Cooler Master Gladiator 600 RC-600-KKN1-GP Black SECC Body ; Mesh Front bezel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Compared to the no name case this replaced, this is quite a step up. It was between this case and the coolermaster centurion 590. I went with this one, and I dont regret it. This one seems a little nicer looking: with the shiny bezel around the power button and front usb, and doesn't seem to have the same poor paint job people complain about on the 590. It accomodates big video cards and keeps temps down with all the extra fans and the bottom mounted power supply.

Cons: Like with any case with a bottom mount power supply, make sure cables will reach. Unlike the 590, does not have holes for a later upgrade to water cooling. Doesn't have a side window, which is a big deal to some, but IMO I would rather have the 2x140mm fans..

Overall Review: I had to find a case that would fit in a compact desk compartment, that supported a large video card (9600GT) and had quite a bit of cooling capacity. This and the very silghtly larger (by a couple inches) centurion 590 were the best cost effective solutions I found to fit such a compact space.

Pros: Very nice looking case. The way the drives install is a plus and makes it a lot quicker and simpler than it used to be, also putting them in sideways means more space in the case. PSU position on the bottom makes PSU installation much easier and quicker, not that it's difficult with a top mounted PSU. Nice big fan on top to vent out the heat.

Cons: Front case fan vibrates a little and causes the snap on front to vibrate with the most annoying noises ever. I have to keep pushing on it to move how it's snapped on slightly to get the noise to go away for a little while but the noise always returns.

Overall Review: None
