Solidly built! The case is very heavy compared to the cheaper Antec cases I have used. I upgraded my main system case which was an Antec 300 Gammer case from 2007. This new Coolermaster case is alot more cable friendly than the old Antec. The three 200mm and one 140mm case fans included are greatly appreciated! The hard drive bays are easy slide out tool-less ones right in front of the 200mm fan for great cooling.
Weaknesses:
I didn't like the plastic auto connectors for the pci slots, I broke two of them trying to install my Geforce GTX 480. Not a big deal though because there are two screw holes available anyway which I used and are more solid.
Summary:
This was the easiest build I have ever done with any case. The tool-less installation was a breeze. Everything fits together firmly and solidly. The case is made of a heavier gauge of metal and even the doors are very heavy. I hate flimsy cases and this one definitely is a solid case. I did look at buying another Antec case but all the reviews talked about poor cable management. That's why I decided to try this case and I am very happy with it.
Huge case, I knew it was a full ATX tower but man this would eat most mid-towers for breakfast
USB 3.0 Bracket, A huge plus for thoes with a USB 3 header on the mobo, easy access, deffinatly a nice touch
Plenty of room for all your components, 2 SSD converters are included for mounting in the HDD cage
Solid build, especially for the price
Weaknesses:
This is one heavy case, even without your build inside
Make sure you have alot of fan headers on your mobo, there are tons of fans, all of the fans do come with a 4 pin molex converter if you do run out of headers
Summary:
This case is amazing, it has tons of room for expansion. The design is also a major plus, you can effectivly run all of your cabling behind the motherboard tray to reduce clutter and to maximize airflow. Keeps things super cool. The only thing to watch out for would be the size. Make sure you have a space set aside for it because when you put it there you probably wont move it. Overall very satisfied
- Very roomy, fits my 2 HD 6950's and cooler master hyper 212+ with room to spare.
- You can add extra fans, and he cooling is good is good out of the box.
- The newer ones come with a USB 3.0 panel, all the older reviews/pictures don't show this (guessing they weren't out then). But the newer do have them.
- You can hook up wheels on the bottom to move it easier.
- The fans that come with this are great, and very silent.
Weaknesses:
- A little short on room in the back if you have a lot of connections.
- The case is a little heavy, and hard to move. There's no handles, so you have to grab an edge or something. And the weight is a lot, especially with your build inside.
- depending on our orientation of your video card(s), the diffuser fan piece may not fit on properly. (Just a black piece of plastic you can attach a fan onto, and than attach it to your case to blow more air on to your video card)
Summary:
It's a good case, I don't have any regrets buying this case. I think they could've used a little bit stronger/better plastic, but there isn't that much plastic to begin with. I actually didn't buy this here, but when I saw the sale and no review I thought of adding one.
