Cons: Flimsy Plastic Support Legs, Noisy 120mm rear Exhaust Fan
Pros: Size, Cooling, Look Comment:
The Case is huge allowing you to route cables to apropriate places in the case without looking messy. If offers great cooling ability and the supplied fan has a high flow rate but is extremly noisy without hooking it up to a fan control. The plastic fold out support legs are a nice option but feel really cheap and i don't know how long they will last. |

Cons: it needs to come with an instruction manual on the OUTSIDE of the case. took me 15 mins to find the keys hah.
Pros: size, fans, look and lights. Comment:
So far I really like it, very spacious, very easy to take apart and put back together. if i need the front off, it slides right off, same with the side. also, NO SCREWS[for the most part]. the above picture isnt that great. google for a good shot of it. |

Cons: door could open farther
Pros: big,roomy,comes with fans. Comment:
bought this for customer as I own the black one. They have changed the nockouts for the pci cards which are replaceable. You need a fan controller with supplied fans as are noisy. |

Cons: This whole case is too crapy too weak...
Pros: I wouldn't buy again!!! Comment:
This balance is very bad on the case. It shakes when the computre starts and when the hard drive spins. The worst part is that the key comes with the package could not open the lock. The door conflicts with some of cd/dvd drive like Panasoic or Liteon that have a large buttons, or you need to push the drive further back.I would buy a much better case at the price!!! |

Cons: none
Pros: Comes with fansGreat CoolingTop USB PortsSide Panel Window Comment:
This case droped the temperature on my Athlon 64 3400+ from old case 38C Idle to Sunbeam Transformer 29C Idle and from old case Load 50C to Sunbeam Transformer Load 39C. The case temperature in the Transformer is from Low 26C to Max 33C. This is a great case comes with 1 Cold Cathode Light, 3 80mm LED fans, 1 120mm fan, and also has room for another 120mm fan in the front. The side window looks good also.Make sure when your putting in Video Cards etc, you remove the metal cover so you can screw in the components. The metal cover seams to have no logical purpose being there to begin with. |

Cons: Non Removable MB tray, Green CC on front instead of blue (5.00 USD), Would like extendable wheels instead of feet (case is HUGE, I am going to mod this myself)
Pros: Automotive Finish, Tooless Entry, 120mm In/Out colling fans, HUGE interior for mods, Cost $60.00 USD less than comparable cases Comment:
Beautiful finish, nice side window, lots of fans very well placed, lots of room for internal mods.Mods I am going to do (done)Replace extendable feet to extendable wheels. Paint front fan cover silver to match design in top hinged cover. Putting SLI setup in and watercooling CPU and both vidcards, so I am adding 120mm radiator to rear and 2 80mm rads to the top blowhole and middle sidepanel. Opening up rear 120mm grill and putting a blade fan guard in to match the top and side panel fans. Change green 4" cathode to blue. Putting in a dual 12" UV light. All tubing, wiring and connections will be blue UV reactive. Going in the 5.25" bays are:5 fan reostat controller in silver, clear resevoir for coolant(blue UV reactive), Multicard reader, and 2 NEC 16x DVDr's (fronts painted blue to match case.Going in the 2 3.5" bays are:4 fan reostat controller in silver, floppy (blue front).Using Black mirror finish Rosewill 550w powersupply with side window and blue led 120mm fan.Using Gigabyte SLI motherboard and nVidia 6800GT's, circuit boards are blue.Obviously, theme is blue and silverCase is fantastic value. Thermaltake Samurai is a close match, and its over $150.00 USD. |
I got the black case today and it was quite large, actualy it almost didn't fit in the Tower spot of the desk.Side mounted HD is a great benefit and a downfall in a way. Very easy to install but I have a IDE to Sata adapter for my HD and the side of the case actually bends the sata cord a little when i put it on. I'm going to fix that by buying a smaller sata adapter. All I needed was about 1/2" or so would have been fine.The top USB/Auido plugs are a nice touch if you have the computer in a wide open space but if you put it in the Tower spot of a computer desk (if you have one that is) you have to pull the case out a bit, again not necissarily a "flaw" of the case it is a flaw of my setup so to speak. Overall so far I really do enjoy this case I don't really think it's that noisy over anything else I've heard from past computers. This thing blows a lot of air. I'm currently idleing around 29c (mainboard temp). This review was modfied by poster @ 06-29-07 01:42 AM
