5 out of 5 eggsgood case for the price

Pros: Bought this case cause i needed better cooling and a cause that'll fit everything like an h80, four sp120 fans,an mini atx and a gtx 660 ti and this dose the job.

Very good cable management if you have a power supply with long cables and long sata cables
then you can route the wires to the back to inprove air flow.

Cons: One of the stand of screws stripped.

Mounting my h80 with push pull was an hassle cause at first i couldn't put the pump on the cpu until i adjusted the tubing after mounting the everything with the h80 the next problem was the side fans on the case. The case has more vent holes so you can mount them different from where the mounting holes are located.

Other Thoughts: The fans that are includes i didn't even bother using them cause i'm using 4 sp120 fans and the h80 with stock fans but the fans thats included in the case look and feel like some real cheaply made plastic.

4 out of 5 eggsGood Case

Pros: - Great Case
- It's easy to install your components
- Comes with pretty good fans
- Looks nice with blue LED fan

Cons: - When I received the case it had many scratches along the side.
- Plastic quality isn't the best
- Instructions manual isn't very clear

Other Thoughts: Great case, but I removed an "egg" due to the quality of the plastic and how easily it scratches.

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent Case

Pros: HDD space/access is great. M/B installation was a breeze. The case fans are not loud. Airflow seems good. Interior spacing overall is very good. There is limited room to run cables behind the motherboard (by removing the *other* side panel). It's not enough space to run all of the cables that I wanted, but I was able to place the heafty/think power lines and a fan line through there, which did make a different in space to work with inside the main case compartment.

Cons: running cables power/sata from the external 5" and the upper 3.5" bays can be a little tricky. I was careless when I installed the first one. By the second one, I saw that I was going to have an issue. It took a whopping 1 minute to figure out how to run the wires so as NOT to occupy an open storage bay. But just be sure to plan ahead for this when you plug in your first device. This is not even worth one star, and 1min of problem solving is a laughably minor to anyone who's every put together a rig. ;-)

***the PSU came from a local electronics store and I forgot the model (antec is the make, iirc). It's a 650w. not modular. pretty generic***

5 out of 5 eggsGreat for the price

Pros: Plenty of space inside, comes with decent fans, and looks really sexy. This case is a great value. Really easy to clean too. With a couple couple bursts of compressed air and this thing looks like new again. I barely used the cable management because I'm too lazy but it's not the worst I've seen.

Cons: The plastic (basically anything exterior that's shiny in the picture) looks and feels cheap when you're close enough. It doesn't look bad though because it's styled but I can definitely see some people snap or scratch it.
The biggest problem with this was that the front microphone port broke the first time I used it. As I plugged something in the computer detected it but then said that it was unplugged and now it feels very loose and nothing works on it. All the other ports work fine though, but I am gonna go ahead and be careful with the front headphone jack.
Finally, make sure you take measurements of whatever you're planning on installing and give it some room for error. I installed a water cooler and it barely fit. It's so close that we might have bent the plate slightly when closing it.

Other Thoughts: It comes with fans, has a bottom mounted psu space, and has a esata port in the front.

5 out of 5 eggsI highly recommend this case

Pros: This case is very spacious, everything fit in easily. It also comes with 3 fans which is very nice and they're pretty quiet. I appreciated the cable management options available, I was able to make the inside of my case look fairly organized. I have a tendency to not want to shell out big bucks for a case, so in this price range I was definitely satisfied. I also like the location of the power switch and front ports. This is an all around excellent case especially when you consider the low price.

Cons: 1) I found the motherboard standoffs difficult to get in straight.
2) The case ended up just an inch too tall to fit nicely under my desk, I probably should have measured first, but now I just wish I could remove those feet easily to make it fit.

Other Thoughts: This is definitely a great case for this price, I honestly don't know what the benefits are of those much pricier cases. This is perfect for my needs, plus it feels sturdy and looks great.

4 out of 5 eggsGood case

Pros: -Lightweight
-Plenty of space
-PSU mounted at bottom
-Does not look too stupid
-Price
-Comes with 3 fans
-Not too big

Cons: -Not toolless

Other Thoughts: I built a computer for my older brother in this case. He is quite limited in space so we had to be careful choosing a case, especially for the height of the case. Turns out this case fits just well on his desk.

It looks rather good, but the blue LED fan can be annoying for some people. It is also very lightweight. Overall it is a very good case for 50$.

2 out of 5 eggsSo So

Pros: Easy to add everything, Fans are quiet.

Cons: Case had small dents not from shipping. Missing the PSU filter that shows in the manual and also it discusses about keeping it clean. I called customer support and they told me the filter is not part of the case. It clearly shows it is in the manual.

Other Thoughts: I will probably look elsewhere for my next new products..

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Case

Pros: Comes with 3 fans. The blue LED's look cool. Its very well ventilated, you look through the mesh in the front and you can see all the way to the back fan and out. Tool-less hard drive bays are nice.

Cons: Will be hard to but a 3rd party cpu cooler in it.. but you might not need it since this case keeps things pretty cool.
Was not free.

Other Thoughts: When I bought this they had a deal that you could get an additional blue led 120mm fan for 5 dollars so i scooped that up as well. installed easy also has a fan controller for the speeds of that one fan. Was rather impressed. Very happy with every purchase.
