Very Nice

- Strengths:
- - large case - good airflow - room for tons of fans (came with 3 fans) - digital temp on the front seems fairly accurate - easy hard drive installation - room on the right side of the case to run cords
- Weaknesses:
- I am over all pleased with the product with nothing to complain about.
- Summary:
- Great case, Zalman design is sharp, stays cool. For the price I am overly pleased.
Good Case

- Strengths:
- Fans run quiet in case and lights look great. Nice to have fan control but I just set the speed and never touch it. Hard drive installation very easy. Great price. Good air flow through the case. Easy to take apart and put back together again.
- Weaknesses:
- Case metal is more flexible than most. Cable management could be better specifically with the hard drives.
- Summary:
- Highly recommend this case for the price. Very happy with the purchase.
Very quiet, nice looking

- Strengths:
- In my family PCs are usually changing every 5 years. This is the first case which I would define as a really quiet. Plus, we have 4 vents (2 of them with have LED lights); temperature display. Very "roomy" and nice "smart wares" arrangement.
- Weaknesses:
- None.
- Summary:
- Got it for $49.00 after rebate. Recommend.
Good Case for the Money

- Strengths:
- The Plus (front panel fan controller and temp display) is a nice bonus. Tons of room for cables behind the mainboard. Lots of fans. Stylish - good looking. 4 Front USB ports
- Weaknesses:
- Clean construction, good fit, no sharp edges BUT seems a bit flimsy overall. Difficult to remove front bezel. Toolless drive mounting has poor fit -- found it hard to mount drives. Awkwardly placed and wired On/Off Button.
- Summary:
- I paid only $29.99 for this case (Boxing Day Sale Discount AND $10 Mail-In Rebate). Not a bad case at all for what I paid, but because of the "weaknesses" listed above I would have been pissed if I paid more. With all the latest main boards coming with USB 3.0 headers, why can't case manufactureres start making (at least some of) the front USB ports 3.0 compatible ?
Ok

- Strengths:
- coated - no sharp edges (one of the primary reasons i bought the case) bottom mounted PSU design slide in (screwless) HD design
- Weaknesses:
- power LED not connected properly temperature sensor a bit wonky too many price fluctuations. I bought at $49.99 w/ the $10 rebate but then it dropped down to $39.99 two weeks later - $10 rebate = $29.99. Memory Express only has a 7 day match. panels a little on the weak side (easily "bendable") coating can be easily scratched off when inserting side panels or removing them
- Summary:
- The white wire for the power button LED wasn't even connected. I had to perform a little DIY to get that fixed and if it weren't for my jewelry making skills from a previous life, I don't think it would've been an easy job to take apart the tiny connector, pry open the even tinier crimp, and reassemble the whole thing again. Plus, I had the tools which most people don't. Overall, not the best but I bought it primarily because it was coated (no finger cuts!) and for this price, it's ok.

- Strengths:
- Decent case at a sale price
- Weaknesses:
- Bought 3 of these , on 2 of them, the power switch buttons crapped out.The first case Had a faulty switch from the get go.The second one crapped out a couple months after buying it.
- Summary:
- Decent enough of a case to pick up during sales but I didn't have much luck with 2 of these cases because the power buttons had issues.
Very Good Case
8/30/2011 7:10:46 PMJoey from Calgary writes:
- Strengths:
- -Solid construction, mostly metal. Feels like it could take a beating.
-Stylish (IMO) comes with three blue LED fans and a white exhaust fan. The LED fans come mounted at the front, side and top.
-Fan controller is very nice.
-Good cable management (about an inch gap behind the motherboard plate with lots of cable-routing holes)
-Side panels are secured in the back with thumb-screws
-Sideways-mounted 3.5' bays just behind the solid portion of the windowed side panel. - Weaknesses:
- -Rather stiff to take apart the first time. I had to pull really hard and thought I might break it, but didn't. (Note: the side panels slide straight back, and the front panel pulls straight forward in case you were wondering. I initially had no idea how to take it apart because it wouldn't budge either way.)
-PCI slot-covers on the back of the case are only attached with small metal tabs, and then they cannot be put back. - Summary:
- Very good case for the price.
(A bit more detail:)
-Comes with an 8-pin motherboard extension cable
-Comes with plenty of screws, and rubber mounters for the 3.5' bays (tool-less removal!)
-Fan controller requires a molex power input, then outputs to two 3-pin fan connectors
-Front panel needs to be removed to plug the power switch into the motherboard switch/indicator cables. Don't know why it wasn't already connected.
-Big metal side mesh design may let dust in
-Rubber feet
The best gamer's case for the money

- Strengths:
- It has everything you want in a gamer's or high performance computing case - 4+ case fans, temperature sensor, tool less HDD and good price. It is a beautiful case.
- Weaknesses:
- The side cover is a little thinner than Zalman Z7 and Antec 900 but it is still highly acceptable and the cost/benefit is better.
- Summary:
- Highly recommended
The greatest case I have ever owned!
6/6/2011 12:22:25 AMChan from Winnipeg writes:
- Strengths:
- Top quality materials. Thick side panels with no warps. Comes stock with four fans, room for three more! Fan controller with temperature reading is a bonus. Lots of space for cable management. Solid legs and plenty of ground clearance. Easy to take apart to install optical drives or water cooling radiator. Top tray area and grille are a nice touch. Very solid construction and nice design!
- Weaknesses:
- The USB ports could have been spaced out a bit more vertically - can usually only use one port out of each pair comfortably. One side panel appeared to be a tad too long on the back side.
- Summary:
- Not too much to say. You get a LOT of case for the money you pay. Great quality and great design, both inside and out.
