PROS: Great looking case, good size that doesn't look out of place if you place next to your TV.Good cooling if you want to run silent or if you want to overclock, but you have to pick your components carefully. It will fit all your core computer parts easily. Easy to move due to its size and weight, great for LANs. CONS: This will take a noticable longer time to assemble since you will have to follow the instructions carefully to get everything in the case properly the first time. Making changes after the case is built will noramlly require you to remove the 3.5'' Bracket and either the PSU or the hard drive mounts. 1 DVD drive max. 2 Hard drives max. Single 120mm probably won't be enough for most users. Requires two screw drivers to assemble, disassemble. Keep in mind: Make sure your PSU is long enough to extend completly over the CPU. 2x 120mm fan are required. Make sure your GPU blows are towards the back of the case. The NT06 isn't not going to work for most users.

Cons: Stupid and thoughtless front HD mount, no spare non-standard screws, manual is vague. PS blocks side grill making this a *non-window* case for all purposes.No stealth drive cover.

Pros: Very Compact, gorgeous finish, Lightwight but sturdy aluminum. Easy remove-front fanpanel. Rear-top PCI bracket for expansion devices.
Comment:
A very, very nice case with a few facepalms that mar it's prefection in the mATX realm.Firstly, the Side-mount PS restricts the use of most aftermarket coolers, and the side grill is basically filled by it, so get a PSU with a 120mm fan so at least it doesnt look too cheesy. If you expected that grill to be a window, you'll be dissapointed.The HD mounts (there is 2) looks like a great idea until you start to work with it.- Solid, heavy gauge flip-out cages would make great HD heatsinks, but they decide to go with a redundant and pointless plastic "tool-less" mount. Well the tool-less is stupid if you need to take screws out anyways to clear the cages. Not a lot of thought here.- The front HD mount won't let you mount an HD with cables-in, just cables out. Problem is that the side mount 3.5" mount bar will crimp and put strain on the sata connecters of the hard Drive. 1/2" of more clearance, or a cut-out on the support bar would have allevied this. Poor design here.The manual is poorly translated and has unclear diagrams.The front Fan mount is very easy to remove, looks great and holds 2 120mm fans. The included fan is **NOT** green, but a standard Silverstone model of average noise level. I love this front mount because it is very easy to remove. one problem though, the front metal grill is plastic "clipped" in (like car speaker grills), and you need to remove it to clean the filter (non-removable) and remove the fans. Do this a couple times and you will likely damage the metal grill.I love the fact they include a PCI braket at the top of the case. Every MFG should do this. It gives you a spare slot for things like expansion-cards, fan speed controlers. Anything that doesnt need to plug into a motherboard slot but would otherwise take up space.They give you a 4-pin CPU power extension so you shouldnt get carpal tunnel trying to plug it in with the PSU covering the mobo, just don't forget to use it like I did (doh). Also, good luck if your ATX power plug is mounted near the back panel plugs in the middle of the board. Really, good luck. :PLastly, there is no stealth drive bay cover, so you get stuck with an ugly black dvd drive on an all-silver front.No this may sound like a negative review, but honestly, this is one of the smallest mATX cases you can get and it really looks amazing and expensive. Not for high-end gaming systems unless you can work around the size, but a definite 4 Stars in my books. Here's hoping they make a revision 2 looking at my concerns. I would still give this a "Stong Buy" if you need a small but classy mATX case.It's not often flaws this big make me want to give it 4 stars, but I have worked with -a lot- of mATX cases, and this one is still very appealing to me for it's size and expensive look. 4 Solid stars. (just make sure you have a bit of patience and can work with the quibbles) This review was modfied by poster @ 12-13-08 10:39 PM
