Cons:
-Side panel/window could use a fan slot, but that's about it. I think my GPU's will do taking in air from the front fan - the HDD cage is rotatable so that'd at least promote better airflow.-May need some more front connectors (my ol' CM 690 had a Firewire & eSATA in addition to what this has, but that's not an issue for me). Considering the ports don't detach along with the removable top like on the CM 690 I could actually consider this a pro.-No external 3.5" - 5.25" adapters included (will be able reuse one from my 690 that has a near-matching front plate anyway so no biggie)-No grommets for top fans and no good, cheap way to purchase them in Canada (but the hard drive bay screws use similar grommets that also fit fan screws anyway so not a huge issue once again)
Pros: -Seriously high quality case that unfortunately goes unnoticed most of the time-Holy tool-less batman.... it's almost completely tool-less!-Silver interior (I actually prefer this over a black one; matches my PSU & board colours better)-Nice, big window-Great-looking exterior-Fairly sufficient cooling-Affordable Lian-Li quality! |

Cons:
Wish there was more space behind the mobo tray for cable routing.Tool-less PCI clips feel a bit loose.
Pros: Large, nice airflow, fairly quiet stock fans, excellent tool-less mounting systems, sidepanel window gives a great view of the internals Comment:
The included thumbscrews make installing the motherboard a breeze. (Except for the usual problem I have with I/O panels. However, that isn't the fault of the case.)The hard drive installation is great as well. You can take the trays outside of the case.The stock fans included with the case are fairly quiet. You can hear them hum from about a meter away, but they're not annoying to me. They move a decent amount of air.I have my doubts about the integrity of the 5.25" tool-less clip, but I guess they're alright. When I was installing my DVD burner, the clip flexed quite a bit.The tool-less PCI slot clips are the most worrisome part of the case IMHO. They don't feel very tight. I'd be more comfortable with standard screws. In any case (no pun intended), I'd recommend this case. :) |

Cons:
Mounting kit required for top fans.
Pros: Tool-less installation. Comment:
Well, my old Thermaltake Xaser II case which I've had for eight years now has run its course and it was time for an upgrade. I first had the PC K62 version in mind but then I saw this one at a much cheaper price. The only difference is the lack of interior painting and two exhaust fans at the top which I don't mind. Even with one 140mm intake and 120mm exhaust, it still cools my system very well.Great quality, lighter than my old Xaser II case and I've never had such an easier time installing my parts in it with its awesome tool less design. Cable management is also a breeze compared to my old case which I struggled with.If you have the $$$ get the PC-K62 version but if you're on a budget like me, this one does the job just as well.Giving it a 4/5 stars just cause you're forced to get the mounting kit should you decided to install the top fans (that or mod the case yourself). |

Cons:
Inadequate room to fit ATX/EPS 12V wire to plug into moboOrientation of HDD cage not optimal (but changable)no EXT 3.5" bay
Pros: Truly toolless designVery good build qualityGood PSU mounting mechanismGood cable management scheme Comment:
This is a very well built case. It made building a computer a very enjoyable experience. Everything was toolless and the PSU mounting mechanism was very easy and secure. Only thing was it was difficult to route the ATX/EPS12V cable through the back if you have already mounted the motherboard. Would definitely purchase again. |
I found a great price for this case so decided to pull the trigger & pricematch and go for the buy. I don't have it yet (one more payment procedure) but I can tell this is going to be an excellent new home for my rig.Everything just seems so much better - the tool-less features, the cable management/mobo tray hole, rotatable HDD cage - and it looks very good too with both the exterior design and the simplistic side window compared to the K62 model. Cooling is fairly good too, with the rear fan/top fan for CPU-area cooling. GPU cooling could use a bit of an improvement, you'll only have the air from the front fan blowing towards the GPU's. With the rotatable HDD cage it might help anyways.Anyways, points down and all, I'd definitely recommend this case to anyone else that can somehow get this case for around $63 (before tax) like I dideven then, I wouldn't even mind paying more for this is a seriously high-quality case that seems to go by unnoticed most of the time.
