Cons: doesn't look AS cool as in product shots
Pros: Well Made, looks cool Comment:
awesome case. front ports are nice, but they could be either on the top or bottom of the case, not the middle. Lots of fan mounts, lots of space. |

Overall, a great case. This is my first computer build, but I have looked at other computer cases for custom-built rigs. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to save money. Value: For the given price, I could not find a better case. With the saying "you get what you pay for", I was afraid of receiving a low-quality product. There is ample room for someone who isn't finicky, and seeing as this is my first build, I loved it. Aesthetics:The outer design is what gives the final touches. It gives more character to your build and brings it to life. That being said, not only do you get quality (note: for the price), but a great look. Other low-price cases seem to have a general, plain look, but not this. Cable management and side-panel:As someone mentioned in another review, there isn't a lot of room behind the motherboard try. However, if you do plan ahead and take time to route the cables, the amount of space can be enough. With a bit of pushing and tucking into the right side of the HDD mount, you'll have a tidy build with good airflow. Take the side-panel comment with a grain of salt. Again, this is my first build, so I don't know how other computer cases are. I had a bit of trouble tucking the cables and, and so the right-side panel seemed a bit flimsy and wobbled when I tried to force it back on. Fan-mount: Problem with the top mounts: not enough height between motherboard and vent. There are two vents on the top. Although the box and website say that there's only room for one, I don't see the point of having the extra vent. I'll be covering it up because I'm afraid of things falling in there, especially liquid (although holding a glass of water or something over a computer case isn't recommended in the first place). Continuing: There's only room for one because the cpu cooler gets in the way. As for the other vent, it took a lot of trouble to mount a fan there. The cpu fan-slot on the motherboard gets in the way. The front mount: It was also a hassle to mount the fan there. After scraping your hand a few times, and trying to find a way to stick your hand and screwdriver into the space, you'll get it. Bottom mount: I still have to try this, but it seems like there won't be enough space given the number of cables that are in the way, but someone will have to confirm this. Again, overall, fantastic value. I don't regret buying it, but, if you're patient enough, you can get a better case on sale.
