good looking design
i/o usb3,usb2,mic/headphone jack,sd slot top front
quiet ( side panels have noise damping material)
dust filter up front , easy to clean
too less design
Weaknesses:
-not fingerprint resistant
-doors does not open to the side like antec p280
-get hot inside,not good 4 gaming more 4 like office work
-low rpm fans with low airflow ( huh ) = overheating
-cable management touches power dampening ,not much space to work with
-cable management holes should be bigger
-usb3 need to be instaled in the back of mobo
Summary:
get other fans
good for home theater case
quiet good value/$.
- Lots of space inside (fits my AMD 5850 easily)
- Extremely Quiet. Virtually no noise when fans are <1600rpm
- Looks great. Sleeek
- hot swappable HDD bay in the front of the case was a surprise and very handy
Weaknesses:
- USB3.0 connector in the front of the case does not connect to motherboard inside. Had to be rerouted back to the outside of the case (connected to MOBO from back) ~~
- Air-flow not as good as other cases with more vents.
Summary:
CPU was heating up to 91 fahrenheit on stock cooler. Had to implement liquid CPU cooler to get temps back below 60 on load. After that, things are all fine and dandy now.
Overall, I would easily recommend this for standard users who want a non-distracting good-looking PC.
For gamers, be prepared to add more cooling.
My build is basically:
- i5 760
- AMD HD5850 (Asus)
- 8GB DDR3 (4GBx2)
- OCZ 240GB SSD (Vertex2)
- Corsair 650W
