I purchased this case about three weeks ago, the shippign said it would take 5-9 buisness days, got here in two! not only that, the case came in a HUGE outter box so it made me even mroe excited, when i finally opend the boxes and got the case out, i was amazed, this thing is massive, its got 5 tray slots, and a floppy slot, The clear sidint is as easy to get off as it is easy to spell Mom, unscree two bolts and BAM!, and a peice of advice for anyone who is doing a first time build like i was, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!!! i really should of, because i didnt know what stand offs where, i just assumed they ere extra cool looking screws, so i screwed the motherboard RIGHT to the case, and what does step one say on the instructons? Put the stand offs into the screw holes, i wish i would of seen that lol, but anyway i finally screwed int he stand offs, popped ont he motehr board put n my hard drive and DVD burner, did some cable management, (Which i need to redo), put in my green neon, and i was good to go, except for the PCI slots, i didnt know how to release them so i kinda just well, Pushed the plastic leaver and snappend one in half so now i have a open PCI slot lol, probobly also in the instructions is how to relase them little clamps. But now, I am sad to say...I will be selling my computer to be a car because i just turned 16 and get my licence soon, i have over 1 grand into this thing easy, But to anyone tho is thinking about buying this case, i STRONGLY urge you to do it, Its SUper sexy and keeps my mothermoard nice and cool..By the way the video is my vid drom youtube, so you dont have to rate or comment lol

This case doesnt look as cheap in person as the pics, it looks alot like a alienware case. Only thing i didnt like was the front door is plastic. Case overall is great might have a space problem if ur trying to run 2 video cards in it because i have a 8800 gtx and it barely fits. 2 would probally fit but i think it might have overheating issues due to the cramped spaces..
lights look nice not to much just enough so u know its on..

Like the case OK,all has worked great. Only complaint I can think of at this time is, I would prefer the USB ports be located on the front rather than the side.
Otherwise,very satisfied with the Apollo.

I have built many PCs and have seen many types of cases. There are many that are better than this model but I have not found any better for the PRICE. This case is light but sturdy, has some nice features such as snap in drive rails and looks good to match. There is ample space inside for most boards and video card layouts. The lighting is stylish but not overkill. I like the side facing HDD bays where a swap or addition of a hard drive is just a snap and slide. Unlike some cheap cases, this one actually comes with a decent manual and the included hardware isn't all that bad. I have bought both black and silver models. The finish isn't cheap but because it is shiny it will show fingerprints. I would buy this case anytime someone wanted a cheaper build model that doesn't look cheap.

I have the black one, and here's what I think:

Pros:
Looks great, cool blue lighting, big window, comes with 2 120mm fans and space for another in front. Fans help a bit with cooling. Reset button hidden behind door so you don't press it accidentally. Completely tool-less installation for everything other than PCI cards once you get the motherboard and PSU in. You'll want to use a screw to secure PCI cards, although they do have a tool-less clip for that as well.

Cons:
Fans are not the greatest. Could have been wider to accommodate bigger heatsinks: fits my Cooler Master Hyper N520 but won't fit a V8 or something of similar size without taking off the side fan. The door doesn't stay open all the way, but barely enough to get my CD drives to open. 5 5.25" bays aren't necessary, would have been better off with a few more 3.5" ones.

Putting together my computer with this case was a breeze. Other than the mobo Nothing else required screws. It gives easy access to the internals so you don't have to worry about damaging it if something goes. Overall a worthwhile purchase.

Every aspect for a perfect build and no cons what so ever.
I could go on and on about how happy I am with this case but I won't.
If your looking for a trouble free case that looks great this is the one to get.

If you want to feel like using a supermoderm computer, this is the case you should use, Woww!! is the word that my friends and relatives say when they watched it.

Great Mid tower case, plenty of room inside, al the bays are screwless, rails included to mount HDD, well designed, clear view, blue leds at front, 2 x 120mm fans included, one is cool blue, other is black. Excellent price for a nice pc case, very satisfied.

This computer case is an excellent deal for the price. It is stylish and the blue lights are brightly displayed. I purchased the silver one and it compliments my system perfectly. I would of given it 5 stars but it has no gauges for temp. I would recommend this case to others.
