Aesthetically pleasing, but lacks proper air flow.

Strengths of the product
Comes with four fans, one rear and three front. The front three are RGB.
Very light
Nice to look at
Weaknesses of the product
Severe airflow problem
Fan cables too short to reach motherboard
Additional Comments
There's no top venting, only small holes behind the rear fan. The front panel has a three inch vent near the top and bottom, for all three fans this isnt anywhere near enough air flow.
I had an overheating problem day one, I figured that you can remove the front panel so that there's more air flow but now there's nothing stopping dust from getting inside my case.
I'm going to have to drill holes in the front panel and come up with some way of mounting removable dust covers behind the holes.
If you have a water cooling rig, this case is great for the price but otherwise I'd suggest steering clear unless you want to make some modifications to the case for air flow.
Great if you want to BBQ the parts!

Strengths of the product
Great looking, comes with 4 fans and the price isn't too bad.
Weaknesses of the product
This case is notoriously known for having very poor front fan ventilation, myself had the motherboard reaching over 45° C when running for more then 4 hours at a time. When I took off the front cover so the fans could breathe motherboard temps went down to 32° C. Don't even ask what the cpu and gpu temps were at..
Additional Comments
Do not get this case unless you want to run with the faceplate off.
Official Reply from Memory Express:
Hello Mike.
Sensor temperature readings in the 45° C range are well within the safe zone for modern motherboards; even during extended marathon gaming sessions.
While that temperature may be higher than you like personally, it is well within the normal and safe operating range of your hardware.
Feel free to reinstall your Tempered Glass Faceplate if you like how it looks...
5 star to make up for a 1.

Strengths of the product
Easy to build
Thank god all these features are becoming standard
3 RGB Fans are worth at least the sale price I spent for this case.
Weaknesses of the product
The 1 stupid thing (each case apparently has to have 1 or multiple stupid things.) like another reviewer mentioned is the front fans are too short to reach the motherboard, waiting on some extensions from amazon.
No RGB Hub, but in my eyes that's not a weakness because one usually immediately tacks on 50-80$ to the price tag.
Additional Comments
Normally I'd 4 star this case because it's impossible to install the front fans without the (not supplied) 4pin extension cables.
But some guy decided to leave a 1 star reviews for no RGB hub (on a 89$ case) and poor air flow.
My Temps are fine right now and I don't even have the front fans plugged in yet, played PUBG OC'd on air without a single issue.
I'm not a enthusiast, but the 200R was out of stock and this was the best thing in that price range, and I'm not disappointed.

Strengths of the product
Lots of cable management room.
3 x RGB LED 120mm fans in the front, 1 x 120mm fan in rear.
120mm rad AIO cooler will fit in the back.
Decent build quality.
Tempered glass side panel.
Dedicated SSD Mounting area.
PSU Cover.
PSU Fan dust cover.
RGB 3-way splitter.
Weaknesses of the product
No optical drive bay.
Fan cables are too short to reach the main board (had to use extensions that did not come with the case).
Does come with a molex fan splitter if you don't mind running fans at max all the time.
No grommets for cable routing holes.
Only two hard drive bays and one SSD bay (can mount SSD in hard drive bay).
Additional Comments
This is an awesome case for $109. Just amazing. Great cable management, good build quality, tempered glass...all features you would find in a more expensive case. The RGB fans work great, and can all plug into a single header using the splitter that comes with the case. The fan cables are way too short, and they only supply a molex splitter (- 1 star) Everything else is great. Can't believe it's only $109.
