Pros: very solid,has front audio HD intel connector and ac97 audio your choice.looks great.has good room.also has 2 3.5 external drive bays. Cons: ups damaged case.back corner got a little bent but got it straightned out. I have bought this case many times from neweeg and never had this shipping problem with fedex. from Newegg.com Pros: n1ce looking with excellent airflow. I moved my system from a very small micro atx case to this. motherboard and graphics card temps dropped by 6c, cpu dropped by 4c. from Newegg.com Pros: Very sleek and professional looking case. I bought one of these from a local retailer about two months ago because my old case, which was a micro ATX case, couldn't fit a new power supply I bought at the same time, so I got this one because of the vents on the front. from Newegg.com Pros: I placed a 120mm fan in the front of the case and 2 80's for exhaust in the rear. Runs cool. from Newegg.com Pros: Well rounded case all around. Case is more than sturdy enough to even sit on...screwless drive bays make for quick and easy installation, fits a normal ATX power supply, non-ostentatious front panel, easy to install a micro ATX board. from Newegg.com I wouldn't have been able to install a PCI card the way I had to cable it. I bought another PS with longer cables later, and it's OK now. Other Thoughts: Not a con, since it's a smaller case. Just not a lot of room, so cabling can be cramped. from Newegg.com Pros: sturdy. easy to figure out.dont really need a bunch of tools to put everything in, but you will need some Cons: fans are a bit louder than expected Other Thoughts: GREAT case for the price from Newegg.com Pros: Very nice cases. Small but very solid. from Newegg.com Pros: * Looks good * Nice design * Space for 120mm front fan * Small * Holds 2 of each drive size (optical, floppy, hard drive) * "upside down" case makes sense * Drive mounting is all tool-less (which is good and bad) Cons: * Loud -- ampifies optical and hard drive noise * Sheet steel is pretty wimpy * Hard drives don't receive any active cooling * Would prefer to be able to use screws to mount drives in order to reduce vibration Other Thoughts: Don't get me wrong -- this is a nice case -- but it could benefit from heavier gage sheet metal, which would really help to quiet the case down. As it is, it's a bit expensive considering it doesn't come with a power supply or fans. from Newegg.com Pros: Inverted setup works perfectly w/ my mobo, cheap classy looking case Cons: No direct airflow over Hard drive cage, front mesh cover just pops on and off (no latches) might be prone to wearing out and becoming loose, front buttons look nice but might be a bit cheesy too Other Thoughts: Very happy with this case, You might want to look for a mobo that has its main power connector placed so it will not be near the hard drive cage. If it is you might have a tight fit. from Newegg.com
