Great case! Nice touches., March 1, 2003
The Antec power supplies have always been rock solid for me. The same now goes for their cases. I have 3 of these cases with 2 running 2.5GHz P4 and one with an Athelon 2200 (all ASUS). The case has several great features: easy open side panel, removable hard drive and fan combo with a nice locking clip, quick slides for optical drives, the hard drive gets a blast of cool air blowing from a fan directly in front of it, and it is easy to install fans. The case is beautiful inside with great finishing touches. What's not to like: little small when I have both hands inside swapping CPU chips, the side fan needs to be unplugged when removing the door, the fan needs to be unplugged for the hard drive enclosure removal, there is no slide out tray for the mobo, and it uses some unusual slides to attach the optical drives( they do supply a lot tho). The power switch is nice, no doors to contend with, and the front connectors are handy and not in the way of my mouse. Very quiet fans. Put a LED colored fan into the side vent for a beautiful effect. Enough power and space for a normal system. A big thumbs up.

Best Case Available!, January 11, 2003
If your building a new computer or even upgrading an old one, you must consider this case. Don't let the price fool you, this case is the best quality you can buy, specially for AMD builders. Plenty of space for all your components and any motherboard. Washable front airfilter that pulls out easily. Fan intake in front positioned right in front of HD cage to keep your harddrive cool. 2 Front USB and 1 Front Firewire ports in a nifty lil pop up door. Case is solid construction with rails for all your CD roms and Hard drives for easy installation. AND, finally the best, this case comes with Antecs best type power supply, the TRU series. This case has the 330TRU Power supply which is wisper quiet, has plenty of power leads, 3 seperate fan leads for case fans to control their speed based on case temperature, and solid power on the +3.3v, +5v, and +12v rails to run just about any configuration for P4 or Newer XP AMD systems. This power supply beats out most 450watt power supplies due to the seperate power provided on the 3.3v and 5v rails, instead of like most power supplies which have a combined power source for these rails...thats the difference! If your building a newer XP or P4 System you must have a solid power supply, do not be cheap here, this case does it all! Oh their is also a side door fan that brings air into the case too and more importantly blows directly onto your PCI card area including your Video Card! Get this case, you won't regret it!

Awesome Case, February 7, 2004
By A Customer
This is a very nice looking tower and definitely a great value. I was looking for a case for a new PC I was building, and I didn't want one of those cheap, dull, white cases. Luckily I stumbled upon Antec's cases and decided to check them out. This case had everything I needed. Sure it's a little expensive, but I believe it was totally worth the money. It has plenty of space, a solid 330W PSU, room for 4 fans (2 front, 1 back, & 1 side), side panel, and a cool metallic gray style. Now for over 3 months I've been using this case with a Asus P4C800-E motherboard, Pentium 4 2.8Ghz processor, and Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card and have had no problem. The temperatures inside are steady at around 27-35șC. The side fan can be useful for cooling a monster graphics card like the 9800 Pro. The case fans also run pretty quiet and are never too loud, while still giving a decent amount of cool air for the system. The side panel can slide off to gain easy access to the goodies inside, and can also be locked for security. This is a great case and would reccomend to anyone willing to spend the money.
