Simply place, a fantastic case. Comes with 4 fans, 3 of which are monsters that move lots of air. On-board fan-speed controller/LED on/off switch, Four usb's on the front alternatively of the usual two.Incredibly good to construct in. A lot of room. Will fit the longest 5900, and now 6900 series Radeon Cards with out a dilemma. LOTS of storage bays, and everything is tool-much less. I did the whole build with a screwdriver for the motherboard.Cable management is very good.. not Great, but not undesirable either. Plenty of area and a number of cutouts make routing cables to the best corner and sides of the motherboard easy. Its the Sata/Front Panel cables that will be difficult, mainly because the motherboard tray doesn't extend to the hard-drive cages.. there is about a two inch gap. Nonetheless.. Really uncomplicated if you use a small imagination. Nevertheless, if you cables managed to the point exactly where you will win awards.. although doable in this case, you'll in all probability have an simpler time with some thing like the Corsair 800D. -Some folks may well discover this case Major. Compare the measurements.. Its almost identical in size to the HAF X.. In fact, its slightly wider than the X.. and the Corsair 800D is only a inch longer than it. Size wise, this is a complete tower. Mobo compatibility.. nevertheless a mid.-Cable Management will take some creativity to be Completely tucked away. For the typical person who wants a tidy case, need to be fine.Honestly, other than that.. This is an amazing case. And for me, those cons dont hold correct.. They may possibly for some persons. Really, extremely satisfied with this case. Leaves a great quantity of room for expansion in the future. Im presently adding and upgrading items to my make, and its wonderful to be able to order a handful of difficult drives, and SSD and a bunch of fans, figuring out that Ill have no issue fitting anything in there.Construct Essentials:Asus M4A89GTD PRO USB3AMD Phenom II X4 965ʃ.8ghzG.

RoomyLight for it's sizeSturdyQuiet for what it is Would be good if there was additional space exactly where the heatsink bolts to the motherboard. Really common challenge with lots of circumstances. Far a lot more quiet than any server. When it's on the floor, it's not as noisy as the small fan on my desk. A lot more noisy than the "silent" stuff you may well use for a HTPC. That's running all the case fans (plus an added one particular in the bottom) on max. |

Loads of Space.Lots of space for wiring.Immense opportunity for cooling.Can't imagine not possessing room for any regular computing device. Appears cool, if you like a thing a tiny additional than just a box, and the best has handles constructed in. I ended up utilizing an extra fan controller so I could manage far more fans than the case would let. Which worked fine, but would have liked a few a lot more plugs.Its bulky, listen to other reviewers about this. It actually is full tower feeling and a bit wider than other situations mainly because of the side panels (which is also a plus since you have LOTS of room for wiring behind the mobo). I don't personally contemplate this a con if you actually read up on what you're purchasing, or make the effort to see 1 in person. I've noticed some reviewers saying they can't seem to get cool with this case. You fail. Sorry to say it, but you can make a cyclone in this case if you want to. There's no explanation you need to overheat in this case outdoors of intense overclocking. And it has holes for permitting the addition of liquid cooling. For the cost and the characteristics, there's not much you can't make this case do, now and in the future. I've had it more than a year and don't regret any bit of owning it. |

The case is really huge and has 3 huge 200mm fans that move a lot of air with out also significantly noise. The tool-much less optical drive bays and 5.25" bezels work wonderfully. The tool-less difficult drive bays work and present the selection to use two screws anyway. The motherboard tray has markings for ATX and Micro-ATX boards, and the standoffs come with a tool to support screw them in to the motherboard tray. The fan controller is entertaining to play with, and the option to turn off the LEDs is nice. There is a lot of area behind the motherboard tray to hide cables, and places to attach zip ties to. I don't like tool-much less circumstances that significantly, and these tough drive brackets and PCI card "clamps" reinforce that. The really hard drive brackets are challenging to get on a tough drive and are hard to get into the difficult drive cage since the really hard drive has messed up some rubber grommets. The clamps used to hold the PCI cards to the case are annoying. I have a dual slot video card (so does almost everyone else) and I could get only 1 of the clamps down with considerable force. The other 1 refused to operate. Seriously, this is a gamer case and gamers have dual slot video cards. General, though, it holds the cards in place. The energy and difficult drive LEDs are actually bright. This case is truly massive! Make certain that you have area for it and your power provide cables will reach! All round, I enjoy this case and would propose it. Final note: The case fans are quiet but not silent, so silent Pc enthusiasts should appear for one thing else. |

It holds every thing i will need it too, and then some. It isn't free of charge! Absolutely nothing worth dropin a egg over, but whom ever assembled it treated the case with a lil ruff love. They pushed the backplate into place then cross thread the retention screws. Wouldn't mention this, but they also forced in all the hdd bays cockeyed. |

A lot of filtered airflow (COOLER master of course), four stock fans, layout, side mounted drives, craftsmanship all fantastic. Energy, plugs, and fan/LED controllers are incredibly conveniently located for a rig that sits under my operate surface. (off and beside my desk). Amazing cable management! Cables are labeled and extremely easy to figure out what goes where.I seriously like the bottom PSU mount and developed so that the fan faces down and out of the case hence leaving air inside the case to additional effectively cool other components.Simple to move around with metal reinforced top rated handles. Not truly a con. As with many circumstances, side panels can be a bit tricky to get on appropriately, just take your time and don't rush and they fit and operate nicely. Purchased this case to property my initial custom create. Took a couple of weeks of casual shopping and study to arrive at the chassis that was just proper. Decided on this 1! Incredibly good searching case inside and out! Equally as functional! Top rated place and angled orientation of USB plugs, energy and fan controller buttons are amazing for a rig sitting Beneath your function surface therefore would not be a bit tricky to reach if you want your rig to sit ON your perform surface.Planned construct (still researching)(for gaming, image/video editing and 3d rendering):Case - COOLER MASTER Storm Sniper ATX Mid TowerPSU - CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-750HX 750WMOBO - ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 AM3CPU - AMD Phenom II X6 1090T BE Thuban 3.2GHz Cooling - CoolIT Systems ECO-R120 ALCRAM - 4GB CORSAIR DOMINATOR DDR3 1600 HDD - 2X WD Caviar Black 1TB (RAID1)GPU - SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 5770 1GB |

- Good airflow, due to the three enormous fans.- Built in fan controller is good, plus offers you the alternative to turn off fan lights.- Enormous amount of space. - Not genuinely a con, but case side with fan, the connections are a pain to disconnect if you will need to take away the side and operate. Would have been good to have disconnect program constructed into the case side that connected when you slid the side in location it would make the connection. Overall incredibly pleased with this case, it is enormous for a mid size tower, but that offers you lots of room to perform with. |

Metal mesh design and style, three fans w/LEDs, fan controller, ease of drive installation internally, everything's pre-wired and ready for hook-up Packed I/O panel -4 USB, IEEE 1394, e-SATA, two audio Not seriously a CON for me, but this case is enormous! Twice the size of my old DELL. The size does permit it to accept the COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 plus with no clearance troubles. Sits under my desk simply because it doesn't fit in the side cabinet...oh nicely! Check your measurements if your unsure! This case is the actual deal. Surely worth the price. As technologies improves and everything shrinks, this case requires the opposite strategy. Cavernous.

- Lots of air moved- Built in fan controller- Lots of space- Lots of fans integrated- Concave side panels make it effortless to put unused wires- Removeable Really hard drives - There is no way of concealing cables As there is a open gap at the back from the HDD cage to the mobo. - Fairly cheaply created, Was taking off the bottom panel to install a 120mm fan, and two of the plastic hooks broke off. - Acquiring pc resets when touching the Fan controller and front panel in common. (What case does this?) (Tried two PSU each have the identical difficulty. - Mesh side disrupts the airflow. (Front fan blows, some goes out from the side, thus not producing a strong good or damaging (Depending on constructed) pressure. -Not the greatest for cable management, (No rubber garments to go into certain section of the case)- Side panel "The cage" looks just awful (This can be subjective) - Cooler Master Support - Just terrible, sent them an e mail two-3 weeks ago, and have not get any reply. General, The case is excellent as long as you don't have the defective front panel. Constructed in fan controller is "okay" but not the greatest. There is a lot of space to work with. On the other hand, the top quality of the constructed and the reality that my laptop regularly resets due to the front panel is a big damaging. (Why acquire a case that doesn't do it's job?)

Good case with loads of features. Poor QA. I've bought four of these and each a single has the same challenge: touch the front I/O panel anyplace, when the program is running and it reboots. Other individuals have reported the similar dilemma on the Cooler Master forum. |

Roomy sufficient for my huge hands and a Silver Arrow with considerably left more than. Mine has a misalignment of screwholes on the appropriate side panel creating it somewhat of a chore to take off and put on, specially the latter. Average of 3 miniutes to attach.The tool-significantly less holders for add-on cards are not rock solid secure, but that is to be intrinsically anticipated. Monstrously huge for a mid tower.I had the fan controller set to minimum, then gradually turned it larger for the initially time. After 3 seconds of twisting, it reached 40% whereupon the side panel fan LEDs blew out and burning soldering was smelt. Inspection of the fan's circuit board showed sloppy soldering and crossed wires whose insulation was melded with each other or outright missing. It's been properly more than a month and my portion request is nevertheless pending. Reminders have had no impact.Complaints: I purchased this case for it's superior airflow and capability to fit big elements. Now, to protect against the case from taking in air through all the ventilation, I have had to disable the leading fan as effectively mainly because of the defective side panel fan. This is unnaceptable. Please resolve my problem. |

Good Airflow, and coolingTooless design and style, Adore the PCI clips for Video Card, clips hold them seriously sturdy 1) Cable Management is HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, not many holes to pass the cables by means of, I/O Panel also has bunch of cables, and it is type of quick to attain or connect the 200mm fan of the side panel. Maybe since my PSU is not modular, on the other hand doesnt justify the lack of holes for cable managementtwo) Cannot match the PSU appropriately, I had to force the PSU to fit the bottom to be capable to screw them. I was even arranging to take the PSU fan grill to match the the bottom, but no, i didnt.three) Wonderful that I read tons of assessment b4 purchasing this case, like some other customer complain, I/O panel reset my laptop when you just touch it. Major design and style Flaw as this Consumer overview point out from -> Ez <- I saw the I/O panel from inside the case; The controller panel for this is not protected on the back therefor installing a drive in the top rated rail will touch the metal from the manage panel thefore shorting out the power and it will restart I will not purchase anything from Cooler Master ever Again, the price tag doesnt justify the excellent, i purchased it for 150$....I really should have bought Corsair 600t Mid Case, I evaluation and research so numerous situations for 2 months, just to get this terrible high quality case.

Large case, lots of area. Cable management dream! Case looks like a work of art. A lot of area for huge cards, my ATI 585 has like three inches of spare space, and the plugs are on the back! Also, my cooler master V-eight fits with the side fan on! Tool-less set up was nice, by no means had a case with that before. Lots of airflow, but fans are not that loud. Speaking of the fans, the built in fan control performs good and so does the led power button. Installing a card reader with the integrated bracket in the floppy drive was a tad challenging. As absolutely everyone else has stated, the indicator lights are super vibrant, and when the computer system is sleeping the energy light blinks. This case is way better than the A***c 900 everyone else appears to enjoy, i know it expenses 30-50 bucks a lot more, but it is way worth it. My old 900 kept my AMD 1090T (oc'd to four.1ghz) at about 30c idle with the fans on 2, and with this case i have the fans on almost the lowest and my temps are 32C. This case is significantly quieter than the 900 even though. Max temps are about 55C how when i crank the fans up to max compared to 60C in the 900. I enjoy this case soooooooooooooo considerably, this is the 4th develop and this is by far the greatest case i have applied (and most high priced) and I won't be going back ever.If you are searching at this case, just buy it currently! There is practically nothing about this case I have discovered lacking and found constructing in this case was a dream. |

Great case, ease of hiding wires,extremely quiet even with fans on high speed.Adore the full black interior.Quite straightforward to create inside with lots of space. Two minor problems, My energy LED is in-op,double checked to be confident the + wire is on + and the - wire is on -.And 2nd is a broken wire on the audio front panel on the leagcy connector. HDaudio was ok and is functioning wonderful. Still impressed with this case,a big improvement more than my old P160 case. Shipped fast and no shiping damage,fantastic job Newegg!!Took off 1 egg for the above two issues,other wise it is a 5 egg case. |

From the looks of it, it seemed like whatever did the screwing for the 2nd thumbscrew went as well tight and trigger the side panel fin to bend and dent, which explained why it was so freaking difficult to put back the panel when i finished my build. overall, this is a excellent case, obtain it when it's on sale.and ew @ tax for CA. =( |

-Stunning, solid style (imo)-Massive! More space than I could ever use-Exceptional airflow, it in fact lowered my room temperature-Feet are incredibly good for stabilization-Fan handle is a luxury I've never known, I like it-Handles are extremely good, tends to make difficulty shooting less difficult -Side panels are a pain to get on, and can effortlessly result in scratched paint and bent edges-Fan noise...My front and best fans each created intollerable noises. The front rumbled with a slight "owl hoot" sound. Leading fan whistled the owl hoot extremely loudly. This case would've been completely *perfect* for me if these fans didn't make whistling/hooting noises. I could've replaced them, definitely, but for 贄 I anticipate a excellent product on day 1.Newegg accepted my return for a refund with totally free return shipping, really nice of them. I would've offered 4 stars if they charged me return shipping, good operate newegg! |

Wonderful case, created building my own computer system a breeze with a professional hunting wiring job that is hidden behind the motherboard mounting frame permitted due to the "bubbled" side of the case. None that would stop me from buying another one particular. The unused front drive grill bezels/cover plates could be a bit more resistent to being pushed in. |
Have been to begin....-all black, even the included hardware-cable management-fan dial and led on/off switch-solid construction-intergrated handles-plunty of space for the 12 inch cards-vercilitility-appears attractive-dust filters every exactly where. even the bay doors-fans are so fairly at low-did i mention it appears attractive? -i was not crazy about the snaps to hold my hd 6950 gpu in spot. that is a heavy card and it did not feel secured with just the interegrated snaps to hold it in place. I have had a raidmax, antec 900, and an antec 900 two..i was a massive antec fan bc the circumstances so solid, but they have nothing on this case. I only had my antec 900 2 for 8 months when i poped for the storm sniper. I got sick of haveing to grab the antec by the bottom to move it, all air flow was great it was incredibly loud and the fan adjustments were not convenient. So I wanted this case for interegrated handles, massive fan adjustment knob and the led on/off lights. I am so delighted.
