Cons: Cable management is non-existent. Cut outs on mid plate are absurdly large. Top fan cut out is spaced to close to the rear of case. This will not allow the mounting of a standard sized radiator.
Pros: Very high quality and nice looking case. Lots of room inside. Can fit two PSUs in it. Water cooling freindly. |

Cons: the 3.5` guard flap on the front doesn`t like staying closed (minor weakness), noisy fans, heavy
Pros: Very solid, lots of bays, lots of room, stylish, easy to open Comment:
I`ve had this case for a year and a half now, and am very happy with it. There`s good airflow, lots of space, it`s easy to open up. Installing hard drives or 5.25`` drives is very easy. The fans are a bit noisy, but if you care that much, you can order a bunch of noctua fans. There is enough space to mount a Thermalright Ultra-120 extreme. Overall a case I`m very happy with, I`d recommend it. It`s a very large, solid case, and therefore heavy and bulky to move around to LAN parties. But I`m a big guy and it`s not an issue for me. |

Cons: Could use cutouts in the motherboard tray for easier cable routing
Pros: Beauty!. Quite decent stock fans (comes with 2x120mm top, 2x92mm back and 2x 120mm in two drive cages at the bottom), beautiful finish Comment:
Using this case for watercooling and its got all the room I want and more. I've had to cut a hole into the motherboard tray to route the sata cables and the 24pin ATX cable so it would've been nice if it came with that. But it does have 3 holes cutout at the top/bottom divider for power supply routing and tubing. |

Cons: -no drive bay rails-fans lack PWM
Pros: -quality-size-engineering-build quality-most, if not everything, can be removed/detached Comment:
This has been the best case I have owned so far. I have upgraded from a black Thermaltake Tsunami with window so perhaps 'best so far' doesn't mean that much, but this is an amazing case and I don't see the need to change this case any time soon. One should note that although this is a great case and just about everything can be unassembled, the assembly itself takes a bit longer if you want everything perfect. Also, if you have a large HSF, tuniq tower in my situation, then if you decide to assemble everything outside the case and try to slide the mobo tray in, it will not fit properly; you either have to install the HSF after the mobo tray is in the case or you can unscrew the vertical support bracket which is causing the obstruction and slide your assembled components, HSF as well, into the case and re-screw the support bracket back into place.I was torn b/w this, the V2000B, V2010B and, if it were to exist, the V2000Z. this is an amazing case despite its minor flaws. |

Cons: Very LOUD 92mm Fans!Price
Pros: CoolingModing OptionsLooksAll Aluminum constructionSeperate compartment for Water Cooling, power suppy and hard drivesVery good 120mm Fans incuded (outstanding air flow and low noise)Removable Hard Drive tray Comment:
wow this thing comes in a huge box!! The price left my pockets empty but my PC area now has what I would call the best case I have ever seen. This case may not seem like much untill you have it on your work table and your placing your hardware inside. There are so many options for this case. Almost everything comes appart by screws unlike other cases where almost everything is riveted or welded together. The exterior has a black brushed aluminum look it does not show up in the photos and looks just awsome!! Inside is not quite what i would call a mirror polish finnish to the aluminum but it is shinny. I stuffed a HW Labs Black Ice GT Xtreme 480 and 4 120mm case fans that came with the case, just awsome, it all fit in the bottom of the case. This is just awsome for a water cooling set up. The lower section can be used to build your own internal water cooling system.The only 2 down sides to the case are the price of course but I also found the included 92mm fans to be just crap! They push a tone of air but are realy loud, way to loud! That will be the first and only thing I replace on this case. |

Cons: Thumb Screw are a little bit tight sometimesCould of come casters to allow it to be raised higher of the floor.
Pros: Great Build qualitySpaceDesign layoutLooksQuality of workmanshipNice harddrive Bays Comment:
A case with loads of space for modding and adding a water cooling system too. I have not installed anything yet as waiting for parts. But working with this is a breeze it strips right down to bare bones, virtually no rivets, all thumb screws. In my opinion they should have used washers at each thumbscrew to aid in loosening and tightening.It would of been nice to have casters to get it of the ground a bit more. |

Cons: Side panels don't mount tight to the case in the top front corners, but easily fixed with a small piece of foam tapeWould be nicer if the vents were honeycombed instead of round holesNo other disadvantages that I can think of
Pros: Large seperate area in bottom for PSU and HDD cagesTons of room for whatever you want to put in the caseRock solid constructionTool-less accessLots of areas to route wiresAmple ventilation, making the lack of a front intake negligibleSimple, attractive designExpanding to water cooling is dead easy, with room for a triple (or maybe even quad, but I only have a triple to test with) 120mm radiator in the bottom of the case as well as room for the pump.Easy to make silent if you desireGreat if you want to mod, as virtually everything comes apart with screws instead of rivets Comment:
I got this case because I wanted lots of room to do water cooling without having anything external, and let me tell you, there is so much room in this case it's not even funny. Routing all the wires was a snap with the various holes and slots available, although you may need wire extensions for some of the fans if you plan to use a fan bus to control them, as it's quite a distance from front to back. The thick, solid aluminum frame construction definitely gives the case a feeling of quality and the reassurance that nobody in their right mind would try to walk off with your computer, since it weighs in at just under 13kg/30lbs before you even put your components in. I quite like the unpretentious, simple, attractive design of the case, and despite it's large size it fits well under and matches with my desk, which has a black metal frame. Worth every penny of the price tag, especially if you're looking for a case with room for expansion. |

Cons: - Pricey and very heavy
Pros: - BIG and very spacious- Excellent build quality and look- Cooling is exceptional Comment:
Overall its a very nice case. It can fit anything you want to put in there. The cooling and airflow are great, lots of room if you decide to go water-cooling. It looks wonderful, it's definately very well made.Only thing negative i'd say is the price. Not sure if I would spend $300 on another case, but if cost wasn't a factor I don't think there is a better case out there. Its also very heavy so don't expect to move it around very much. |

Cons: front usb ports upside down, check standoffs before using them, i mistakenly used the one that was included that was the wrong size
Pros: well made, perfect size, great airflow Comment:
All in all this is a great case, solid construction, lots of room for everything and it is the perfect color. Unfortunatly they included one mobo standoff that was slightly larger and i ended up cracking my mobo. if your looking for a large case, i would reccomend this one, but i also suggest to inspect all parts before putting things together |

Cons: Some power supplies might have trouble reaching the atx connector due to bottom mounting positionSide panels are a little difficult to get into position
Pros: Really spaciousAmazing construction, pictures do not do it any justiceHigh quality fans that are included Comment:
Since owning this case for about two weeks now, as I haven't had a chance to build my whole rig yet I've had time to take things apart and play around with the wiring. Even though this case is aluminum it is very rigid (think 2mm SECC type of rigidity), and it gives it that real solid "quality" feel. Having the hdd's in a separate area allows their heat and the heat from the PSU to be vented out of the main system without drawing any additional heat. Some people might complain of the unconventional airflow where there is no front intake, however it is unnecessary as the thermal areas are separated.I intend to be running two cards in SLI and found the scythe front panel to be adequate in adding airflow to the system. All in all switching from a CM stacker to this case has been an excellent experience and although it is slightly smaller than the stacker it is a roomy case capable of fitting EATX sized boards. |
This a high quality case that looks great. Unfortunetly, looks dont always cut it in my books.After reading good things about it in the water cooling world, I decided to use one for a current X79 3960X client build, with extensive custom water cooling. The plan was to mount a 120.3 radiator in the bottom to cool a pair og GTX580 video cards, and a 120.2 radiator up top to cool the CPU. The factory cut-out up top for fans is positioned to close to the rear of the case to allow a standard sized radiator to be mounted without modding.Also, the factory cut-outs in the mid-plate are huge and again, is going to required modding. And a final note, cable management is non-existent in this case. I had to cut a slot in the mid-plate behind the motherboard tray to allow wiring to be concealed. On top of that, there is nothing to secure wiring on the back side of motherboard tray.
