lots of front drive bays - fantastic for a file server!energy supply on the bottom makes it quite steadyIt also keeps the case cooler because the power provide's airflow is separate from the rest of the personal computerbig feet to elevate for fantastic airflow Have to cut or bend tabs in drive bays to accomodate RAID cagesSide fan interferes with tall CPU heatsinksfans are low top quality, just replace them proper awaythin metal on leading of case make buzzing sound I place two 5-drive RAID cages into this unit and produced a really sweet file server.The thin metal created buzzing sounds till I added sound deadening materialThis case's looks are incredibly sophisticated and fashionable for its price. It will look appropriate at house in any atmosphere.It must come with a clear plastic side panel so persons can see how good this case looks inside. There is lots of space for cables so you can have a quite clean and tidy setup with very good airflow. |

ื.99 immediately after the rebate is a great cost. Airflow is awesome in this case, and it is very sturdy. Top rated 140mm fan was really noisy and not steady. I've sent it to AZZA and waiting on a return. Was kind of annoyed to have to pay an additional Ů to ship it back and get another fan. All in all I'm pleased with the obtain. |

Everybody else currently said it all, this is not like AZZA's less costly models like the Orion, but is quite well constructed, appears excellent and has fantastic ventilation. A single of the fans started rattling about two hours after I installed everything. They're most likely not the very best fans, but nevertheless the QC is not really up to par. You can usually get a four pack of 120mm fans for about ผ.50 (both Rosewill and Cooler Master has a pack like that) which is most likely anything you'll want to do with a develop like this. |

Sturdy, good seeking, No cuts when installing in contrast to some other cases I have utilized Does NOT help E-ATX motherboards as indicated in the specifications!!! I was not capable to setup simply because my motherboard is E-ATX. |

four fans are Extremely quiet, and truly move a lot of air. I was thinking about replacing the 140mm fans given that I figured if they're that quiet, they most likely were only moving 40cfm or so. I emailed their service email on the web site and received a reply inside hours that they didn't know the precise fan specs but would ask the supplier. Initially thing the next morning I had the specs on the fans which are: cfm dm rpmFront 13.five cm 62.93 17.4 900Rear 12 cm 53.36 21.8 1200Top 14cm 61.46 19.eight 900Side 23 cm 151.2 28 900Really solid construction and 1 year warranty. Stays really cool. A clear winner at this price point. I wish it had an added cutout for a three.5" bay. it only comes with one particular which is taken up by my card reader, but there are multiple bays. I want to add a fan controller and not confident about how to get about that now. Soon after about 3 months, the prime fan is starting to rattle a bit, but they said they would replace it no difficulty, so I seriously can't complain at all. Not really a con, but bigger HSFs will NOT Fit devoid of some modification. To get a Mugen 2 in right here and still have the fan spin w/o rubbing against it and the noise producing me want to kill myself, I had to grind down a part of the Mugen w/ a dremel and notch the side fan blades. Operates great now though, just be confident to measure ahead of ordering a larger HSF. W/ this case and a Scythe Mugen 2, my Phenom II 955BE idles at 30-32, 45-46 immediately after five mins of prime95 |

- Good quality [Truly sturdy frame and components].- Aesthetics [All black, blue LED fans, steel mesh front panel].- Cooling and 140mm intake fans w/ 140 and 120mm exhaust fans].- Roomy [plenty of room to expand in (i.e. modern GPUs and perform with (cable management)].- Future proof [has the availability for watercooling].- Price tag [you won't find a greater case for the cash]. - Barely does NOT have sufficient room to match substantial after-marketplace heatsinks (Hyper 212+, Scythe Mugen II, and so on.). With the 230mm fan sticking out on the inside of the case you barely have mm of space from the motherboard to the fan which is not adequate area for the big coolers without modification. This case worked beautifully with the Corsair H50 watercooling method!

High top quality fans (quiet). Fantastic over all good quality. Verywell designed, moves air like it need to. Appears AWSOME with my Gigabite EP45-UDR3R The blue energy on switch light is a little vibrant. Quck repair is, don't plug in Energy LED. No massive deal even though! This is a massive awsome case. Check your personal computer area for size, it is truly 18" tall eight" wide 20 " long with screws.This is the finest case I ever utilized HANDS DOWN. Very good job AssA. Thanks Newegg for taking care of me. |

big fans performs nicelya lot of space in the case for bigfoot VGA cardsnot genuinely loudmore than all it is an eye-catching casethe case has a wonderful powercoat Could not mount heat sink of selection simply because of case has a ceiling fans that is as well deep or also feel.There is little room at the prime of the case for a big heat sink.Not a word about the rebate which I cautiously sent in 170 days ago.Can not dim the lights when I play a video I bought the case since it had a great rebate. Because I did not receive a rebate I really feel I have been lied to and this really dampens my enthusiasm for the organization. I will steer clear of all rebates from this company and all other folks irregardless. I just can not deal with becoming used and abused. |

-All black-Mainly screwless; HDD's and PSU calls for screws.-Fans are quiet, virtually non-discernible about 2 feet away. (Loudest fan is 24 dBA)-Appears better in individual than in pictures.-Bigger than on pictures.-Cable management for PSU wires is excellent, typical frustration with mobo connectivity.-Bottom mounted PSU = superior balance, also the bottom of the case has perforated holes for PSU.-HDD cage works in theory and practice.-No mobo bumps; great old fashion standoffs.-Peripherals are secured (with thumb screws at that!) secure, no silly clip (Newegg says no-no to "screw" with an "ed" at the end).-Stylish rubber feet.-Foam behind bay covers.-Good, solid really feel and the side panels don't bend and are flat.-Nothing at all to cut your self on (thumb nonetheless healing from earlier case reduce with Foxconn TLA-436-2CA400. Lots of undesirable memories with that case (don't ask))-Thumbscrews operate properly. -Box font is hideous.-Fans don't move a considerable amount of air due to being silent, but I wasn't expecting them to (although I was hoping they would).-You'll need a fan controller, which I have, or a lot of molex connections (or a good daisy chain).-Larger than photographs recommend.-Only four HDD slots, and I'm making use of all four. It's a seriously fantastic case. I appreciate hunting at it, the lights are fine, and it was a joy to build. What additional could you want than that? Even though, you might want to acquire four replacement fans, despite the fact that Newegg doesn't have any 230mm fans. I'm operating Crossfire and the gfx cards circulate inside. I'm hoping exhausts can manage them, I've got intake covered with the Scythe Slipstream. |

Superb to work in. The all-black interior appears sharp. Vibration dampening on the removable difficult drive bay. 230mm fan is fantastic, I like the blue glow from each fans, so does my son. :) All fans are quiet. Thumbscrews everywhere, but first time out bring a Phillips ş because they're machine tightened at the factory. Cabling for front panel was currently routed behind motherboard tray, good.PSU is mounted at the bottom. You can mount the PSU either way up, i.e so the intake fan points up rather of down to the grille in the base, that's how I mounted mine. Just be certain you have adequate ATX cable length to make it from your PSU to the motherboard connectors, My Gigabyte board 'helpfully' placed these headers at the best of the board which means even though I was capable to make the connections work, I'll be happier with an extension kit for some slack. Practically nothing negative about this case, unless you don't like blue glows. Finding one more 1 for son's machine. I've had cases costing twice as a lot at this (even without having the rebate) and they're not as good as this case. I've also installed a passive cooler (Accelero S1 V2) for the Radeon 4870, and it does quite nicely with the great airflow of this case. |

The case arrived rapidly. The fans are substantial and quiet. My develop included a Asus P6T6, Corsair 750TX PSU, and a Corsair CWCH-50 cooler. This case is surprisingly roomy and every thing is laid out logically. The space behind the motherboard panel has adequate room to snake wires via. The liquid cooler mounted completely on the rear panel. The PSU mounted at the bottom with an opening to transit air only via the PSU.This is the finest case I have noticed for the cash. None 1 of the evaluations stated that the metal was flimsy. I didn't observe this. The case is not indestructible, like the old beige COMPAQs, but it is sturdy enough for house and office. |

Spacious, comes with a lot of screws, bolts, and a couple ziptie like items for your cables. Four fans: 1top, 1back, 1front for the hdds, and a 1large side fan. Comes with a rebate. Could use a couple of much more windows for even far better cable management. Like one more user posted, there are four constructed-in risers or bumps where you can rest your mobo on as an alternative of utilizing the brass risers, and it is possibly far better to insulate them ahead of putting. Aftermarket cpu fan may well not match. It is less expensive appropriate now than when I purchased it in Feb. |

outstanding fit and finish. Case is painted inside and out. Shipping weight 20# so it's not a lightweight. Inludes a reducer for a floppy drive. Processor runs a lot cooler than with old case since of the 4 massive, quiet fans. Got a ฮ rebate so final value really goo for a case ofg this quality. None I can believe of. Entirely happy |

1. Looks really good2. Simple set up with thumb screws for essentially every thing3. Excellent cooling4. Every little thing match 1. My thumbs are sore from all the thumb screwstwo. My Xigmatek Dark Knight virtually didn't fit with the side fan on, but I utilized a steak knife to saw off a small plastic clip on the outer edge of the enormous side fan and the case closed up just fine I'd surely propose this case for anyone looking for a case that's not as well costly, but gives all the cooling and capabilities of cases significantly additional expensive.And of course, Newegg is amazing. |

Cost. Fantastic excellent construction. Effortless to set up. Reasonably quiet. Lots of room and excellent air flow. A lot of space for a E-ATX mobo (Evga X58 3X SLI Classified). Fans has no speed handle. Front blue LED light is certainly really bright. Could not fit a Xigmatek Thor's Hammer CPU cooler in the case (blocked by the large side panel fan). |

Fantastic hunting case and the Blue LEDs seriously do look fairly cool. Also this case doesn't have a clear side panel dorking it out like several of the instances on the industry. All of the fans actually do move a lot of air, maintaining everything cool. โ shipped (after mail in)-yeah not a lot to complain about right here. Leading fan started rattling the initial day of usage. From reading other evaluations, this occurred to a person else as well. New Egg really impressed me when I contacted them about this fan challenge and their response was to give me ฟ credit to account. I didn't have to prove something, they just stated they're sorry about the new case providing me difficulty and will give me ฟ to obtain a new fan. Now who can complain about that? New Egg is a single of the couple of (and possibly the only on the internet) organizations that requires care of their clients. |

This case is extremely adaptable. I adore the numerous swift thumbscrew design for everything. You can adjust out drives and cards extremely swiftly. Energy supply at the bottom is nice to preserve the energy cord low and out of the way. The only con that I have noticed is the distance from the top drive bay to the power supply is lengthy. You may possibly will need an extra power adapter or extention to make the reach if the provide cables are of short nature. My 12 volt 4 pin plug just created it with no room to spare. This baby has to run cool with all these fans and ventilation! With the rebate deal, you won't uncover a case this nice for the cash! I may possibly just order an additional for a future build. |
This case was a Really strong purchase. The rebate was quite nice and I definitely take pleasure in owning this case. The fans run incredibly quietly ( I never ever notice them over the typical white noise, I live in a quiet home as properly) and maintain air flowing very well within this case. If you are looking for a quiet and substantially cooler case, you really should surely consider this case as it provides you lots of bang for your buck. The material it was produced out of appears sturdy enough. (I don't go dragging my case around for lan parties so I am in no position to recommend it for that) The side and front fans are intake fans and the back and leading fans are for exhaust purposes which is a extremely affordable layout taking into consideration that it doesn't let air linger around my GPU or motherboard region. I in particular like that the front fan intakes air proper by the really hard drive bay, as I have three tough drives, it's nice to know they will be keeping cool. The only issue that produced me nervous all through the complete installation was how the front piece of this case comes off to reveal the hard drive bay and the drive slots. (cd drives card reader drives and so on.) It utilizes plastic clips which generally tends to make me nervous to detach it due to the fact I'd undoubtedly hate to break one. So lengthy as you're cautious it will not be a issue though. Brute force is never ever encouraged in placing pc components collectively anyways. :P I am a casual gamer and my GPU was acquiring also hot in my earlier laptop case. Utilizing GPU-Z my previous GPU temp when gaming got up to 72 degrees centigrade when I was playing Left for Dead with all settings maxed. ( Not cool!!) It hardly ever ever breaks 60 degrees centigrade now. This case definitely runs cooler than my earlier case. Contemplating my prior case had one particular fan as nicely as the CPU heatsink fan, that isn't saying a TON. Nonetheless, this case is silent and certainly a fantastic base with which to develop a very awesome gaming method if you so wish. I say five stars because I am 100% satisfied with this case. ( And Newegg's amazing shipping solutions as always )
