- Great Case, for the Price
Great looking case, especially with its aluminum face plate. It's almost indistinguishable from any of the A/V systems I have. One thing I would change is to make the case wider to match the width of the standard A/V systems, and not as deep, so it won't stick out of some shallow A/V racks. The case fan on the bottom is loud, so It disconnected it, now it's whisper quiet. Overall I'm content with the purchase.

- heat issues
Terrible case. My memory was fried. It is a great looking cheap case, but major heat issues. Look at the reviews on Newegg. I returned mine to Amazon and had a great return experience. Amazon rocks.

- Not well design at all
After receive the case the quality is below what i have expected. The material looks like cheap metal not thick and doesn't help in cooling.
not much of space for hard drive only one space and two more space if you want to screw to the side of the case where it should be for the two case fans. i have no idea how to install the DVD-rom with the included accessories. the measurement is not will fit with most tv stand if you are using it for HTPC. Is Just very bad design.

PROS: Price, Size, Quality, Quiet(see cons...) Ease of installing (see cons again...), has space for 2 dvd/bd, Looks great to me, Wife didnt complain either, nice touch for mounting power supply cable I guess, also stays very cool with the provided fans. (E2200 O/C 2.9 (bsel)on ECS crap board, Thermaltake TMG i2 pipe style cooler, Corsair HX520, 750gb Samsung, 320gb Seagate, 4gb DDR2 800, Samsung DVDRW SH-S223F, Diamond HD3650 premium tuner/video card(see cons..)Vista Ultimate. Did not have to use any other fans as of yet.

CONS: While most are minor the biggest was I could not fit my BFG 8800 GTS 512, it hit my old ... Read More
