Cons:
The HDD access light can be annoying but it's nothing major.
Pros: Easy to install HDD. Lock key is a pretty nice feature even though you probably won't use it. The LCD screen is nice and the overall design is great. The red makes it stand out very well. Comment:
Overall, this is a great case. It is very easy to use, pretty big (I wanted a big case and this one is 21 inches if I'm not mistaken). The design is great and it looks good. Overall, this is a very good case. The only problem I've had with it is the plug for the door fan. It is kinda loose and I have to be careful when plugging my fan. |

Cons: HDD rails weird to "get" at first, thermometers use cruddy adhesive
Pros: Pretty, easy to work with, enjoyable. Comment:
This case is pretty good, if you can find it on sale. The Temperature sensors come with horrible adhesive, and will fall off in days, so expect to use some better stuff if you actually want it to work. The case is a little bit of a tight squeeze for larger video cards, but that's always the case, ain't it?Overall, I liked it, and would recommend. |

Cons: Lack of speed sensing fans by defaultFront door doesn't stay opened if opened....more on this below.Top fan too close to rear of case
Pros: Gorgeous looking!Good Airflow!Fits Xigmatek HDT-S1283 perfectly (something like 1 mm clearance to side fan!) Comment:
The case looks amazing. The airflow is pretty good although I would have prefered having speed sensing fans to plug into my mobo rather than not.Front case door closes tightly. But when opened has a nasty habbit of not staying opened fully. Instead it kind of prefers to sit about half way adjar, which causes some stress for DVD drives and the like. I Actually broke the door off on the 5th day of having it. However with a bit of luck I was able to repair it and you wouldnt even know I had broke it at all.The top exhaust fan sits to far to the rear of the case, I had to remove it to install my Antec Quattro 850W PSU.Overall I am happy with it as it looks amazing, the red illumination gives my computer a slightly bad*ss look and is easier on the eyes at night than crazy blue led lights. |

Cons: Barely fits long video cards (had less than 1cm of space at end of 9800GTX+)Front panel cables not quite long enough for some motherboards (HD audio connection wouldn't reach on asus P5QL-E, had to use AC-97)Rear wire-management cage makes the otherwise easy side panel access frustrating.
Pros: Lots of space (with one exception)Looks goodGood cooling (3x120, 1x80mm fans included) Comment:
Overall this is a very nice case. The position and direction of the 3.5in cage make installing hard drives easy and is excellent for cable management. The front door feels reasonably solid. The included 120mm fans are quiet and move a fair bit of air. The 80mm fan is a bit louder, and I would have preferred they used a 120mm. With the 80mm disconnected, cooling is still good and the case is quieter.The locking/latched side panel is excellent and allows opening and closing without dealing with screws if you are the type who needs to access the inside of his case often. However, the 'wire-cage' on the back of the case is flimsy when not screwed in, so using it alongside the latched side panel is pretty much out of the question.There is a bit less room than similar sized cases for the video card. I installed a 9800GTX+ and had less than 1cm of space remaining. I'd recommend comparing the length of that card to your card to make sure it will fit ok.Quality wise, it feels sturdy and well built. The tool-less install works well, which is good since there is no screw-in option for the 3.5 and 5.25 drives. The piano-black finish is prone to fingerprints, but looks very nice when clean.Overall I would recommend this case if it's looks and features fit your needs. While not at the top of my list, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase it for someone else if they liked the look. |

This case looks really good, but the front cover plastic is fairly flimsy. There is already a hole on the side of my case. |

Cons: The shinny black surface really shows off dust. Looks like it could be easily scratched too. Leg extenders to make it harder to tip over would be nice.
Pros: Lots of room. Nice front panel temp displays. Comment:
Mine came with 4 fans including the optional front fan. Overall, very happy with it.To nit pick:Something is emitting a very low cyclic hum. Haven't narrowed it down to which fan (or HD? PSU?) yet. Will probably never use even half the HD bays. The front door with magnetic catches get in the way when the CD drive auto ejects. The red LEDs are kind of bright at night when room light are off. |

Cons: temperature gauges not overly accurate
Pros: Very nice looking with the piano black finish and the red l.e.d's Comment:
This is a really great mid ATX case. The piano black finish looks really great along with the clear side window. The case is really quiet and keeps very cool. It fits any heat sync, and accepts the new 8800's with no problem, I highly recommend this case. |

Cons: Temperature displayFeet
Pros: SolidEasy to work withAll parts included Comment:
Overall a decent case. Plenty of room inside and a fairly solid construction. I have had 3 issues so far though. First, the temperature display bugged out after about a week. As soon as I turned it on there was some "bleeding" inside the screen that would come and go. Eventually it just stopped displaying anything. Secondly, the rubber feet were improperly installed at the factory and caused some scratch damage to my desk. Lastly, the side door has a sort of hinge that doesn't function as a door would. As soon as you unlock it the side panel basically falls off, which could cause some damage considering the fan cables that are attached to it.On a more positive note, there is a lot of available room for a mid-tower ATX and it looks nice. I've owned better and worse cases, so it's not awful but you could probably do better. |

Cons: side usb ports are weak. internal wiring layout is poorly thought out.
Pros: Great airflow, good interior layout, looks damn nice, light, well made, mods easily Comment:
I own the NZXT LEXA case, and like it lots. I bought this case for my girlfriends son as he made honors in school. I have to say , I painted the interior of my lexa case (which is almost identical) sparkle metalic red, and added red lights, well before NZXT came out with this case, but this case looks awsome, and my little buddy loves it as all his friends are drooling over it.

Cons: pain to open side panel with the piece on the back, top fan has to come out to fit many power supplies.
Pros: looks cool, very quiet with stock fans Comment:
overall i really like this case and would recommend it. it's big enough to fit my hd2900xt and a tuniq tower into it. although the side fan just touches the bottom of the tuniq when the case is closed, but not enough you can't live with it. it also looks really cool with the red and black motif. |

Cons: With the added "feet" and top piece is it quite large.
Pros: This case looks amazing, stays very cool. Comment:
This case looks AMAZING. The two red LED fans light up the inside in the dark and the temp display is very convenient. It is quite large with the top "peice" and bottom feet but all in all it is a great case and I am glad I ordered this one. |

Cons: Not very portable - heavy, no handles, and akward to carryNot so easy access - back grill must be unscrewed before panel can be removedTemperatures are nowhere near correct, but usefull for finding changesToo big to fit many computer desks - ends are 20.5" tall.
Pros: Looks fantasticVery quietRoomyEasy to work withVery Solid Comment:
First this thing looks awesome. The black patent finish, curved lines, and red lights make this a real conversation piece. Sleek.Most important for me it's very quiet and keeps things very cool. It's also quite roomy and I love the side facing and screwless drive bays, awesome for adding new goodies.This sucker is heavy which doesn't bother me. I wanted a solid home. The negative side is it's not easy to lug around. The lack of handles and the curved rather flimsy plastic ends don't help either.The temperature display I suppose is useful. It doesn't match my software readings, but I do watch it for changes. At least it looks good ;)The back plastic grill is different. I suppose it adds ... protection? It is a pain though as you have to unscrew it to get into the easy access panel, but hey, if you are into cracking boxes, surely you can handle four screws ;)It is also too tall for my computer desk at 20.5" high (I measured it). Oh well, now I have to put it on the floor where everyone can see and admire it!Overall I'm satisfied and would definately by another. |
Nice case, wish it was blue led and smaller though. Make sure to be careful handling the front door. Its pretty flimsy. Case looks great and functions great besides that.
