Everything fits, great price, not bad!
UPDATE (4 -> 5 stars)/ 9/20/2013 - This thing is $28 now! You'd be nuts NOT to get this case! I'm pretty sure they're taking a loss selling it at that price, maybe they're overstocked and trying to get rid of them? If you're going to buy this case BUY IT NOW!Firstly, I just want to say if you want to SEE my PC check out the last 3 customer uploaded images, they are of my newly built PC in this case.

I MIGHT be able to fit another one in, but I really don't need another one, the 760 is a beast!)Ram: 16GB Gskill Sniper Series DDR3 2400Whew, now having said all that, EVERYTHING fits in this case. Is it a little bit snug? See for yourself, I don't think so, but some might. I also got a non-modular power supply so that adds alot of unnecessary cables.The fact is though, my computer does NOT overheat. I monitor temps whenever my computer is on (with CPUID, free program!) and as an example, under a full load my CPU temp stays ~20C and my GPU can get up to ~60C on a warm day. Keep in mind though for the CPU I'm using a $104 liquid cooling system (I just happened to get a GREAT deal on it).The see-through case is pretty cool too, I like being able to see the components plus with a liquid cooling system if any liquid starts leaking I can immediately take care of it, although I highly doubt it will leak.Anyway, I hope this review helps, keep in mind I put alot of stuff in here with the 4 ram modules, and the pretty large graphics card (the Geforce 760 GTX is about 11.5" long, it's pretty big), but it does all fit!Keep in mind this is a ~$50 case. For $50 it is a good deal, if you want a "better" case, you're going to have to spend more money it's as simple as that. People nitpick things like a flimsy backplate, or not having the best cable management, well the more you expect from a product the more you're going to end up paying for it. So take it easy on a $50 case.I can say for sure it's better than my old HP desktop PC computer case. It actually FEELS like a gamer's case.So all-in-all, if you're on a budget and looking for a nice computer case for $50 I recommend this case. It's got everything I needed and it's got everything 90% of people will need or care about. I'd buy it again.

1.0 out of 5 stars Would not recommend!

I am most definitely not satisfied with this case. To start off, there's a place to mount a 240mm radiator on the top, but you can say goodbye to that option once the motherboard is in. There's absolutely no clearance between the top of the MoBo and the top of the case. Cable management can just be thrown out the window because there is no place to hide cables, as there is no space between the MoBo tray and the back panel of the case (the side without the window). The PCI expansion slots are not fastened in with screws, they have to be clipped out of the case, which by this time, it would be possible to secure them back on using the correct screws, which aren't supplied, but it's useless considering the PCI slot covers have to be bent just to clip them off. I have had a horrible experience with this case and hope future buyers consider something else.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good case for a middling budget
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2013

I got this case for my new computer, and it's been in use for about a month. It's a solid case, and feels sturdy without being overly heavy.

The first thing you should know is that the picture set probably undervalues the case in terms of fan mounts. Not shown is that it has one 120mm fan mount on the bottom of the case, and two on the top- if you wanted to order a double 120mm radiator water cooling system, like an H100, this case does have a place to mount it.

Pros:
Excellent value
Sturdy construction
Numerous (6) 120mm fan mounts
Bottom mounted power supply
Ability to swap CPU coolers without motherboard removal
Roomy- you could probably fit just about any graphics card on the market in this case. It has at least 12" of clearance between the PCI mount and hard drives.
Blue LED fan looks nice without looking gaudy- this entire case strikes an excellent balance between a conservative look and a gamer look.

Cons:
Front ports are a little outdated. There's no USB3 or eSata, just 2xUSB 2.0 and audio in/out.
No real cable management- there's a good inch or two gap between 3.5" bays and the side to stow your extra cables though, so it doesn't look *awful*.
The PCI card covers are rather difficult to remove.
The power and hard drive LEDs are extremely bright when looking at them dead-on. This is an issue for me as my tower is oriented towards my bed. This isn't anything that would light up your room in a different orientation though.

Overall, I'd say if I was doing it again, I'd probably pick this case. It'd be nice to have front USB 3, but I can use a hub if it ever becomes necessary to swap out external hard drives regularly. If you want to get the most out of it though, I'd recommend buying at least three or four additional 120mm case fans.

this case isent the worst you could buy it comes with a deasent fan already in it but the frame its self is the real problem when i first got it and tryed to install my mother board and graphic card I literally had to bend parts to the item so i could screw them in but once they got in there wasen't really a problem the frame has quite a bit of space but that also means its pretty bulky. and when I turn on my computer i have to literally turn off the switch on my power supply or else my computer woulnt start and the buttons on the power button only works right as i flip the switch and i had a different case befor this but i wanted something a little cooler that looked better and i dident have any problems with the other one like i do with this one
