All in all great cooler for the money and has always worked reliably. Excellent for a backup cooling system or for low-cost budget computers, while still being able to overclock.

I just bought the Corsair 300R... good case for the money. Not a ton of bells and whistles but I think it is near the best for the price range.

I own a HAF 912 and it's a nice case.

Cable management is easy, the tool less 3.5 bays are nice and a good chunk of the HDD change is removable, allowing you to fit extra long cards (my 7970 required it).

The stock cooling isn't great and doesn't have USB 3.0 on the front panel.

For $60 I think it's a good case, but if I were to go back and do it again, I'd spend $50 more and get a better case.

YMMV.
