Cons: Below average build quality. Poorly cut sound material, and one of the stands is shorter than the others, causing it to wobble.
Pros: Looks great, solid. Comment:
Considering the amount of money I paid for this, I expected much more. There were some bent pieces on the side panel, it wobbles, and the sound proof foam was cut poorly. Overall a good case, I guess I just got a bad one out of the factory. |

Pros: silentquality feel to itsimple designoptional fan vents Comment:
Switching to a case that is designed to be quiet made a huge difference in noise level. Not only does this case look great, but it has a quality feel to it as well. I had no problems installing my massive cpu heatsink (the Thermalright Silver Arrow). I like that the hard drive trays are made of metal instead of plastic. |

Cons:
A bit difficult to reattach side panels
Pros: SturdyNice solid color Comment:
This case is a BEAST. The color is solid and hasn't peeled off at all after 7 months of usage. The front panel is stylish and the USB ports are located at the top, making for easy connection of iPod, blackberry, headsets etc. The side panels were a little tricky to reattach though. |

Cons:
-Side panels are flimsy and cheaply constructed-Front fan guards are poorly constructed (flimsy again) -Paint peels/chips off easily (-VERY DISAPPOINTED-)-Lack of USB 3.0-Fan holes are to close together causing whining noises on higher CFM fans-Rubber hide-aways for cables fall off easily
Pros: -Looks Great-2 Included fans are sleeved and silent-Dampening material makes case much quieter -Easy installation -Lots of places to hide cables Comment:
This case looks great once constructed but does not feel as solid as cheaper cases such as the Antec 300. For the price you pay you are much better off getting something that feels much more solid and less flimsy. I wouldn't buy this again unless Fractal Design incorporates much better materials including paint that does not chip or peel. The case I received seemed already used as I noticed a number of scratches and scuffs in the hard drive bays. -NOT IMPRESSED |
One of the best cases I have built a computer with it fit noctua's big cpu cooler and 6950 xfx perfectly with spare room too. So easy to build a computer with this case. Very good quality for price.
