Useful and Fun Case

Pros:
Highly, highly modular. Almost everything on this case comes off, and you can put the pieces almost anywhere. Also, if you''ve got a solely fan-cooled system like I currently do, the thing''s so full of holes (in a good way!) that you barely have to worry about air flow. And if you''re a liquid-cooled sort of person, it looks like you''ll have no trouble at all integrating your system. I''m keeping my system at some nice temps, even under load and with the stock fans.
Cons:
Although the frame itself seems sturdy enough, everything else on it is kind of a weak-feeling plastic which can start rattling on occasion even if you screw everything on tightly. Not really a problem as long as you don''t plan on beating on the thing with a vengence, and don''t mind the noise. Also, I thought it was a full tower when I purchased it (and honestly, my research afterwards still hasn''t cleared that up...), but it seems a bit smaller than I had hoped. Of course, the awesome modularity doesn''t make that too much of a problem. :) Just make sure you measure things like your gfx card and mo-bo, and if you have a lot of HDDs or ODDs, think about where you''ll have to put them to avoid conflicts. For example, owners of an ASUS Crosshair IV Extreme like myself should know that one of the Molex ports on the board faces straight down when installed, and trying to plug in the connector while considering where the power supply sits (directly below) is tricky, although not impossible.
Other Thoughts:
For a while, I had sworn off cases as they were just too difficult to work with when you have to get into them often. However, I''ve got a lot of nice parts this build around, as well as a leaking/collapsing ceiling and small children around, so I wasn''t exactly comfortable with just leaving everything out in the open. I''m definitely glad I got this case, as it''s just so versatile that I can get everything in and out quickly, and have a bit of fun as well. Plus, look at those colors! Hoping when I have a bit of extra cash I can replace the blue LEDs in the stock fans with some yellow/amber ones, just so it can look twice as cool. :)
