This case is great i lowered my CPU temp 20 degrees just changing the case. The wire management is to close to the mother board though. So i just removed them. There are so many mods for this thing to. If you want to run a all fan setup this is the case for you. ATM i have 5 120 mm and 1 140 mm fans in this thing and i can still add more. |

Overall not a bad case. Every panel can come off, which really helps with cable management. Externally it looks really nice, especially if you like the Nvidia branding. My one gripe is the clips they use to secure the PCI cards are not very good. They don't hold very well - I had a heck of a time with the Soundblaster X-Fi. |

This case is MUCH larger than I expected. The Nvidia green is a great touch to the case. Plenty of room for any card you want in the case. The ports for watercooling are also great (even though I'm not doing any watercooling). All in all the cae looks great and is very sturdy. |

Normally gamer edition cases are very expensive without a whole lot of actual quality, more lights than fans etc. This case has a great overall design and air flows very well through the whole system even if you don't put a fan in every slot. It does however have a lot of well laid out fan slots and even the cabling is nicely laid out. Great case, would purchase again. |

This is one sexy case. It looks amazing and the pictures don't do it justice. It is built with high performance folks in mind with a fantastic air flow the keeps all those new, hot parts nice and cool. I expect nothing less from Cooler Master. I used all stock parts in a new i7 build with all the bells and whistles and I needed no other cooling solution. The stock ones work just fine with this case. Just one note of caution, you really have to twist and bend IDE ribbon cables to connect IDE hard drives with this new drive bay design. I was just nabbing data off my old drive to toss on my new one and had grave concerns about the torture my IDE cable was undergoing. This case was definitely built with SATA in mind. Got with that and this case is a big, big winner. |

Came home and UPS was there waiting at the door. Opened box and ''WOW'', what a big case! Lotsa room, fans, cavernous came to mind. Later when installing my X58 mobo, and 1000w power box, still loads of room. Add the drives and the vid card, still lotsa room. And this is a mid case? Wonder what I been using all these years? A pretty green with the logo on the front, plenty of fan locations, both sides give access with thumbscrews.Left side window gives plenty of eye candy from inside.A bottom fan exhaust for Power boxes.I love it. They also have a plain black one for users too. |

What a great case!!! Great airflow and cooling, large enough for SLI graphics cards and all your other accessories. The green striping was awesome. |

Awesome case with great airflow. One of my computer-geek friends saw my case and wanted one himself! Comes with everything you need, and keeps things organized. |

The only thing I don't like about the case is that the power button is located on the green rail near the front edge. It's much too easy to hit that button by accident. I have done so several times already. Other than that, it's a fine case. |

great case, lots of room to work, stays cool all the time. put a liquid cooling all in one on the back and put the back fan blowing out on the top. all the air flow running a Phenom II x4 965 BE and a sli ready msi mobo, and I run at 37C on a heavy load. overall great case, huge on the inside, and lots of air flow to keep everything nice and cool. |

installed EVGA X58 SLI LE mobo, i7-920 2.66, 6GB tri channell 1333MHz ram, EVGA GTS 250 (1 for now) and 6 green LED 120mm fans for a nice green glow effect, goes well with the green trim on the case. Didn't install one on the back side of the mobo tray My first build and went well, Panicked when no screws came to mount the mobo, but found it had plenty in one of the posts on the drive bays. Toolless drive bays. Side window is nice to show off inside. Has some plastic standoffs up the right side for cabling, had to remove 2 of those to get 4 SATA cables to properly seat. Very attractive and was a good price. |

bought this case for a sli gaming rig. Have installed a Intel q9400 2.66 quadcore processor, 2x 9800 gt's in sli, and 4 gigs of ram (for now). Everything fits with room to spare. The case is made with quality. Only greivances are that I wish the case wouldve came with more installed fans, and LEDS would be another huge plus. Overall 5 out of 5 |

This is a good but not great case. There are a couple of flaws with this case. First, the front usb-firewire-eSata could have used a docking port instead of just ports available to use. The plastic clips inside the case used to organize wires give little to no room for installing a full size motherboard. And here is the biggest flaw of the case, the 80mm fan behind the CPU doesn't fit standard 80mm fans. I even bought a Cooler Master 80mm fan (maker of this case) and it didn't fit. Overall, it is a decent case, but if you want the |

Great case only three things I could think of first is the instruction are useless,the cord on the side fan could be longer I have to have the side panel right up to the case to plug in the fan cable then slowly put the side panel on with out yanking the cable out a little pain, and finally proably my fault, but it took me a min to figure out were the screws were for the case they are located inside where the cd drives go. All and all great case would recomend lots of room for graphics cards personally got a gtx 275 plenty of room. |

My new machine not only is the fastest one I have ever owned with an intel i7 920 processor but it has all the room you'll ever need for anything you can think of from extra internal drives to fans. Even liquid cooling ports in the back. |

If you want a GREAT case with ample room for whatever you think you can throw into it this is it-- no kidding, I'm thinking of putting a couch in there.. On the performance side this thing has superior cooling capabilities. The stock cooling was indeed well done but I added a few new high-rpm fans and controller - anyone for Liquid-Cooling and-or OC'ing this is a great buy for under 100 bucks. |

Overall, I have no problems with this case. Except for the 80mm fan spot on the back of the case for behind the processor. The space allowed is not big enough for standard 80mm fans. I'm not even sure they make thinner ones. With that being said, there are PLENTY of other slots for the 120mm fans so I don't think there'll be much overheating going on. |

I originally bought this case to move my old computer workings into since my original case was a slimline and had no room for upgrading components, PSU,cpu hsf, etc. Unfortunately, or actually very fortunate for me, my old computer had a proprietary mobo instead of following industry standards. Thus I couldn't mount it without major modifications to my new case. So instead, I decided to build a whole new syatem. So far I've just started with the basics, new mobo, power supply, hard drive, DVDCD ROM, 4 GB of DDR2, three additional green led fans and the graphics card I received for Christmas. It's just a start, but I found this case very easy to work with and had no problems installation-wise. And the best part is I still have so much more room for further expansion, ie, another duplicate grahics card, performance cpu hsf, and additional memory. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with this case and the green leds set it off very nicely. |

I bought this case 2 weeks ago and I really like the green trim and nVidia logo on it. I've added two 120mm green led case fans to illuminate more green to the interior of the case. CoolerMaster makes some of the best computer cases. Glad I decided to go with CoolerMaster for my gaming computer build. The only negative I have is that I bought it for $99 two weeks ago and now the case is listed for $89. |
built a few computer boxes now and found this case to be really good at what i want from one. Big enough to put H50 in and still fill fan holes.uses 40's on top. case is running almost as cold as my frig.
