5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent case, good value, December 5, 2008

By	zuiko - See all my reviews

This is a big case, with a lot of room in front of the motherboard (a few inches on a full size ATX board), which is important now that motherboard manufacturers have all decided it is a great idea to stick hard drive connectors on the front edge of the board. That's why I had to buy a new case in the first place rather than using one of my old cases.

It is pretty well built... the fans are quiet and seem to be decent quality.

The toolless connectors work better than you would think they would by looking at them. I'm happy with them and I am definitely not a fan of the toolless chassis. The removable 3.5" bay is not toolless, but has rubber grommet vibration isolators on all the screw mounting holes, which is a nice touch. The large front mounted fan blows air through the 3.5" drive bay to keep the drives cool.

Plus it looks very good. All in all it is a very nice case, comparable to any $100 case. The only downside is no reset button... but I can live with that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good PC case., December 23, 2008

By	H. Gillan - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very good case with a smart, business like look to it.

Spacious interior yet don't expect to fit an SLI setup with large PSU into it comfortably, there is not enough room for that-

You will find the PSU cables will have to snake between the hard drives and VGA cards.

Which was what happened to me, but reducing the components to something less bulky ie. 1 VGA card and a 650w or above PSU things will look much better inside...

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent budget case -- with some caveats, May 8, 2009

By	D. Ho "Ginsumaster" (Hon., HI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This case is pretty good for the money. Depending on your needs, you may prefer the Antec 300 for about the same money.

Pros:
1. Side cooling holes for cooling mobo and videocard
2. Top cooling vents
3. Bottom-mounted PSU -- PSU can be mounted rightside or upside down.

Cons:
1. HDD cage holds 4 3.5" hdds
2. Need to buy more 3.5" cages to hold more than 4 hdds
3. Lack of extra fan mounting screws.
4. No reset button

Compare Antec 300 vs. CM 590:

Antec is better at handling hdds: 2 hdd cages x 3 hdd ea. = 6 max. CM is 4 max because of only having 1 hdd cage.

CM is better at handling 5.25" DVDs: 9 vs. 3 (Antec).

Both have bottom-mounted PSU, but CM can mount PSU right/upside down.

CM has 2 side vents: Antec only 1 (for videocard).

CM has 2 top vents: Antec 1.

Antec has reset button; CM no.

Bottom-line: Get Antec for system w/ 3-6 hdds and 3 max DVDs. Get CM for system with 4 max hdds. Both are solid values.
