tough, quiet case fan, metal front, adequate ventilation front panel attaches in a cheap way, gimmicky side fan, motherboard I/O alignment difficulty, odd assortment of screws and spacers The front panel snaps into location by way of plastic pegs that fit into holes in the metal frame; I'm not also impressed by it. It seems to be safe, but I don't care for this arrangement. I also had a challenge with the mobo ports being also low and not lining up with the I/O plate. I had to use washers beneath the included brass spacers. This could be my motherboard (ASUS P5Q SE) but I'm not so certain that's the challenge. The case only came with four of the standard hex head phillips screws I'm employed to for mobo mounting; how several ATX mobos have only 4 mounting holes? It does have more screws of a finer thread, along with the corresponding spacers, but I've never noticed this apparent shortage in case hardware ahead of. Like I mentioned, the case is fine, I left the side fan disconnected because it's cheesy, but I wouldn't obtain once again. |

This case is uncomplicated and really simple to setup. I have you applied it for my gaming rid and household computers. The really hard drive bays are turned to the side of the case so if you have a massive graphics card it tends to make it significantly less complicated to set up. All drive bays for tough drives and for media drives are effortless to install and no screws necessary Wish it came with a 120mm fan in the front also. If you are on a spending budget or not this case is big sufficient to accommodate everyone from casual to gamer. If you are going to go with the new ATI 5890's they are bigger and two would make the room tight inside so a bigger case would be excellent. |

Ordered Sat, arrived on Tues.Good appear/finishWires are labeledYou can fully remove front panel with no it becoming tetheredJust about every thing went in smoothly. Had to take the tough drive bay out to set up front fan. Box was mildly broken on arrival. No harm completed to the case, so I'll let that slide.No reset button? What's up with that? It's not in the case, screw packaging, plastic covering. I merely didn't get one. Sorry, but I have to slice an egg for that.Instructions are Very vague, despite the fact that most is self explanatory. Great case for the value. I like how its showy but not 'HEY! IM A Pc CASE WITH Very ANNOYING Bright LIGHTS!'I did not get a reset button with the case. I looked everywhere three-four instances over for one. It simply does not exist. Luckily my pal had the exact same case and I was capable to steal his. |

Fantastic airflow with space for up to 3 120mm fans. The LED lights and Aluminum front finish truly make this case visually pleasing. Great style. The tool-totally free design to my surprise really worked. My HD and DVD-ROM snapped correct in. Great case for a basic house/office pc develop. None. |

Very good case for a excellent value. Almost everything fits excellent with lots of room. Tool-totally free design is great, although you will need to have a screwdriver anyway. Staying actual cool with my technique, seems to have optimal airflow. Good case for the price tag, some led's but not as well flashy. User manual is nondescript. Would like to have more fans come with the case, since there is area for them. Really open air design and style may possibly not be good for dusty situations. If you set up a front intake fan (you really should-120mm) 1 may possibly wish to add some filters in the mesh beveled corners to prevent excessive dust entry. I give this 5 eggs. Good case without having spending too a lot. Very good for average builds. |

This case is specifically what I was seeking for--black, basic and clean lines with no unnecessary frills. It comes with excellent cooling options and plenty of further locations to put fans. The tooless feature was odd at initial, but when you figure it out it's gold. Booklet it comes with is a bit vague, but its quite significantly self-explanatory. I really like this case! I'm glad I purchased it. |

The virtually tool-less design and style is good, just be cautious not to break the plastic bits in teh back when installing addon cards to the mobo. Nothing at all really unfavorable to say about the case. the challenging drive mounting location could be further to the correct side of the case, so that the wires aren't so smushed, but it's no biggy. |

This case was very straightforward to put with each other I only necessary one Phillips head screwdriver, good paint job the fans do their job effectively, the front fire wire port generally nice. Nonetheless the two major selling points for me was that it didn't have a side window and its nice and low-cost. The manual does get the point across but as a initial time builder I want it could have elaborated a bit a lot more. |

Fantastic Case. Rounded edges no scratches and cuts to your hands and arms. Adore the painted metal inside as properly as outdoors. Could use the screw-less brackets on both sides of the devices somehow. Had to use screws on the motherboard side due to the fact screw-significantly less brackets weren't adequate. |

- Nice hunting case, the front of it has a good clean appear. Not complete of LEDs that are also bright and annoying, just the way I like it.- The case is extremely sturdy. Already due to my butterfingers the aluminum faceplate went flying when I was attempting to pry it off and it sustained no dents or scratches so it can deal with me- It was incredibly straightforward to set up most of my personal computer parts. I am loving the largely tooless design and style. - The motherboard was a royal discomfort to screw in, particularly when I accidentally applied some Xeon offsets as an alternative and the screw kinda fell into it and I had a difficult time finding it out. These should be additional clearly labeled.- When the motherboard, drives and energy supply had been all installed it was really hard to work with some of the cables due to the lack of area amongst the motherboard and the bays, specially the sata cables- The reset button also flew off when the front came off and I had to devote some time trying to discover it. Thankfully it was quite simple to get back on.- There were a handful of cables that I under no circumstances located out where to place them. I got this case whilst it was on sale for so it was a fantastic deal all points regarded as. And also contemplating the weight of my rig now that it's all place collectively I'm not confident if I would want more x_x |

Incredibly sturdy case, much much more so than I expected for the cost. Largely tool-much less design is good, and adequate area to wok quickly with an ATX mobo. Also looks much better in individual than in the pics, very nice with the brides metal on the front also. The front panel is a PIA to eliminate devoid of pliers, and the covers for five.25" drives are a pain to eliminate as properly. Extremely quiet fans integrated with the system, I can't hear it at all more than the ambient noise in the room (ac unit, fan, etc) |

Lots of area. Organized quite effectively with the potential to hide most, if not all of your wires with ease. There are far more sharp edges on this factor than a Chinese star! Be cautious installing components. The front 140mm fan opening is covered half way by the frame and blocks air movement in. The plastic clips that hold the expansion cards in spot just make sure the cards won't fall out. But do not steady or hold the cards tight at all. may well be somewhat of a problem for video cards with heavy heatsinks. Fortunately there are still screw holes present. All round a nice case. The front panel removes quite easily, but will surely not fall off. The drive bay covers are okay also. |

Strong structure, Much more than enough space for my full size intel board, artic freezer 7 pro and 8800gts. Harddrives are very effortless to access. Blue leds are not to vibrant, just sufficient to give a tiny glow at evening. Very best portion about the case is that when you remove the front panel you dont have to worry about the wires from the leds and switches. They are all attached to the case rather than the front panel. Front 120mmfan is a bit difficult to set up but nothing at all a small foot to fan cant repair. |

Chasis has a wide body that is handy for substantial Motherboards and graphics cards. Nonetheless wiring underneath the motherboard is tricky and and the side mounted HDD, bays are awkward for SATA cables. I would only recommend this case for builders intending to stick with 1 Hard drive. |

Quite high good quality feel, really uncomplicated to figure out, good really feel, understated lighting None so far I bought this tower for my initially ever create - it went incredibly smoothly. I was seriously surprised at how easily everything came with each other. As far as high quality, it's challenging to inform obtaining on the web, but this case seems genuinely nice - it's quite sleek hunting and the front panel has a nice brushed anodized aluminum feel. I wanted something 1 step up from boring but not crazy green lights and see-thru panels. The blue LED lighting on the sides of the front panel is good and understated - it gives it some character devoid of being intense. I'm seriously pleased with this case. |

Keeps my elements cool. Haven't had my CPU on stock cooler to attain 50 degrees Celsius however. (With ATI Radeon HD 4780 operating beneath load.)Roomy. Lots of area for all of your elements.Huge. (I can be sincere and say that I like to be showy at occasions.)Other reviewers have mentioned the LED's are bright, but I barely notice them.LED's are a good aesthetic touch.Straightforward to set up components. A tool-less case. (Other than the motherboard.) About 20lbs., but w/ adrenaline rush of acquiring new case need to be effortless to lift.Refer to other component guidelines for figuring out what case pieces to use. This case comes w/ several screws and motherboard stand-offs and components that only specific elements call for. Be certain to use what you require and no added.Seemed to be oily out of box. It could've been my fault and I didn't notice it till later, but I don't think so. Not incredibly noticeable from even 3 feet away, but any closer or in high light and it could be.H.D.D. and Energy headers don't determine which wire is the energy and which is the ground. I have the energy light working but so far I haven't noticed a light indicating any h.d.d. activity, so orientation may be important. Not an essential or necessary feature, but good to know and perform.Drive bay clip forced optical drive to the suitable side of case, leaving gap on side. No fancy card reader ports. Just USB, mic, headphone, and firewire. |

I really like the toolless design. Makes installing every thing a breeze. The fans are quiet and gives great airflow to the mobo. The cables to connect to the mobo are also nicely labeled. I like the LEDs in the front. Offers it a cool appear without having being as well ostentatious. However, the airflow more than the really hard drives sucks. This can be a issue if you fill up the rack with some hotter HDs such as the Hitachi Deskstars. Fortunately, you can install yet another fan in front of the HD rack, but it takes a bit of elbow grease to take the rack out and place it back together. Wonderful for a simple build. If you only strategy to set up 1 or two HDs, don't worry also considerably about the heat situation. |

Excellent case for the price tag, excellent cooling program, 120mm fans ƒ integrated, 3 areas), good layout, nice looking screwless technique of the foward-facing drives is wonky and complicated to use, position of side-facing (internal) drives is too close to case wall (for cabeling), sheet-metal screw holes resulted in a couple of "infinite turning" screws. The snap-on rails for the side-facing (internal) HD bays are substantially more favorable to the screw-significantly less technique on the forward facing bays. With the five.25" bays, the screwless program worked fairly properly since lining up the screw holes was much simpler. But with the 3.five" bays, lining up was tough, resulting in a bent rail (which still operates). But the entire method is primarily based on friction on one side - I'd recommend nonetheless utilizing at least 1 screw on the one side. As for the side-facing bays, the snap on rails are amazing and worked nicely. I just wish I had far more room for cabeling. On my SATA drives, the energy/bus cables misaligned when I closed up the case. There isn't substantially area. An additional half inch of space, and I'd be golden. |

I really like this case. I took a look at a quantity of other mid-tower situations prior to deciding on this one particular and so far I assume it is one particular of the superior for good quality versus price tag. I like the 7" fans and ventilation setup. It comes with an outlet fan on the rear and an inlet fan on the door, but is setup to add an additional inlet fan on the front next to the 3.five" difficult drive bays. It is a decently constructed mid-tower with lots of space for more cards and drives. I've constructed two systems with this case and am planning two a lot more. I'm going to continue using it until I identify anything superior. I'm not terribly thrilled with the tool-significantly less installation for the add-in cards. They look a little flimsy and don't lock the cards as nicely as I'd like. But, they also have holes for securing the cards with screws, which is what I do, so no true challenge. |

I was hesitant to obtain a screwless sort case but installation of the elements is a breeze. It took below an hour to set up everything. This is the 4th I've built and for the price the worth of the case is much more than worth it. I would invest twice as substantially, fans are very quiet and hold almost everything at a cool 44. None My EVGA MOBO fit completely along with almost everything else. The blue lights on either side are a good addition, not as well vibrant to be annoying. |
Excellent case for the income, well built, not gawdy hunting like some other ones, the blue accent leds are a good touch and not also bright. The energy LED is a tad brignt, but nothing at all some electrical tape can't solve. The tool less harrdrive sliders are extremely nice. The tool significantly less five.25" drive sliders are ok, but considering that its only on one side, the other side will nevertheless slide slightly if you have a front panel with plugs (such as a front panel for a sound card), and you try plugging in things the bay device will slide back, so you have to add screws to the other side to maintain it from moving. -Paired with my motherboard (GA-MA790x-UD4P), the SATA headers are a incredibly tight fit, due to the SATA bank being sideways facing, you gotta do some real fancy cable-fu to get those sata headers/cables to match with no ripping the cable or socket... Oh, WHY ARE THERE three Forms OF MOTHERBOARD STANDOFFS?!?!?!?!?? - Just make positive to pair the correct screw up with the correct standoff... otherwise you'll curse like a sailor.Bought four days prior to a sale on this case. oh properly. The two 120m fans incorporated are rear/side, ahead of installing your hardware, I would suggest moving the side one to the front (you have to remove the front panel to reach the screw holes), so you can add another 120mm later with ease. Not a massive gripe, but there's no way to hide extra energy cables behind the motherboard tray devoid of dremeling the case to feed wires behind.
