Strengths:: Good quality powersupply, stylish, esata, quiet fan. small size.
Weaknesses:: tight fit for cables. the hd/optical pull out part fits in just right.
customized SFF powersupply
Summary:: Love the case. Built a few dozen systems over the years with minuet cases, in some small fileservers (24/7). Havent had a powersupply die yet (knock on wood).

Lookin' good!

Strengths:: Nice looking case, comes with stands so it can go on its side. eSATA port on front. Quiet. Small. Fancy blue lights. You can build a good and tight system with it.
Weaknesses:: 350W power supply is proprietary and on the weaker side, only has a 4 pin EATX12V connector for CPU. I don't see upgrade options around. Depending on the rest of your build plans it could pose limitations, and if not it might be an issue for the next build. Basically case and power supply it would seem to me at least, are virtually inseparable from the start.
Summary:: I was worried when I started the build about the power supply not being upgradeable, but it was too good looking to return without trying. I have a hard drive, an SSD (stowed in unused 3.5 external bay), an int bluray, and that's it. I'm using an i5 3.2ghz with Asus p7h55-m pro. I plugged the 4-pin power connector into half the 8-pin EATX12V on the mobo with no problems, however a quad core processor might not like that. Runs cool. No issues so far.

Good

Strengths:: Stylish and quiet. Easy to mount and access drives (drive bay is removable or tilts up for easier access). Cooling is excellent.
Weaknesses:: If you've got a lot of cabling or if you use a ribbon cable (yuck) to connect any of your drives you may encounter problems when attempting to tilt the drive bay assembly down to its normal position which, in turn, causes the case to be difficult to close. A little tweaking and some well placed zip-ties helps keep the cables tame enough to close the cover properly.

I know that it should go without saying but since the case is a micro it might not be the best choice if you're planning to use a high performance graphics card.
Summary:: A great overall case with a minor build issue.
