 Great Case but NOT perfect!
Reviewer: ChrisB (1)
Let''s get the biggest con out of the way. The 3.5" hard drive removable cage is complete garbage. Other reviews on other sites have stated this also and you really need to be aware. I read those reviews and was aware that screws were on both sides but I still had to use a hammer and go around all four corners very hard. It did come through the front. I don''t know if some cases very or if they have remedied this problem but I know it is an issue.
The other point is the case is very quiet because the fans are extremely weak. My temps are about 9F higher in this case. Partially because of the location of the radiator being at the top which has to be used as exhaust. The large fan is very weak too. With this case being 2-3 inches deeper and taller than my Thermaltake Armor case it needs even more fan power to generate the same air flow. Not to mention the mesh on the tops and bottom, and front (where there aren''t any fans) does not create a good seal. I guess they really wanted a quiet case and compromised on the usefulness of the fans.
Aside from those two things the case is really what I was going for. I can live with the slightly higher temps because I have all of my water cooling components (655 pump, dual radiator, DD dual bay reservoir) mounted inside the case with very reasonable temps. The case also has a modern look but is very sleek too. It''s not like those crazy alien cases that everyone had out forever. I do recommend this case if you are aware of the removable hard drive possibly giving you problems and the lack of air flow. The power touch sensor I really do like and is very sensitive. The top ports are equipped with a plastic sliding cover that you must slide on the left side or you may touch the sensor and depending on power settings could shutdown your computer. Vista will at least ask you if you really want to shutdown or not. I like the cover because it hides the connections and it adds to the looks of the case. The handles are a plus actually slide nicely on carpet and are nice to grab onto. The front bay covers are designed very well with metal flaps that are held close by a magnet and then actual covers are easily removed with one hand if you like.
 Great Case

I bought one of these cases about a week ago, and it is really great. It is very big on the inside and will hold just about anything you want. There are 5 pci slots for extensions and an excessive amount of 5.25" bays. Airflow is decent with stock fans. All the fans are really quiet and I can barely hear anything when the pc is on. The tool less design for the 5.25" bays are really easy to use, no problems there. Only con is that the 3.5" hd bays aren''t tool less and require screws. So far no problems at all. Overall it is an awesome case and I am very pleased with it.
