I would of given 5 stars but I wasn't totally happy with it when I received it.The SSD holder slot at the back of the case had 4 screw slots, one of mine was completely bent out of shape and the metal itself is really thin so I was just happy it didn't snap off when I bent it back.I had the same problem with the top of the case when I was installing my H100i GTX, the holders for the 2x120mm fans were bent inwards giving me no option but to risk bending them outwards again.Also there is an option for another intake fan at the bottom of the case but take into account you will not be able to use it if you have a large power supply. I have the EVGA Supernova 850 G2 and it extends over into the fan fitting, so just keep that in mind if you were looking to install an intake fan from the bottom.PRO'SLarge case/more roomRemovable cages allowing longer GPU'sRoom for 240mm radiator to be installed at the top (I'm using the h100i GTX)Nice smoked out side windowCON'SNo rubber grommets in the case making wiring visible.Parts of the case cheaply made/assembled (the parts of mine which were bent)The tray on the top has a gloss finish, absolute nightmare for finger prints, scratches and dust. (wish it had a matte finish like the power button)Not much more I can really say, i'll put up some pictures so you guys can see for yourselves.

A very compelling value-oriented chassis!
I was looking for a case that would offer great features at a reasonable price and I seem to have struck well with this one.The construction quality is solid, there's little flex in the metal frame and the panels feel rigid too, including the windowed side. The window itself has a slightly yellow tint however it doesn't bother me and the blue lighting inside makes it pretty much unnoticeable. But it does get scratched quite easily so I advise keeping the clear film on for as long you are building it to avoid any unwanted scratches.As for the building experience, I was very pleasantly surprised. The front and top panels were a bit of a fiddle to remove as I didn't want to break them because of my well developed forearms, but in the end I should have yanked them off which is a fast way. I removed the hard drive cage to free up some airflow and the process was quite straightforward to me.The cable management was also quite good, however I would have to liked to have some more cable ties, but I was able to make the cabling look neat and tidy.With all of the assembly done I pressed the button and I was greeted with a very very generous amount of airflow which was better than I expected and is a massive plus for me, but at the expense of some noise performance.Overall the performance is very good for the price and I would highly recommend this case for a builder who is on a budget.

Exactly what I wanted at around half the price of similar cases.
I built my own PC and skimped on the case. The result was a pretty good PC but one that was extremely hard to fit. The tight fitting in a small, cheap case caused overheating and random shutdowns. So I replaced the old case with this one.My first impression was that this thing was huge. And kind of Klingon shaped.When it came to fitting all the components and wiring up the multitude of in-built cooling fans this case was fun and easy to use.The positioning of the USB slots on the top of the case is a lot more comfortable than the facia based ones that traditional designs use.The sheer number of cooling fans means that this case comes with a small increase in PC noise but they are very effective.Overall this case is great value for money.'Interesting' design, easy to use, easy to install and very effective cooling system.

Ok case but poor build quality
This case was bought for my first build. Overall the case is ok with some nice blue LEDs. For the price I wasn't expecting anything amazing but the build quality of this case was a real let down.Firstly the instructions in the box are rubbish. Maybe not an issue for experienced builders but for me it made the job harder than it needed to be.The front panel was stuck and would not come off no matter what I tried. In the end I pulled hard and a lug snapped off. Very poor.Cradle for 3.5" internal bays was bent making removal impossible without jamming a screwdriver in to bend it back into shape. Took an hour to diagnose and fix the problem to remove the bays.Bent chassis on the front left hand corner. Doesn't affect anything but a new item shouldn't arrive damaged.Despite this I'm keeping the case. I worked around the issues and can live with the slight damage as it's not really noticeable but if this type of thing bothers you then I'd look elsewhere.

Good case, just wish it hadn't been used.
Got this today, and it seems to be second hand.There were no screws or manual, there was a "Powered by Asrock" sticker on it, the power button had broken off and there were scuff marks around a couple of the stand-off holes.If I hadn't already dismantled my old PC in anticipation I would have returned it.Having said that, it's a good case. My temps are about 10 degrees lower with a 900mhz overclock.I would definitely recommend this case - just make sure you get a new one.

A good case, if at a lower cost
Very good case that has good air flow, only problems encountered were that the screws provided are not very good ;when fitting the optical drive, the holes would not align with spaces given in the case so i had to mod it and cable management is quite hard. I bought this for £43 so i think its worth at that sort of price area.

Why the molex fans zalman?!
This product in virtually all aspects is very good although I found it annoying that the 3 of 5 fans run of molex 4 pin plug which means fans are running at 100% and make any fan noisy, please zalman sort this out! As well the tray on the top is glossy plastic which makes scratches and finger prints more visible. Other than that good quality product.
