Pros: Awesome airflow, reasonably spacious, Hot Swap SSD bay

Cons: cable management, power supply mounting

This is actually a decent case, especially for a low to mid range out of the box. Also a great house for a high end rig with a little modding. I chose this for the airflow and color scheme really. I knew cable management would be a pain, but I took a jigsaw and dremel tool to it till it screamed for mercy and low and behold, cable management. I made custom grommets for the cables to pass thru. All in all, for the price I paid, I didn't mind putting in an hour or two for modding. It turned out really well and I would recommend it stock to anyone looking for a house for a low to mid range build. However, for a high end overclocking set up with very large video cards and cooling needs, your...

"meh" kind of case

Pros: Looks cool

Cons: NO room for cable management, tight inside

Appearance is nice but thats really the only compliment about the case I can give. There is NO cable management ANYWHERE. I got this and a non-modular psu and it is a nightmare trying to get half decent wire job done, and all the excess cables are a jungle sitting at the bottom blocking airflow. Fans provide ok airflow and the filters do their job, but if your looking for a case in this price range I'd recommend something else such as Corsair 400r which at least has some cable routing holes to hide the wires.

Pros: Good stock fans /w speed controllers, nice front dust filters, top 2.5" hot swap bay.

Cons: Stupid hinged covers on the front 5.25" bays, Cheap plastic-ish feeling and bad cable management.

When i bought that case, the first thing i taught was sigh, i need a full-tower case. The case size is a personal preference, however when you actually use the case you realize that actually its quite small, the cable management sucks and reinstalling hardware is headache. The airflow really depends on your CPU cooler and Graphics size, in my case, my Noctua D14 and HD6870 dont get good air there. Once you managed to install your components and let the PC run a month, you see that the stock fans are not bad at all, and the fan filters actually work, without compromising much airflow, however i find the 5.25" covers really annoying, while most of us don't use DVD drives much, anyone who...
