It's a nice HAF alternative, though more expensive for the sake of being a little more transport-friendly than the HAF (which isn't really much because it's still a huge case). But the retractable feet are ugly. The ones on the HAF were already pretty solid and attractive. Otherwise it looks very functional and I like the case design. I never liked the bland and boring designs of older Cooler Master cases, especially those hideous side panels with holes punched out.
 Eww... Antec design + CM chassis + Lian Li build quality = win

I sure like some of the features of the case, but the overall look? No thank you.

First, this thing is better than the HAF 932 *same size*. THEN, this thing doesn't look crappy, or even ugly. Anyway, looks better than almost every comp. case on the market, (they almost all look like piece of ****, or WANNABE badass, no ?), in my opinion...?

I like the casae design. Pretty attractive to me. I can't decide between this or the Antec 1200.

One thing that was noted in the bit tech review is that the fan controller (that controls the 2, 200mm fans) while a great idea is very flawed. It has two additional headers for two more fans to be controlled but for some reason, CM used 2 pin connectors. that means any other fan be it 4 pin molex or 3 pin cannot be connected without splicing and modding the wiring. Even the rear 120mm fan provided cannot be connected.
also, the door frame has screw holes to mount a side fan but the positioning of it prevents the use of tower coolers.
