I purchased this case for my office --- yes, for my office. It runs an AMD XP 2600+ and a ATI Radeon 9200+ video card, one DVD+/-RW drive, with an ASUS motherboard and two 80G harddrive. Yeah, the total power is limited so that they do not exceed the 350W.

The good:

1. It is very very quiet, almost dead silent, with very little air blow out of power supply actually.

2. Two front USBs.

3. Not quite big in dimension but enough room inside.

4. Quality power supply. I used this case for more than a year and did not hear any degradation (say, increasing of noise). The power supply worths $55+shipping itself. At $80 I purchased for both case and power supply, it is very good value.

The bad:

1. Lack of front earphone jack.

2. If you are targeting of new video card (6800 ultra or 7800 GTX) or running 6 hard drives, the power supply may not provide enough power.

I have been building computers for 10 years now and I can't say anything but great things about this case. The ease of opening the case when you want to add more memory or another hard drive is the best! No Issues there! I have had those cases where you have to do the "Miagi" hand rub and be lucky that you could just get one of the sides of your case to slide open. Trying to put it back on was just another adventure in itself.

With the Antec SLK3700-BQE they definitely thought about the consumer and the "fun" of building a computer. One of the things I dreaded most was opening that damn case, with the Antec no problem. Another nice feature of this case, it's as if they put some thought into the ease of where your hardware would go. They have organized this case very nicely.....this is my first Antec case and let's just say I won't ever go back to anything else but Antec. NICE JOB GUYS!
