5.0 out of 5 stars Spacious, GREAT looking, AMAZING COOLING, April 1, 2009

By	F. Severino "DuKeS15" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

============================== Pros ====================================

1. Very big and spacious. Plenty of room to work with.

2. Rolled edges. Didn't nick myself once while putting my build together.

3. It includes all the necessary screws, came with 6 studs already firmly installed and 3 more in the screw bag.

4. Includes the 5.25-to-3.5 adapter for your floppy or card reader etc.

5. Includes 4, yes 4 Blue LED TriCool fans that are VERY quiet but highly efficient. 3x120mm and 1 200mm at the top. An extra (optional) 120mm fan mount is included in the side window as well.

6. Speed control for ALL the fans on the outside of the case is a VERY, VERY nice touch. I keep all my fans on low and temperature on my system is about 35C.

Also, the Big Boy fan's LED can be turned off from the outside of the case as well.

7. Removable air filters for all intake fans. Another nice touch.

8. Removable HDD cages *** NOTE***

9. Black interior is SEXXXAYYY!

10. Plenty of space behind the motherboard tray for cable management and good location of cable routing holes.



============================= Cons ======================================

1. ***NOTE *** The ONE complaint I have is the fact that you HAVE to remove both side panels to access the Hard Drive cages. This is the only thing I can think of that can be improved on this case.

In order to clean the two front fan's dust filters I will need to always undo both sides, take out ALL screws, and THEN I get to pull out the cage and remove the dust filter for cleaning.

I guess it's not that big a deal to some people but I plan on keeping my case as clean as possible so will probably have to go through that process every 2-3 months depending on dust build up.

Also, another way to get around that is to only secure the drive cages with the screws on the side with the window. That way all you'd have to do is undo those 8 screws and be able to pull out the drive cages.



============================ Other Thoughts =============================

Other than the PIA that is gaining access to the dust filters, this thing is 100% SUPERB!

I forgot to mention up there that the side window on this one is big enough to show off all your hardware but also covers the screws that secure the HDD cages. Nice.

This was my very first build ever and it was very easy and was a smooth process mainly due to this case being so accessible.

Originally I was going to get the Antec 300. But I saved up the extra money and got this one instead. Do not regret it at all. This case should last me for many builds to come.

If you're looking for a midtower case I highly recommend this one if you can afford it. Very sturdy construction, great cooling and amazing looks. All-in-One.

F.S.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great case for home builds, March 8, 2009

By	Deedub "Decorate4fun" (Los Altos, CA) - See all my reviews

This case is great - I would rate it 4.5 if Amazon let me as it is almost perfect for me. Big, roomy with good ventilation and the steel keeps things pretty cool. Fans are pretty quiet given that there are many and the location of them.
I would have liked that the fan cables would have been better protected or have additional some cable management options specifically for them. Speaking of cable management, it is generally done very well in this case (apart from some of the fans) and I had no problems routing my component cables. The power supply is located at the bottom in the case - my OCZ StealthXStream fit without issue and its power cables were long enough (other have complained they needed extenders). The holes for cable management can be a little sharp and you have to careful not to nick your cables when feeding them through.
One concern is that motherboard mounting is quite high (for x3 GPU support) and very close to the top fan. It is very easy to have something touch the top fan (the blades are very sharp!). I had no problem with my MB (Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4H + AMD Phenom II 3.0GHz + Zalman 9700).
The blue LEDs are nice and will add an eerie glow to any room at night. :-)

The case is not ideal for LAN gaming parties as it very heavy before you add anything like GPUs and big cooling blocks of copper! You might have to borrow a shopping cart to lug it around ;-)

4.0 out of 5 stars Does the job, August 3, 2009

By	J. Hernandez "Father" (CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Aesthetically beautiful, a real killer look. I replaced the stock fans however with some Scythe 3k rpm fans. Fits my GTX295 card. I have a Thermalright 120 heatsink and i have to modify the plexiglass or w/e material it is because it wont fit with the sidefan mounts facing the inside. Overal sometimes i think I should have bought the larger version but In the end I really like the looks of this case. Nice airflow.The USB plugs on the front were a tight fit for my plugs but overtime they work just fine.Aesthetically pleasing, WELL CRAFTED. I doubt there would be another case that i would like over this one, and i spent a lot of time at fry's, computer central and micro center taking apart cases and looking them over.
