Cons: cable management not the greatest, install manual kind of lacking
Pros: compact, top mounted utility ports, lots of ventilation options, stealthy appearance, 2 fan control knobs, bonus handle Comment:
Great little case. Comes with all of the screws necessary for mounting fans. 3.5" HDs slide in on rails so no screws needed. Another good thing is placement of USB/audio utility ports on the top front. Very easy accessibility. Side panel slides off with little effort. All black finish looks great. Also to get the front orange LED to work you need to connect it to the switch at the back. But the manual does not mention this anywhere until you figure it out. Overall it's solid case yet very light weight. |

Cons: Cable Management
Pros: Lots of Space Comment:
I would recommend this case for any mATX mother board PC. It's a heavy duty, good looking case with lots of space that can fit pretty much anything. The LED's are really cool, and I like how the fan control also turns up the LED's when you increase the fan speed. The only thing that I would find as a con is it lacks the possibility to do proper cable management since it's a mATX case. I would recommend a modular PSU to fix that problem. Other than that, great case! Definitely worth the cash! |

Cons:
2fan controller(1 broken :()onlyPSU intake & front intake come with fan filter, pointless when the side panel come with hundreds-of-big-holes.
Pros: nice looking portable mini,but its kind larger than my mid tower in some waycome with 2fan controller,1 light switchsturdy handle(might look weak, but its sure to handle the weight np) Comment:
as a mini, only 2 cm shorter than my mid tower before installing handle. much taller after handle installed.side panel makes it as fat as a mid tower.(which is good thing for hiding wire and install full size CPU heatsink)the first fan speed controller is broken, making electric z~z~Z~ noise on low and it doesnt change the amount of speed as second controller.(not sure if i can get it fixed)i like this case except i get no choice of a solid "no-hole" side panel to avoid dust. |

Cons:
doesnt fit many air coolers
Pros: Smart car corvette Comment:
This case is like.... you cant describe it with words. My MATX vulcan case is like a smart car corvette. I have a 4ghz i5, 2 gtx 460 in sli, h70 watercooling, 8 gb g skil ram, 750w ocz fatality psu... This case is crazy. Dont bother going air cooling, buy an h70. |

Cons:
Not much room for cable managementStated 200mm fan opening does not conform to 200mm standards
Pros: Has a handleSmall case for lan parties Comment:
Bought this cause a friend wanted a small portable computer for his girlfriend. Yeah this thing is small alright. Corsair tx650 powersupply takes up most of the empty space with cables. Not much room to manage cables and doesn't come with a should be standard rear exhaust. Bought a coolermaster Megaflow 200mm fan for the side panel..Doesn't line up with the provided holes.Not even close.Maybe I got a dud. No review sites even tried the side mounted 200mm fan. Giving this a 2 star rating because of this. I had to twist tie on the fan. It works, but it's not something an owner should have to do. |

Cons:
- Need to add additional 120mm, 92mm and 200mm fans on your own for best cooling.
Pros: - Budget priced but not budget quality.- Can handle full-sized GPUs in SLI.- Can accomodate even the longest PSUs.- Excellent cooling capacity.- Not a cube. Comment:
I purchased this for a new X58/i7 950 setup that I built to replace my aging full ATX/Q6600 tower. I was amazed and pleased to find an mATX tower that could carry all the gear I needed. I have this case loaded to the hilt with 4 3.5" HDDs, 2 optical drives, 2 GTX 260s and a full-sized PSU. Cable management can be a little tricky as you hardly need the length that everything comes in, but in the end it's well worth it to have this compact powerhouse on the table.As a sidenote, be aware that installing a 200mm fan will restrict the maximum height of your cpu cooler, I went with a Cool-It liquid cooler so it wasn't an issue. |

Cons:
Bit Larger than I imaginedNo USB3
Pros: Overall Great Case/Value Comment:
This is a great case.This case only has two little quarks I came across.1.) Installing the top fan after installing the motherboard required to take the top off of the case. This was tricky.2.) There is no air filter on the top and side mesh. |

Cons:
Rear fan only supports 92/80mm, motherboard fit is tight, instructions for fan and power LED MIA
Pros: Tons of airflow, ample space behind motherboard, sideways mounted drive cage, room for long video cards, black interior, huge motherboard cutout for aftermarket CPU coolers Comment:
Loved the look when I saw the first reviews come out and all of the extra fans that this could support. Tons of features that are normally only available in larger cases (top fan, motherboard cutout, black interior, side mounted drive cage). Installation however turned up one snag - the motherboard (Asus P5K-VM) mounting is right up against the top fans. There is less than 1/16" space once installed - and the motherboard that I was using had the socket positioned up in that area - so much so that when I installed the CPU cooler (Zalman 9500) - the cooler's fins prevented the top fan from spinning. Had to switch the CPU cooler - which the motherboard cutout should have allowed me to do easily - but the socket was so high that the top of the backplate was hidden by the motherboard tray. Plan ahead - eventually used a OCZ Gladiator that allowed the top fan room to spin (but because of the tight room couldn't attached the last mount for the fan on the CPU cooler). Everything else mounted cleanly and easily - and hiding the extra cables was a snap with all of the space behind the motherboard tray. Moved the front fan to the top - 2x120mm blowing out, added a 120mm LED fan to the front, and a 92mm fan to the rear. Runs cool. |

Cons:
-Not a thing
Pros: -Stylish, all Black-Very solid construction-Great ventilation with included fans Comment:
Received mine the other days shortly after ordering. Only my power supply remains to be shipped due to some kind of delay, lucky my old one is still working. The old psu is the loused thing in the case even when i crank up the 120mm fans. the design might not be for everyone but i LOVE it. |
I picked the box up from the post office and was amazed at how small it was. Opened it up and started building. First thing that I noticed was the fan controller and lighting system in the case (top fan has lights and the front panel has a nice light strip) was a bit of a pain to work around. I like my cables to be extremely neat and organized, hidden when possible. If the case didn't have the pushout section of the side panels, the wires would not have fit behind the board.The all-black interior looks amazing and there is lots of room for a full/oversized video card. The fans move a lot of air (as most 120mm do) and the fan controller lets you set them to the desired level with rotary knobs on the front. The case is light weight and the added handle makes it peanuts to move around.I would definitely but this case again, but would go with a fully modular PSU and potentially do custom cables to minimize the amount of clutter behind the mobo tray.
