Cons: Some sacrifices with Hard Drive mounting. Some build quality issues.
Pros: Great Value, comes with lots of hardware` Comment:
This is a great case for a its intended market. However, its hard to get around the hard drive mounts. This is a cumbersome solution that I would like to see fixed down the road. Some build quality issues persist, nothing major but slight panel gaps and lack of cable tie downs are present. |

Pros: Nice build quality. Easy installation. No shortage of screws etc. Air flow is decent. Quiet. Comment:
For a mATX board it does its job well. Has a nice design and nice build quality. Comes with options for extra fans. The power supply bay could have been given an exhaust/intake port for better PSU air flow but it seems to run cool enough at stock speeds. Overall a very good case for the price point. |

Cons: -None that I can think.
Pros: -Light, quality build. Comment:
Bought for the wife's build and short of a loudish fan I'm quite happy with it. If you are looking for a cheap case for a cheap build, there isn't a way to really get much better than this. |

Cons: Low cost shows through in workmanshipNot 100% silent
Pros: Small caseThumbscrews everywhereDecent lookingInexpensive Comment:
This is a great little case for the price, but there was a few things like a glue residue stuck on the power button, and one of the side panel thumbscrews was bent a little.The case is very small to work with, putting the board in it was rubbing against the 5.25 cage, not bad but made contact. Required just the right angle to get in in ok.The case has very good airflow for being so small, but the front panel has holes top to bottom and this does let some sound out.Overall the issues were very minor, easily corrected, and it's been a great little case. Easily one of the smallest matx / best looking sub $40. |

Cons: rear 92 fan not includedrivets not punched correctly
Pros: Cheapquiet Comment:
Good mATX case for the price. Perfect for a low budget build. Included front intake fan is quiet but very weak. 92mm rear fan not included. One downside is that more than half of the rivets on the back of the case were not punched in correctly, the heads are sticking out at an angle. |

The case gets the job done, the fan in the front does get a bit dirty and noticeable over time but still a great solid case for a HTPC! |

Cons: harddrive mounts are non standard mounts. Forced a 90 degree mount.Buttons on the side are taking some getting used to.
Pros: Compact, quiet, perfect for web server. Comment:
Bought this case to build a web server in the office using a microATX board.Case went together smooth and is nice and quiet.The blue power light is really bright but it looks really nice at night in the office. |

Cons: -Power led is way to bright

Cons: -The front fan is a pain to get to with those push pins attached-The bottom Rubber pads for the feet were half way off-Expected more than one fan -Needs room for another 120/140mm fan-THE POWER LIGHT IS ALMOST AS BRIGHT IS THE SUN!
Pros: -Small-Light-Feels sturdy enough for the price-Fully Black inside and out-Expandable -USB 3.0 Comment:
overall this case is good for the cash if you're looking for something that doesn't look dead ugly and can still provide quiet cooling. Would only Recommend a buy if:-Need a small case-Not so much budget as the Zalman Z9+ is almost the same price and gives a lot more expand-ability -Someone who needs a basic case no bells and whistles. |
Great little case for the price, no issues. Sucks a lot of dust in through the front, so you should clean the filter screen regularly. At least its not getting inside!
