Pros: Quality, Cooling, Room, HDD Cages, Ease of use

Cons: PSU does not line up well. Push/Pull would be nice for top rad support.

This is the best case I have ever worked with, there is plenty of room for fans and other upgrades, the cable management is very well thought out. I love the powder coating and the quality is top-notch. I also put a H100 in it and it houses it very nicely. Compared to the Thermaltake M9 I was using this thing is like a Bentley of case. The LED and fan controller on the front I/O panel is really nice, and it even came with an adapter to use USB 2.0 headers on your motherboard(I have an ASUS M3N-HT) if you dont have USB 3.0. The big 230mm fan on the side really helped with my temps for my EVGA 9800GT in SLI. The only problem I had with installing my hardware was getting my PSU to line up.
