Cons: space is not enough
Pros: Price, cooling system Comment:
I shouldn't complain anything base on $30 price. It is good for its price. Since I just need a new case for my old motherboard, I believe it is a wise choice, what you want for 30 bucks. But, if you are going to put some cpu heatsink, there could be space issue. |

Cons: None for this price range
Pros: PriceSize Comment:
Got this for $37.99 on sale, great price for its size and cooling options. Case can hold any decent sized video card easily, so if your going for a budget build you won't have to worry if a new GPU will fit inside. |

Cons: ThinNot so good "quality"
Pros: PriceBrand Comment:
For budget case, its not so bad but the front label with cheap plastic button dont give it a great look. The steal is thin. Thanks for the "no screw adapter" for HDD, DVD Reader. Its a good case for low budget but i know better for this price. |

Cons: Dust filters on only some of the intakes.
Pros: Great value when on sale. Lots of room; good ventilation. Toolless drive installation. Comment:
The first thing I did when I got was repaint it. (Warranty voided. :)The case was easy to work with (disassemble, sand, paint, etc). My first project turned out beautifully.It's very similar to my Antec 300, except for the extra vents on the bottom & no top fan. If its on sale, I would choose this over the Antec 300.It would have been better with filters on all the intakes. |

Cons: No cable management.
Pros: Filter for bottom mounted PSU, good price. Comment:
Bought this case for a simple build, and I wasn't disappointed. Fits ATX board beautifully. My only issue was the lack of cable management, but I was able to find a spot to hide extra psu cables so it wouldn't affect airflow. |

Cons: No cable management
Pros: 7 fan optionsHas fan filtersGood price Comment:
I got this case on sale and man was it a good deal. This case can do so much for so little. Only thing I would've liked was a bit of cable management options but hey, its a case that can have 7 fans and can hold so much for only 35 dollars. This review was modfied by poster @ 02-04-12 10:18 PM |

Cons: Just watch for sharp edges!
Pros: Price / value Comment:
Pricematched this case for $35.20 -- at that price it pretty much can't be beat. The build went together easily and everything is working great. It doesn't look like an expensive case, but for a budget build this is a very good chassis.Watch your hands though, as some blood was spilled during assembly due to sharp edges around the drive bays. |

Cons: pre-drilled 120mm fan holes slightly askew for bottom-mounting fan (unusable)
Pros: good construction, sturdy, pleasant to work in, good price for budget build. Comment:
I took a chance on this -$40 case from Coolermaster, and was pleasantly surprised. For a budget build this is just right!Apart from the bottom-mounting fan's pre-drilled holes being slightly askew, I have no complaints.Owner is satisfied, and that's what counts for me. |

Cons: the burner and the card reader I installed seem to be kinda inset a little, with they fit more flush with front of case?
Pros: Price, No of fans it supports, bottom PSU, room for everything in case, nice looks Comment:
I really like the overall features of the case , covers almost all the bases for a budget build and it looks very nice. there allways seems to be something I mod or add to cases at this price point and this one had me change the dust filter from the top to the bottom and I had to tinker with the cd burner and the card reader I installed to make them mount flush to the front as they were slightly inset. time for mod a few minutes! cost $0.00Nice case for a cheap price ,would buy again! |

Cons: Audio cabling, cable management
Pros: Roomy, pricing Comment:
I really like this case. Lots of room inside, plenty of fan expandability, dust filters and bottom mounted PSU is a great feature. However, the HD front audiocable is just short enough that it is a pain to get over anything in the PCIE slot. Its a stretch for sure. No cable management either, but I was aware of this when I picked it up. |

Cons: I honestly can't think of any
Pros: Nice finish on the front panel, lots of fan locations, easy locking system for drives Comment:
This is just a great basic case. The front panel is shiny black, power, reset, power LED and HDD LED, 2 USB's and two audio jacks, and a big fan slot in the front, a vent on the bottom for the power supply, two fan slots in the top, two in the side cover, and one in the back. Installation was a piece of cake, though it did get a little cramped with the liquid cooler. Overall it's a simple, basic case that looks nice and has all the bases covered. |

Cons: Dust filters on exhaust? Why would you need this? It doesn't even make sense! Dust filters should be on intake, and should be on all intakes, NOT on exhaust. I pulled mine out. It is possible to add extra filters but they can be a pain
Pros: Price. Ventilation. Price. Bottom Mount P/S. Price. Comment:
Overall I would buy again, the price is amaizing. It has as much ventilation as my 100$ thermaltake case. Although it is not as sturdy and lacks some things, the case is still very good value. The biggest bonus is there are mounts for 7 case fans!! Temperature has always been overlooked, causing early component failure. This case will keep your stuff cool! Also a bottom mount power supply is great. This way the p/s intakes external air rather then the hot air floating around the top of the case. Again this will make it last longer. I do have to say the fan filters were designed by someone who clearly doesn't understand what fan filters are meant for. They would be there to screen out incoming air to remove dust so there is no build up on components. This case has the filter on the top of the case, which by its own diagrams are the exhaust ports (also heat rises so clearly they would be exhaust.) I removed this filter as it is pointless and could only serve to waste space and slow down air flow. That is my only complaint about the case. |
This is an okay case for what it sells for, but for anything serious and reliable, I'd avoid it at all costs just out of the fact because it's quite flimsy.The good side of this case is there's lots of room. However the real pain in the neck is this case doesn't really offer much options in terms of cable management.
