Good for $25 but I wouldnt pay anymore. Includes 3 fans so it did reduce the temperature of everything

I wish there was more positive to say. One of the case sides arrived bent. It was shocking how easy it was to bend back. It didn't exactly smooth out but it at least looks passable now.One of my biggest judges of whether a case is acceptable or not is... Am I going to get hurt working with it? Yes, it might sound silly but I've worked with some cheap cases in my day and I've had several small cuts while working with them. Unfortunately this case brought back some memories from the 90s where cheap cases were a plenty and buying low normally led you to being maimed in some way. There's no real sharp edges (which is good) but popping out one of the front bays somehow led to a scratch. I should probably spend a little more on cases to avoid having to consider a tetanus shot.Popping the back plate out led to part of back getting slightly bent despite trying to be as careful as possible. Once again, easy to bend back.Screwing the screws (supplied with the DVD-RW) in to secure the DVD-RW actually led to the screws going right through the drive bay. I couldn't believe my eyes at first. I had to use much wider screws (not enough supplies in the bag that came with the case) to secure the hard drive and DVD-RW into the case.Some of the paint on the case is chipping away. Part of the plastic on the front of the case is distorted in a weird way. All in all really depressing. I'm kind of embarassed giving it to a customer but I don't have time to wait for a new case to arrive as even though I live 4 hours from Vancouver lately all my shipments have been sent from Toronto.I would rate 99% of the things from NCIX 4 or 5 Stars. But it took all I had to NOT rate this 1 Star. Please avoid. Spend a bit more and consider a different case.

Now I'm used to cheap cases. I buy $20 ones from another source and when you buy stuff that cheap, you don't have high expectations. This case I bought for $25 after some rebates so for what I got I can't complain. BUT I wouldn't ever recommend you get this case for the full price of $60. You can find cases far better quality. As mentioned, there are two big pros. It comes with three fans which is great and the look, if it meets your taste, is not too bad at all. It's also quite roomy inside as well.But the negatives remind me of my $20 cases. This is made of cheap thin metal. It weighs like a feather and the side panel wobble when sliding them back on. The fans aren't the quietest either. A lot of the edges in the front where you might run some cables through are unrolled and sharp so be careful not to damage your cables. (Put some duck tape on that). The motherboard mounts aren't those screw in ones, they are built in to the motherboard tray and there may not be one for every hole in your board. So you are going to need some rubber spacers to help support your motherboard. There is a very simple and vague instruction book which won't help the inexperienced. Lastly, everything requires tools. Nothing easy for you here.So as I said. For $25 bucks its a great buy. For $60, stay away and buy something better like a Thermaltake Commander or Thermaltake V4.

Very easy to build a starter system with. Would like a power supply of some sort to come with and make it a package deal. Looks pretty good for the price. Side fan cover should come with either a fan or filter instead of just the opening.

a snazzy looking cheap case, weighs about as much as a mini itx
