Excellent!, (What's this?) I'm writing this review on my new rig just built last night in one of these cases.
Great Case, (What's this?) This case is pretty amazing. It comes with a front-loaded hot swap bay for SATA II 2.5" hard drives, two pre-installed case fans, plenty of hard drive bays, bottom-mounted 2.5" drive holes for an SSD or hard drive, and a cable management panel. With all these features, I should have bought another one. This case is just about perfect. The only issue with it is the top-mounted case fan is just a few millimeters too close to where the top of the motherboard goes, requiring my to break off the clips for my power connector for them to fit. As long as I don't move my case while it's on, that isn't a problem. Other than that minor problem this is the best case I've ever bought for a computer build.
For gaming or home theater!, Bought two of these a few months ago when there was a special on the case plus an Antec Neo-Eco 520-watt power supply for basically the price of the case plus an extra $2.
Built a home theater PC using an Intel Core-i3 540 processor, 4GB of memory, a USB wireless-n adapter and a Blu-Ray drive. This thing runs so cool that I disconnected the big fan at the top of the case, making it nice & quiet. We play Blu-Ray and DVD movies, stream Netflix over the wireless connection (good strong signal from next room), and do a little light gaming as well as some photo and video editing. We also run our magicJack internet telephone device on this computer. The Core-i3 processor runs cool and doesn't use much power so the whole project is affordable to have running all day. Next project is to rip our CD collection to the hard drive so the computer can double as a music server/jukebox.
Great Case, (What's this?) I love this case. It's just the right size to fit under my desk, it looks nice, and has plenty of room for expansion. Definitely recommend.
OK for the price, (What's this?)
Awesome budget case!, Pros: - Looks very nice.
- Solid and well built.
- Quiet fans.
- Well ventilated without being a dust magnet
Cons: - No case speaker included.
- Shows fingerprints.
Other Thoughts: This is the nicest case I've ever had. I bought it to replace my old Raidmax Cobra 822.
Great price, keeps things cool., (What's this?) I don't think it gets much better for the price. I love the huge 2-speed fans (with controls on the outside of the case, unlike the Antec 300). This is the second one I have bought - it's a quality product.
This case is fairly quiet. I use it for music production. I have added some acoustic foam and I am going to add some more. It's not designed to be quiet, but I needed something with lots of air flow because my processor runs really hot and the CPU fan is insanely loud (stock AMD cooler).
