Smaller than it looks.

- Strengths:
- Good construction, lots of fans, easy SSD mount.
- Weaknesses:
- Fan bracket (I think?) that sticks out from the hard drive bays exactly where you'd be putting cables if you were using a high end GPU. Removable, but wiring through the bracket is so tight its very difficult to get them out intact. No documentation besides warranty and the one page SSD mounting guide.
- Summary:
- Building something without a high end GPU, go for it. If you have a long card, get something else.
Awesome Case - Poor Cable Management

- Strengths:
- Awesome Case Looks Great Plenty of Cooling options
- Weaknesses:
- Poor cable management. I can't get over this one enough. I bought the case knowing about the lack of cable management, but unfortunately even with cable ties, it's not a great solution.
- Summary:
- Overall this is an amazing case, if you're a big neat freak, I would suggest against buying it as there isn't much in terms of cable management in the case.
Ok case

- Strengths:
- Looks Great Adjustable fans Case keeps cool
- Weaknesses:
- Cable Management (very hard and tricky to hide) No room between Hard drives and Video Cards. Collects dust fast Unable to add a side fan when using a Corsair dual fan Water Cooler for CPU When using a Corsair Dual fan CPU water cooler unable to close side case door
- Summary:
- A really cool looking case. I only had real problems hiding the cables and finding room to add two high performance Crossfire Video cards and two hard drives. After those issues were dealt with I was unable to close the side door because of the tabs that hold for an additional fan on the door were hitting my Corsair Dual fan CPU cooler, I had to cut a couple tabs in order for the door to close.

- Strengths:
- - No need to buy additional fans
- CPU idles at 21C (first gen core i5 650)
- GPU sapphire radeon 6970 at 50C
- Sturdy
- Little nook at the top is awesome to put a charging phone/other small electronic on
- Fans have adjustable settings, low or medium is super quiet - Weaknesses:
- - As the name suggests, this case weighs nine hundred pounds, but it's okay because I'm super jacked I regularly take my entire computer case to the gym to do curls with
- Cable management is pretty bad (read: non-existent)
- Had a small problem when installing video cards that the DVI port which sticks out from the back of the computer came extremely close to the edge of the backplate of the case so that I couldn't attach any displays to the port without first filing down the backplate - Summary:
- - This case is fantastic, won't get much better than this within this price range (sub $250)

- Strengths:
- It manages to keep my S775 X9650, and my Evga 560ti, two sata drives, and audiogy 2 card, and mainboard cool.
Keeps the mainboard at 30C or just under or a little over at times.
I haven't yet checked with evga precision as to what temps my graphic card is getting yet. I just know the case resolved a temperature issue i was having with my board. - Weaknesses:
- So far, i just dislike the fan on the top, as i used to put stuff on top the pc... now i can't.
Aside from that i don't see any weaknesses, oh just for your info, you need drive mounts to mount your HDD's into this case. I luckily had some already it comes with 1 drive mount, and a bunch of screws and stuff, most of it is useless but meh. Still a nice case. - Summary:
- Overall i'm quite happy with the case.
It did what it wanted it too, got me below 45C for my mainboard, my cpu was fine temp wise already, i'm sure it likely helped the EVGA gtx 560 ti card too, as i would hit 72C in games with that card, at default fan speeds. But, this case, has a middle fan plus a front fan, and it focuses on graphic cards, in that regard, yet it has all around cooling.
I'm quite happy with it.
Cool

- Strengths:
- Major cooling
Looks like a stealth fighter - Weaknesses:
- Fans are pretty loud
- Summary:
- Swapped the guts from an upgraded but overheating HP computer into this case. Dropped CPU temps by about 40 degrees during heavy load (video conversion) and GPU temps down by about 25 degrees during gaming.
It looks really great, and the controller nook is a nice place to put an iPod or cellphone while transferring files.
Great value for the money.
Not the Antec 1200 but still a good case

- Strengths:
- - Good Solid Case
- Good gaming case
- Powered up it looks wicked
- Lots of fans
- Fits two Graphic cards - Weaknesses:
- - HD placement leaves no room for the extra fan I bought
- tricky and tight hiding wires and cables
- power button hard to find if you have under desk - Summary:
- I built a high end system using this case and I managed to make it look like it was put together by a professional. This was achieved in no less than 6-7 tries. There is a trick to wire hiding as I found out, never the less it turned out looking spanking and very happy with build. I could not fit Antecs inside fan case around my hard drives because it left no room to fit fan with the ATI 9650 graphic card. Drool factor of 9 out of 10 when powered up.

- Strengths:
- Solid, well built case. Excellent cooling features, the multiple fans keep things from getting warm under any conditions. The huge 200mm top mount fan does an amazing job and is very quiet.
- Weaknesses:
- Lack of cable management. Large size of case means you need to be careful selecting a power supply so the cables will reach all the components. While some people will enjoy the blue led's on the front & rear case fans, I personally find the front lights to be a pain. They are very bright and the location means they constantly shine in my eyes, I'm replacing the front 2 fans with unlighted versions this weekend.
- Summary:
- A good, large case for enthusiasts. I would recommend it.
Solid Case

- Strengths:

-Looks cool and runs cool with LED 3-speed adjustable fans

- -Side mount for optional fan does not allow you to use an aftermarket CPU Air Cooler (TRUE, Venomous-X, prolimatech megahalems)
-Fans are loud at highest setting
-Bottom mounted PSU may cause cable length issues - Summary:
- Great case, good value
Fitment issue with CPU cooler

- Strengths:
- this case cools your computer amazingly and is actually very quiet if the fans are on low or medium it is very sturdy and looks great the blue LEDs are a great touch and brings the whole thing together the USBs and power button and all that kind of stuff is in the best place imaginable and the area for your IPOD is great cameras and ipods all fit great
- Weaknesses:
- this case is loud if your fans are set to high and it doesn't cook your dinner or do your Landry
- Summary:
- over all this is an amazing case and i would recommended it to anyone i love it and keeps everything very cool
