Cons: Complex installation and missing mounting holes for waterpump.No tools clips on PCI/accessory slots only "sort of" work.(anything under tension forces the clips open)Weighs 45lbs without anything in it!
Pros: Liquid cooling efficiency.Great looking case.Loads of peripheral space.Very reasonable price. Comment:
This case is in almost all respects awesome. It looks good and works generally quite well. The watercooling is great with my E6400 running t 32C under full load, rising to 35C when OC'd to E6700 spec. Some of the gripes however include:The instructions include 1" pictures of the surrounding area so good luck finding where they are referring to. The sequence of installation is confusing and not correct.The waterpump has 4 mounting points that will not align to the predrilled holes. Only 2 points ended up aligning.The radiator come with 12 optional screws (for shipping purposes according to the manual) however removing them causes the radiator to fall down, so the optional part is not really optional.This build took me over 4.5 hours compared to a typical |

Cons: Doesn't accomodate well for large power suppliesReservoir connection to barb weak
Pros: Huge case, lots of room Comment:
Absolutely love the size of this case, but when putting the cooling system together, during the tightening of the barb nut, the barb actually came out of the reservoir, and wouldn't screw back in.Also, some problems putting in a Silverstone 1000W power supply. Was unable to attach the extra support rod. |

Cons: Pump broke down in 10 days and I had to replace it with a swiftech pump.
Pros: Great looking case, very good watercooling solution when it worked Comment:
The durability of the pump is questionable when it only lasts 10 days. I can't complain about the actual case though since It is a really nice looking case and you can add that side window with the 25cm fan built in which is really nice. |

Cons: retension clips are flimsy and installing hard drives behind the radiator can be a pain
Pros: great cooling, lots of expansion bays Comment:
only had it a few days and im in love with it already, installed fairly easily although the hard drives gave me a little bit of a hassle, the cooling worked wonders, my oc'd 4200 x2 never goes past 25 degrees (celsius) i had one hiccup in the system but that was due to a power supply error fixed easily. besides the slight difficulty in the drive bays and the retension clips it works great, simple enough to remove the clips and just use screws |

Cons: Heavy, well cause its big.
Pros: it's big, all fits in no problem, very beautiful, awsome LCS, quite and cool inside. Comment:
Ok here's my review. Big beauty, heavy as well, very silent product of the Liquid Cooling System , nice quick conection system with the hose and barbs, only thing i didn't like much was the easy snap on for the cards, it was flimsy and not all my cards let it work well, i just took it out and used screws.FYI. I instaled two 8800GTS's into my rig so i had to move the pump a bit. To fix the space problem, cause on one side of the pump i had the GPU and on the other the Barbs of the Radiator, so i just fliped the Radiator upside down giveing me some more space. If you have a GTX it might be even tighter.I give this 6 monkeys out of 5, :) |

Cons: Pci slot covers dont come out easily. Mounting holes for the water pump are not in the greatest spots if you have a big video card.
Pros: Sexy, quiet, sturdy, keeps everything cool. Comment:
Case was shipped in excellent condition. Waterblock fits the new Intel Core Duo 2. Comes with a little thing of thermal paste. Instructions easy to follow, took me an hour to set it all up (being careful for no leaks or spills). Great case, if your lookin for a quiet and cool case this is it. |
this case is great. looks good very roomie! the only downfall is if i put the water pump inside the case at the bottom, the 2 other VD slots are blocked.. but other then that the rad is nicely tucked away. oh oh very easy to install everything :D!!
