ive had this case for a few months now..very..VERY cheaply made..abolutely everyhting will bend and air seems to flow poorly..overall its maybe a 2.5..if your looking for a cheap case that your going to leave in one place and never take apart..this is the one..but if your constantly upgrading and tinkering inside..this isnt the case for you its a pain to get the side panel off and on specially with the fan plugged in..my power supply has done me well but the power plugs for the fan are a bit tricky and you may have to even tape them together..if your looking for a good replacement stay away. but if your just starting out this is good for a first build or something simple like that..oh and a VERY loud case..does not keep sound in at all..it sounds like your in a wind tunnel when you turn it on.

Piece of dirt. If you could imagine building your own case from spare soda pop cans this would be the result. Dont breath to hard because the case will bend. Also I had to ordered in the past, both came with broken parts. And finally the power supply lasted a week in one, the other is still running strong, but only because i put it into an older computer with less demands. Yes its cheap, but its terrible. You get what you pay for here. Its also hard as hades to get customer service.

I Bought this case 2 days ago and i love it. It looks alot better in person than it does on her. It fell off my bed onto the hard wwoden floor and help up just fine. Id say this is a pretty durable case. If your looking for a cool case for your computer id recommend this one for the price. The power supply is good to but i wouldnt reccomend it if yu have a good graphics card. Overall is a good case.

I bought two of these about a year ago, one silver with blue lights and one black with red lights (the one featured here). Both have performed wonderfully. Some have complained about how ''flimsy'' this case is. I like that it is so light, keep thinking it is aluminum instead of steel. As long as you don't plan on standing or sitting on this case, it is plenty strong. Both power supplies have performed well. MB are easy to get in and out as are the drives. I agree with the post about replacing the PS if you install a power hungry video card. Even though it is 450 watts, the amps are divided into two rails, one is 16A and the other 14A. I just upgraded the PS after a year of use because I upgraded my video card and needed a 30A + supply. In any event, this is a great case and has performed well for me.

I bought two of these and kept them power up for two weeks. So far both work fine. I followed the instructions step by step to setup them up and everything worked the first time I hit the power switch. The only thing I can think of is that the metal case is kind of thin.

Pretty cool case with the front leds and the side fan....but the power supply blew out in 2 seconds...over all pretty good case but hekka flimsy...

Comment:
My power supply on this blew out 5 minutes after turning it on. (the button on the power supply got stuck on On.... go figure)

I got this case to replace my plain beige box. I've owned it for over 6 months and the power supply is still working but I don't turn this computer on much. (use my laptop most the time) Who knows if the other reviewers just got a fluke power supply or what. If you're going to put a high load on this supply (high end cpu and videocard) I would buy a new psu because the extra power is always nice and I wouldn't risk stressing this psu any. I like the looks it looks awesome with a modkit that I purchased with it. Overall a great case but you should consider buying a psu if you have expensive components that draw a lot of power.

I bought this case to rebuild a current system. GLAD I saved the poser supply from the old one. It went out in a month. The manufacturer offered no warranty on the power supply. NO warranty, go figure. TD would also not exchange because it was a week out of the exchange time period. The price is great for what you get, but definitely order yourself a new power supply at the same time. It won't last. And it prob WILL take out a cpl of internal components when it blows. I spent an extra $345 on a new video card it burned out too. BEST OF LUCK, BUT CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED.

I got this case over a year ago for my first PC. It came with a power supply in it. The case works wonders, but the power supply that came with it blew out a week after I had everything put together. Not only that, but the power supply took the video card I had in there along with it. Overall, the case itself is great. The power supply doesn't quite measure up though. In the end, a good buy!

Comment:
I love this case i just case swaped to is one and it is a good quality case, but the power supply is really cheap but it does come with a 80 mm fan that is really quiet so i say it is a must buy

Great case and power supply. For the price is excellent. Mine is a week and so far so good. Would recommend this to anyone who do not want to pay a lot for a computer.

This came as part of a TigerDirect barebone kit. It created a little confusion as the side of the box indicates it includes a 24/20 mobo adaptor, which in fact is a mobo connector that has a 20 pin connector with a 4 pin add on that you simply leave hanging for mobo's with a 20 pin. A little (any) documentation would be helpful knowing that for 1st time builders. Aside from that, all the wiring is identified with printing on the connectors. [power, lights etc].

Mine works well, but I've had a few issues. The ground wire for the side panel fan came un-soldered. I may have been a little rough with it, but it should have held up. Anyway, I soldered it back. Also, the hard drive led on mine doesn't work. So I plugged in the power led to the hdd led on the mb instead. I don't really need to have a power led with all the other lights this thing has. My wife doesn't like all the lights, but I think they're ok.

Received the Case in good condition, but the Power supply didn't work. The Service was excellence as they answered my call even Saturday night. The RMA was quick processed. Today, I receive another Case and... same problem!!!, THE POWER SUPPLY DIDN'T WORK. I wonder if they ever check and test these Cases before leaving the PowerUp company, or may be they skipped this part due to the barebone cost factor.

the case is ok but after i set it all up and was running, 2 days later it did not work i replaced a number of items only to find out later the power did work then did not work then did I had to replace power tiger wanted me to send back but after all that work it was easier to replace power

Comment:
This case looks very nice, the problem is, it doesnt work.:| I hooked my mobo up and everything, plug it in, turn it on, NOTHING! The power supply is defective, is this what they do? Do they just give out the defective power supplies with this deal? THe plexi glass is scratched, and came with a cracked corner, not to mention the power supply DOES NOT WORK.

Fancy Case. Great value. The only problem I had was there my IDE cable wasn't long enough to reach the harddisk and DVD drive so had to bend some metal so harddirve would screw into the disk drive rack.
