Ok guys. I just want to give you guys a heads up..
If you buy this case. Make SURE that you don't keep the powersupply in it. Why? you ask. Well.. Friday I walk into the house and find my RMA Motherboard replacement sitting on the table. So I rush to get to my dads house (where the comp is at), and put it in. Well, everything works fine, I slip the board in with ease and turn on the computer... I notice that its a LITTLE bit TOO quiet. So i look into the case and everything looks fine.. 10 seconds later "Whats that burning smell???" Well. My powersupply is so unreliable, I have to switch rails because my heatsinks fan wasn't recieving juice. So that burning smell, was my cpu. Luckily I turned it off in time to save the processor. So, I told my dad what happened, and we ordered the OCZ ModStream 450W power supply and some side fans to match the blue led.... So. If you would like to save ur cpu. Buy another powersupply IMMEADETLY.
