for a new fan or go in and cut the LED lead but I probably wouldn't choose it if it were an option.Overall:I like it and will buy more. The compromises in this case are very appropriate for the price.Joe

Sleek and functional!
By L. Ziel
This case has been great. It looks really sleek and a lot nicer than my last one, which was about 5 years old or so. I also love the functionality on this one as well!
