Product Reviews
I wanted to add a front USB 3.0 panel and hot swap bay to my current rig but since it would've cost me $40~$50, I figured I just buy a whole new case instead.For the price, I'm surprised how well its built. The side panels flex somewhat, but they attech very snuggly, and nothing about the case feels cheap. There are plenty of fan placements and dust filters all over the case.The only issue I encountered during assembly was the top/rear fan holder. The clip for it blocked my board's 8-pin power connector so I had to pull it out.My biggest issue with it is the two-channel fan controller. It makes a buzzing noise if you run any fan below about 90%. If you use very high speed fans, you won't notice it, but for a quiet build, it's awful. The power LED is too bright IMO and it's wired to the controller so you can't disable it seperately. There's a spot for a fan on the side panel but nothing to cover it - if you don't use it, there's a big gaping hole. On the inside, a couple of cable routing holes should be closer to the edge of the motherboard tray. I'd also like to see some more room between the drive cage and tray. A eject mechanism for the hot swap bay would've been nice but it's rare to see on any case.
