Cons: -Although there is enough room for tall HSFs, the placing of where one of the 120mm fan mounting spaces is directly above my Hyper 212+, making it impossible to install on there. Not a huge fault however, this being a mid-tower case. Not worth docking a rating for.Edit: After a week with this case, I've seen a huge flaw. The USB ports, microphone, and headphone jack on the top are connected to the top panel, so if you need to remove the top panel to screw in a fan or something, the thing just snaps, making the panel push down whenever you need to use the ports. I have since fixed this, and it works fine now. A little glue goes a long way.-My USB 2.0 ports on the front top panel don't work. I've double checked everything, and the ports were just DOA. Not a massive problem as the USB 3.0 ports do work fine, but it was disappointing.
Pros: -Great looking aesthetics-Plenty of room for tall HSFs. Hyper 212+ fits nicely inside. there is a caveat however, I'll cover it in the cons.-More than enough room for long graphic PCI-E cards. If the space is not enough (God forbid you have a card longer than 31cm), there is a removable hard drive bracket that will open up even more space.-Included 120mm blue LED fan on the front looks quite sharp given the design of the case. Just beastly.-Gives you LOTS of zip ties. Awesome. Made cable routing much easier.-Excellent air flow with just stock fans. Planning on getting more to optimize temperatures. Edit: Have since added an intake fan, exhaust fan, and extra fan to the Hyper 212+ and idle temps/load temps on my CPU went from 35C/65C to 30C/60C. Awesome.-Lots of holes on the motherboard mounting tray for cable routing, water grommets for water cooling, and an open space on the back of the CPU for easy mounting of HSFs. Comment:
Edited: All of the features of this case are excellent, but the one glaring fault of it is that you cannot completely remove the top panel without completely snapping the top panel USB and audio support. This review was modfied by poster @ 06-12-12 09:44 PM |
All-in-all I am very happy with this case. For a less than $50 case this is a great buy. Almost everything is tool-less and has modular hard drive bays which are very slick. It's also got one of the coolest case designs in my opinion.However, there are a couple issues with it. The first one being that the snaps for the top and front panels are super tight. It takes a ridiculous amount of force to remove them and it feels like something is going to break. The second and worst flaw is one of the top USB 2.0 ports came with a shotty connection from the factory. If I plug a device in it and I jiggle it even slightly something shorts and all my USB 2.0 ports stop working. Fortunately, there is a ton of USB ports and some USB 3.0 ports next to it so I can avoid the shotty port.
