Comment:
Tilt out sides.Plenty of fans.Effectively lit.Light weight door for simple optical tray extension.Pleasing look.Price immediately after rebate.Most of all a extremely strong case. Raidmax's failed to extend rebate.Thankfully it was honored by way of Newegg with a credit on our account. NEWEGG ROCKS AS Constantly!

Keeps case cool. You can put your hand up to the fans and feel genuinely cool air. I'm a gamer, with a radeon hd 6950 two gig뢘bit graphics card, and it hasn't overheated however. CPU stays cool, it all stays cool. My only con is that you can't close the front of the case if you have audio jacks or USBs plugged in, but it's hardly worth mentioning. I would give the case a four.5 rating just for that.Oh yeah, and they hid the extra screws and stuff in a compartment on the bottom below exactly where the harddrives go, I coudlnt' discover this in the literature, and didn't find out til I had scrapped up old screws from computers past lol.I never bothered working with the 500 watt energy supply, because I needed more energy after I ended up obtaining the rest of my components immediately after the truth. I was impressed by how effortless the case is to put everything together. The front and back panels pop off and on with ease, you can take out the motherboard panel thingie (yes, i mentioned thingie), w/o so a lot as a curse to the designers. The arm that goes over the graphics card (which is my preferred feature ever!) comes off quite easily too for better access to internal components.

This case is big. That's a plus to me and most men and women who like to throw every component they can afford into it. There is a lot of space for expansion and for great airflow all through the case. Foldout mb tray is a have to in my opinion. I've built four computers utilizing this case and they are quite straightforward to work with. Why try cramming those truly pricey parts into little locations on the mb when you can just fold the tray out and have simple access? no brainier. The included power provide has only 2 sata power connectors. Not a problem if you don't program on making use of other new parts to make your pc. Not a enormous issue because 4pin to sata power connectors are fairly inexpensive, just don't forget to obtain them or you'll be sitting around waiting to play with your new toy. The LED's in this case are everywhere and they are bright! wonderful for a night light for a football stadium, not so excellent in a bedroom. You can leave the front case LED's unplugged but the fans will be light up if you want them running.

Superb excellent, expandability and compatibility. Good style...seriously well built. It's a pleasure to work on a pc with this case. NONE Really should come in Red or Green accent lighting rather of just blue as a option.

The case is wonderful. access to each side, five fans and a 500 w power supply , looks hot, only noticed 1 difficulty. This factor is large and bad. the 1 challenge is the cables from the power supply to the motherboard are a little brief. makes dropping the motherboard to show it off tough.

none When i got the case the front panel was broken off all six plastic retaining pins had been broken. 1 of the plates on the front chassis for cd-rom was taken off which indicates to me, that it was a utilised case. The magnets that hold the door in location on the front plate had been off. I bought a raidmax case a couple of yrs ago and had to send that one back because the power provide was defective. I thought maybe raidmax has improved since then, I was wrong. There's no way I'm spending ศ.00 to ship the thing back that shouldn't have come to me in that sort of condition in the initially location. Is there no high quality control anymore? Since I'm unwilling to send the case back mainly because of the shipping charge I glued the front plate onto the personal computer with epoxy which worked. I'm so mad about this that I will never ever get an additional raidmax case.

I purchased this case about 3 years ago , the power provide is still kicking , the case looks like new. it has numerous fans around it, which assists the cooling a small. you got all the space in the globe to put anything you want in it. Incredibly excellent Metal , i even tried sitting on it and i weight about 130-140 pounds. some of the fans died right after 2yrs , but it wasn't a large deal , you can simply open the fan up and put some oil and they perform like new. The huge bottom fan is a discomfort to open up thou , but i did it :) i purchased this case with my develop 3yrs ago , and every thing nonetheless works :) , I hear that supplies that come with circumstances are horrible , but not this one :). you won't regret it....

simple install fantastic effortless to get in and out of case good case the only con i have is price

Comment:
nice case = easy to work on. despite the fact that the included PSU is not compatible with newer motherboards. does not have 24 pin!! PSU see above

Comment:
Solid Develop high quality.four fans push a significant amount of air through the case.Blue Lights on the side and front of the case.Huge transparent viewing window.Tool-less style makes adding Challenging Drives and Disk Drives actually uncomplicated.Both side panels fold down, generating hardware upkeep simpler.Space is not an problem. I do have a long graphics card though, which prevents one of the hard drive bays from getting utilized. I don't trust the PSU. It wasn't stong sufficient to deal with my rig under load, and it would whimper while the rig was idling.The PSU cables are too short to open the motherboard-side panel out completely (so that it's laying horizontal on the ground).The blue lights are bright, which is a difficulty at night.It's a bit tough to carry this factor. I manage anyway. The USB ports on the front don't appear to be totally powered...I can't charge an iPhone making use of them, for example. This may well be my motherboard's fault, nevertheless.

cool case and looks good very upset with the shipping i paid more than 躔 dollars on personal computer portion to put a good tower together to plug into my 32 inch lcd and the three day shipping turned into 7 day shipping i did not pay more than ุ shipping to wait a week now i have to wait tell i get a day off instead of the day i scheduled off this is really un professional don't strategy to get what ever u order soon because it takes longer then they guarantee

Comment:
Incredibly simple to work with. Removable motherboard tray makes for effortless installation. Plenty of room for a Thermaltake CLP0552. Included energy provide is a bit iffy. Had to get a molex-to-sata conversion cable to reach each the difficult drive and optical drive. Molex connectors feel flimsy Totally good get even without having thinking about a energy provide.I was incredibly pleased to use this for my 1st custom develop knowledge

Comment:
Nice cheap personal computer case. Good for beginner's. Energy supply is poorly produced. I've bought 2 of theese case's in witch both of the power provide's are noisy. One thing inside grind's.

Comment:
Great air flow. Good cost for a case that comes with power supply. Straightforward to perform with. Overall excellent case for a low energy build. Heavy. Carrying is a bit of a function out (I feel I lost some weight by carrying it around :D ). If you aren't moving it around, it shouldn't be a dilemma. Those men and women who are complaining about the psu being doa, oh please. It occurs all the time to any power supply. Also those folks that say the case was all dinged up, how is that even probable with all the packaging?

Comment:
Motherboard mounting plate is removable, really solid case, looks incredible Would prefer it to be just a small bit smaller, but otherwise the case is sweet! Very first computer create, was extremely happy with the high quality and im a individual that likes my stuff best

I purchased this at NewEgg two years back , this was my initial non-preowned case , and I created a good choice. There is ample room for biggerheatsink fans like my Coolermaster V6( but it will take some performing getting it inside) I broke my sidewindow in a mishap last year and Raidmax replaced it for ฝ and cost-free shipping , so wonderful consumer service and support. In all this case delivers style and is very functional . The weak aluminum metal on the latches tend to bend off , the molex pin for the front panel light was poorly produced .The front panel mesh is not fastened by a screw , just glued. Likewise the magnets that keep the door secured are glued with a weak hotmelt glue and they effortlessly come loose. I'd like additional insulation wire wrap around the essential case front panel wires , due to the fact those thin wires get cut by the edges at times. Truly very good case for the dollars if you're in the industry for a midtower size with good possible. I will buy a Raidmax for my subsequent case in the future.

the case doors can be open with no screws it has 4fans installed for you and it give you a psu the case light up and its toolles to installed any drives the metal bar in the middle can be a issue sometime when your trying to move cable with out taking the case apart. the 24pin and the 4pin are too short it weight a lot more than other case the case is powerful

Comment:
Wonderful case! Heavy metal. none of that low-cost light weight loser metal. nice light but far more importantly, very effiecient at cooling. if i could marry it it would have happened a extended time ago, and we would have had 14 children. do not trust the power supply! thats the only con. u want power, u superior get a different power supply. i got lucky that when it blew it didnt take mother with it. get one more power supply. at least a 700 watt if your significant *thats nonetheless light but great sufficient)

Comment:
Have had it two years. Great case and PS in no way failed. Feels kind of inexpensive but I treat it effectively so it keeps going powerful. No complications. I would devote a little a lot more to make positive you have a better PS and a larger W as effectively if you are a gamer with a lot of extras like graphics and sound cards.

Comment:
Despite the fact that massive, you already knew that if obtaining it. Highly expandable, added fan slot on the suitable side, and QUIET. All fans running full speed this thing doesn't even hum. It's a dream. Extremely cool as properly. Sustained temps of 40C or lower on the motherboard, 50C or less on a Phenom X4 9850 at 100% usage, and 50C or much less on an ASUS EAH5450 Radeon HD chipset at normal usage. NONE.

Comment:
It looks good in the picture Power cables are to short to drop down MB. You have to open the front door to use USB. Front door only opens 1 direction. Heavy. Old style power connnector for PSU I really should have just bought a excellent case.

Comment:
This was the easiest case to build a computer in. The way it opens up on either side makes this the perfect case. Door handles are a nice touch. Becoming able to lock the side panels by a thumb screw on the back is nice too. The power supply works fine for the gaming hardware installed. It has just enough wires to do the job. The added fans actually assist to keep the system cool and are quite quiet unlike some situations. Plenty of room components. Had to acquire an adapter to plug into the aux port on the motherboard. It had the new 8 prong connection and the power supply had the 6 prong connection.

This tower rules ... period! A lot of ventilation - cool lights - easy accesibility ... hardware ... tool box ... and yet awesome tooless installation - go figure!!!! Get this if you want to be happy! Energy source only has two SATA plugs on one feed - Acquire power adapters - pata to sata!

Comment:
Tons of fans for cooling. Fans are whisper quiet. Plenty of room for internal devices. Side window and lit fans are nice. Case is sturdy, no wobbling. Tool-much less design is nice, and storage for extra rails is excellent and hidden. Slide out sides, specially for the MB tray, are fantastic. Heavy. Case w/ internals weighs at least 20-30 pounds. Front door is flimsy, both in keeping the door shut and in the hinges. Have to open the door to use power and FSUSB. Cons aren't sufficient to knock an egg off though. Deployed 7 of these over the last two months, utilizing the included PSU for our create. The cases are nice, but look slightly out of location in the office environment in which they are in- But hey, it looks cool!Had to order 1 replacement case soon after the PSU sparked and fried itself upon plugging it in, but 7Ǟ (replacement case included in the final count) working fine (and delivered intact, have had issues with shattered front/side panels with other instances just before!) is pretty superior in my book.GIGABYTE GA-M68MT-D3AMD Athlon II X4 640Seagate Barracuda ST3320418ASOCZ Platinum 2GB DDR3 1333RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WBP w/ 500w PSU
