This is a great case for the price range. If you want a low-key everyday general use box, look no further. When I got it, the box had not been treated the best so i was a little worried, but the case itself was fine. The PS is adequate, has 2 SATA plugs, and is quieter than I expected. The case has room for 3 hard drives, and as mentioned previously, is all screw-together. If you want a gaming rig that you will be swapping things in and out of, you might want to look at a different case. |

i like the fact that it has usb and audio slots in the front.. its a sleek, and sturdy case. Everthing fits right. it also comes with a system fan, which i thought was pretty cool.. I replace that cone looking thing with another fan for more a cool box.. all in all a good case, no complaint. If your looking for a decent case this is it... |

Very few things to really say good about this case, The good... 1 the front audio jacks have a wire that is blocked together so all you gotta do is plug the block of wires in the main board labeled for it all in one shot. Most cases have each wire for the front audio separated and you need friggin tweezers to put then on one at a time. 2 it has a nice large fan in the back for more air flow. 3 it has plenty of space for additional drives. The bad, its super plain. nothing interesting about its look. It also does not have any sort of quick connectors for installing drives. It's totally old school case. Screw driver and screws to mount everything. The side panels will take you about a good 3 to 5 minutes to get back on because the alignment design stinks But all in all it does it's job. |

Bought this as part of a barebones system. It does the job - barely. Biggest gripe, inadequate power supply. Part of the reason I bought the case was for the 7-8 slots ... but the power supply is not adequate for hardly two. In addition, the case is kind of flimsy - but as stated, it does the job. If I had the option to re-purchase this, I would not, and instead go for a case with an adequate power supply. |

For the price, I don't I don't see how this product can be beat. Once everything was installed, I was extremely and pleasantly surprised at how quiet everything run. There is hardly a whisper while running. The thing I wish it had was a restart button, but I knew that to begin with. |

Not a bad case. A little tap with a hammer and the face plate sat in flush. |

Easy to work with, plenty of room to install peripherals but I would like to see a much larger power supply. 300W is hardly big enough if you wish to add more HDDs or other peripherals! |

A poor design for the cooling fan, as it creates a lot of noise blowing through the tiny holes in the rear of the case. I ended up cutting out the meshed area to quiet it down.. much better now, but the cooling holes for the CPU fan suffer the same problem. Next time I would buy a different case than this one. |

Lets start of with UPS shipping it to the other side of the city. Took two exta days to recieve it and had a ding in the back of the case.I know it here but you can not see unless you look for it or have to open the case up. Other then that is a sharp looking case. A little under powerd but alright for what I'm using it for. Multi media computer for HDTV. |

Bought as part of a barebones bundle. the rear corner of the cover was bent right out of the box. I bent it back as best I could,not worth sending it back. The sheet metal is very thin. The case serves it's purpose. |

this case came with a bare bone kit. It serves it's purpose. The 300Watt power supply is an the light side. Took no time at all to load it up. Seems to be working fine. |

Bought this as part of 2 bare bones kits. One case had a corner apparently dented during manufacturing as the packaging was perfect. Not worth the hassle of sending back. The case in the other kit was fine. Easy to install stuff into. |

For the money it is OK. I would have given it a higher rating if it had actually come with the 300 watt PSU. Only came with a 285 watt PSU. |

This was a surprise! The case quality was excellent, no sharp edges, and all my components fit well. The power supply tested perfect in all parameters before I installed the components. It has run for two weeks solid without a problem. I'm very happy with the tower. It's very spacious, comes with everything you need, and it's easy to work with, when installing and removing hardware. |

This was a suprise! The case quality was excellent, no sharp edges, and all my components fit well. (yes you have to use screws, but I like using screws) The power supply tested perfect in all parameters before I installed the components. (the PS does have two SATA connections)and has run for two weeks solid without a problem. The PS is more than adequate for basic computer usage. Biostar A780GM2+SE MOBO, AMD 64X2 CPU, Corsair 2GB RAM, internal speaker, Light-On DVD. All in all, this is a fine budget case. |

Have built numerous systems lately and although I can't say this is my favorit case, it is a good choice for budget minded PC's. The front high def audio-port has had some issues and would like a better drive layout. Still, good case for the price. |

Pros: It was very easy to work with and there were no problems at all with installation. I would suggest this case for people who just wants a quality budget case. It came with a fan duct, which was a nice surprise..... Cons: Case was dented upon arrival on the center top part of the case. The expansion slots had metal pieces that were punched out instead of screwed in; once they're out, you can't really put them back in, leaving a hole in the case. They do have two replacement covers to solve this issue though. The fan duct doesn't line up with the processor which was no big deal for what we were doing...... Other Thoughts: Tiger Direct was fast as always, they never cease to amaze! |
Part of a barebones kit..Works great and a good deal.
